Sidari holidays

Holidays to Sidari take you to one of Corfu's liveliest resorts. But this buzzy town has a gentle side, with its secluded coves and inlets.

Plenty of personality

Sidari is probably one of the liveliest destinations on Greece’s popular island, Corfu. This one-time fishing village grew during the Eighties and is now packed full of things to do all day long, from whizzing down flumes at a water park to staying out all night in the town’s main strip, which is teeming with bars and restaurants. On the flipside, you’ve also got scenic coves and coastal walks, too.

A brace of beaches

Sidari’s main beach is a 500-metre stretch of Blue Flag sand and shingle. The waters here are calm and shallow, and they come with a great line-up of watersports, including parasailing and diving. Plus you’ll get all the food and drink you need from the beachfront shops and restaurants. The resort also comes with 2 smaller beaches – one of them, Megali, is surrounded by rock pools.

Lively nights

When it comes to evening entertainment, you can certainly find fun outside your hotel. Sidari is a night owl that lays on the late-night bars and pubs in a major way. Those who like a show will find everything from Elvis tributes to karaoke. And with a multitude of sports bars, there’ll be no missing out on matches.

Daytrips to Corfu Town

It’s less than an hour’s drive to the island’s capital, Corfu Town – or Kerkyra, as it’s also known. The big draw here is an old town with its fortress, churches and hidden garden squares. It dates from the 8th-century BC. And for a cosmopolitan fix, there’s the Esplanade, a central square brimming with cafés – the best ones for people-watching are in the Liston, a 19th-century Parisian-style building.
