The owners would like to bring to your attention that families with small children using the large swimming pool, should take full responsibility for their children and only allow them to use the separate children’s pool. Both pools do not offer a life guard service hence parents are advised to keep a watch full eye on their children at all times and never leave a child unattended for any reason.
In the bay of Sidari is the ‘Canal d’Amour’, a channeled rock formation, said to be two lovers turned to stone. Any couple swimming through it is promised eternal love! It is one of a number of strange rock formations caused by the erosion of the sandstone cliffs, and there are also secluded sandy coves nestling between the steep, craggy rocks, reached by footpaths which run over the gorse-covered hillocks. |

Sidari is a long-standing favourite with families and singles alike, thanks to its excellent beaches and relaxed atmosphere. The main beach is a two mile curve of sand and shingle, with safe swimming and a good selection of watersports. The resorts single main street is lined with shops and a wide choice of tavernas and bars. After sundown, it’s lively without going over the top, and there are a couple of good discos. It’s easy to see why this area is such a popular choice with all kinds of holidaymakers. Sidari has developed into one of Corfu's thriving holiday resorts while retaining much of its original charm. The village church and picturesque village square, its broad sandy beach and striking rock formations all make this a resort with character. Sidari has enough natural beauty and facilities to appeal to families yet enough nightlife to appeal to young singles.
It is one of the oldest known settlements on Corfu. Archaeologists have found traces of a Neolithic community living here in about 7000BC. It has come quite a long way since those days, to become the bustling holiday resort that it is today |

The beach is divided into three parts. The main beach is the central stretch, a long sandy bay, water is remarkably calm and extremely shallow, making this a favourite with children and swimmers.
Watersports are available. Other Sidari beaches are found near the harbour to the east and the famous coves of the Canal D'Amour to the west. Those furthest from the resort are the quietest. Tourist could also explore fine beaches in Roda (north Corfu) and to the west of Sidari, both short drives. |

‘Affordable-Corfu’s’ quick Sidari overview
Sidari is the most famous tourist resort of north Corfu and one of the places that every visitor of the island have to see. It is found in distance 32 km away from the city. Sidari has acquired world reputation, which it owes to the famous "Canal d’ Amour". It is an infrequent natural phenomenon. It is an underground path between two rocks that the visitor can easily walk to, due to shallow waters. This point is recommended for diving. There are many caves under the canal. Sidari beach has been awarded with the Blue Flag.
The beach is really wonderful. The white carven rocks that look like natural sculptures and the light blue waters compose an exotic view. Except, from the Canal d’ Amour, in Sidari you can also swim in the small coves that take shape between the rocks and give the sense of private beaches. This is one of the first regions of Corfu that developed their tourist infrastructure. There are many choices for entertainment. Every summer over than 5.000 tourists are visiting Sidari and most of them are British. |
