You're sure to get the perfect Greek island experience on your holidays in Sidari. This blissful beach resort, located in the northern part of pretty Corfu, is famous for its humble fishing village roots yet far from being a sleepy backwater, with its main strip abuzz with lively restaurants, cocktail bars and pubs. Stretch out for hours on Sidari’s Blue Flag sand and shingle beach and get active with a great line-up of watersports.
Sidari is also perfect for family holidays and kids can spend hours at the waterpark or take horse-riding lessons. The main beach, close to the centre, is also popular for its calm, shallow waters, perfect for kids to paddle in. Holidays to Sidari are all about evening entertainment and if you take a detour down the side streets you’ll stumble upon lively tavernas, late-night karaoke bars and bouzouki dancing. You can also shop for bargain handicrafts, silver jewellery and souvenirs along the main strip.
If you can pull yourself away from the beach, drive into the island’s capital for its historic old town, fortress and spectacular garden squares. Couples or those looking for love must head to Canal D'Amour, where a dip in the waters is believed to bless you and bring you romance. June is the perfect time to visit Sidari if you want a sunshine beach holiday, but they can also be enjoyed anytime of the year, with the sun shining gloriously in October as well. To get there, fly to Corfu airport and a half-hour drive will take you to Sidari resort.
Essential Information: When you go and what you’ll need
Sidari’s main beach is a Blue Flag beauty and it's where most tourists flock to hire a stripy sunlounger, soak up the summer rays and dip their toes in the sea. There are also smaller, shingly stretches to the east and west of the main beach, which are well worth a visit.
When The Sun Sets In Sidari
Sidari is full of great bars with resident DJs where you can dance the night away. Stop for a cocktail or two at Mojitos before heading to Sugar nightclub for a boogie. For something different, why not do your souvenir shopping at night? Or venture down the side streets to find traditional tavernas and Greek dancing!
Swim the Channel of Love
The Canal D’Amour is a natural phenomenon you're sure to fall in love with. The idyllic area is made up of unique rock formations that cut through the sparkling Ionian sea to form coves and canals. Legend has it that couples who swim through this famous channel of love together, stay together. So make sure you visit one of the most iconic spots in Corfu with 'the one'!
Have Fun in the Water
The main beach is the place to hire a pedalo or enjoy a ride on a banana boat. If you want to get up close and personal with the local marine life, Blue Paradise Scuba Diving Center is the place to go. Sidari Waterpark is free to residents of the adjacent hotel and is a great option for a family day out, too!

Something for everyone from summer playgrounds of golden sands to peaceful relaxation in the pine-fringed calas of the east coast.
