Walks along the headland from Agios Stefanos to nearby Arillas are popular with fine views and splendid sunsets. The beach at Arillas is a little busier than its neighbour though not as long at 250m nor as deep at just 15m. But it is flat and sandy with shallow waters, so great for families and backed by low rolling hills. The islet of Gravia just offshore and reachable if you are a decent enough swimmer. There are sunbeds, watersports, boats for hire and a water taxi to other Corfu resorts along the coast. In the resort itself there is a wide selection of minimarkets - I counted seven, there may be more - and a few shops selling tourist souvenirs.

Beach location: Follow the road from Sidari and Avliotes to Arillas in order to access this massive expanse of sand. The access is signposted from the main road as you travel beyond Avliotes village. It's about 1-2 km. beyond the village. Disabled access: There is limited disabled access to Arillas beach available at certain points. Elsewhere rising gradients and some steep drops to the beach hamper wheelchair access. The sand is also soft. Car parking: Park on the roadside. This gets busy and parking is sometimes difficult and you may find yourself parking some distance from Arillas beach.
