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.
Probably the most famous destination on Corfu’s north coast, Sidari is certainly one of the liveliest. This one-time fishing village grew during the Eighties to become a veteran resort with beds for some 14,000 visitors. These days you’ll find a huge array of bars and restaurants on its busy main strip, but you’ve also got pretty, secluded coves and lovely coastal walks, too.
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.
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.
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.
Sidari beach is divided into three parts, the main beach is a long sandy bay, where the water is calm and shallow making it a favourite for families with children. The other beaches are found near the harbour to the east and the famous coves of the Canal D’Amour to the west. The Canal D’Amour is an area of eroding cliffs that have formed several sand and shingle coves. Megali sand & shingle beach has coves that are generally shallow enough to be ideal for children.
