Arillas Beach, known locally as Πέρδικα, is a picturesque sandy beach found in the region of Θεσπρωτία, Ελλάδα, overlooking the Ionian Sea. It is situated on the route from Sivota to Parga, being closer to Parga, and is nestled in a wide bay. The beach is renowned for its calm, crystal clear waters, making it a family-friendly destination, especially for those with children.
One of the striking features of this beach is its spacious and lengthy sandy stretch, offering ample space for visitors to comfortably set up their umbrellas and beach chairs. However, it lacks natural shade, so visitors are suggested to bring their own sunshades. The beach is characterized by its shallow waters, which remain below chest level even after walking 20 meters into the sea. The smooth sand and shallow waters make it a safe place for both experienced swimmers and beginners.
Arillas Beach is equipped with various amenities, including showers for visitors to use. For the younger visitors, the beach hosts an inflatable space on the water and a water park. However, it's important to note that there are no shops in the immediate vicinity, with only restaurants available nearby. Therefore, visitors are advised to bring their necessities.
The beach provides parking facilities located above the beach area, making it convenient for visitors traveling by car. It can be reached via a local, winding and picturesque road from Sivota. A signpost marks the location of the beach, but using navigation tools for accurate directions is suggested.
Despite its popularity, Arillas Beach generally remains quiet and uncrowded. At times, the beach may experience large waves which can make it difficult to enter and exit the sea. However, once past the shore, these waves can be enjoyed by the visitors. The beach is also known for offering mesmerizing views of the sunset due to its west-facing position.
