Sidari
For couples and travellers drawn to a northern shore and sandstone coastal scenery
Sandstone fingers and water channels make Canal d’Amour the best-known landmark around Sidari. This northwestern Corfu setting differs from the small-cove coastline in the northeast and from a historic-town base farther south.
We would compare Sidari for a northern holiday that pairs coastal sightseeing with beach days. Couples and travellers who enjoy exploring from one base should distinguish the formation they want to visit from the shore where they want to spend an entire day.
When comparing hotels or villas in Sidari, check the address against both plans. A photograph of the channels does not describe your accommodation’s water access, and it should not be read as advice to swim through rock formations.
Our tip
Separate a Canal d’Amour visit from the beach you want beside your stay. Compare Sidari villas against your daily route rather than the channel photograph alone.
