One of the things that make Arillas unique is perhaps the view to the sea. Instead of the open sea, there are many small islands that stand across from Arillas village, which are a stone’s throw away from it. The Arillas sunset over these islands is one of the most beautiful idyllic views in the world.

On the left, about a mile from the beach, is the small rocky island of Gravia, inhabited by seagulls and wild goats. To the right you see the flowing curves of Diapolo and Diakopos, also uninhabited by humans, but beautiful for a boat ride. There are two small beaches and a path leading to a small (abandoned) church.

Then there is the island of Mathraki, the smallest of the Diapontia islands, which has two villages and a harbor. Othoni, the largest of the Diapontia islands and also the westernmost point of Greece, is the last island of the Diapontia that is distinct from the village of Arillas, which is becoming increasingly popular with tourists due to its unspoilt beauty.
