Sidari beach guide

Sidari is one of the north coast's busiest resorts, with a wide sandy beach on its eastern side. The water is warm and shallow, which makes it popular with families.

The beach is lined with cafés and beach bars that rent sunbeds, and there's a full range of watersports: pedalos, paddleboards, kayaks, jet skis, inflatables and parasailing. At the western end of the village, about 10 minutes' walk from the bus station, are the sandstone coves of Canal d'Amour.

Sidari is about an hour's drive from Corfu Town, and buses run there daily from the KTEL bus station.
