Overview: Sidari, a resort popular with British tourists and known for its lively tavernas, bars and nightlife, is a developed resort that has combined a couple of smaller fishing villages. It is located 26 miles (42km) north of Corfu town on the north coast of Corfu and is famous for its long sandy beaches with warm, shallow waters, making it the perfect location for a safe and relaxing family holiday. Sidari is also famous for the Canal D'Amour where it is thought that people who bathe in the waters will find romance.
Shopping: There is plenty of shopping for gifts and jewellery along the main strip and many souvenir shops can be found selling quality merchandise.
Restaurants: Sidari has many restaurants offering a wide variety of food, and most English dishes are served with a Greek twist. Restaurants such as Sea Breeze are situated on the beach front which makes dining an experience as the sun sets in the distance.
Nightlife: The nightlife in Sidari is second to none with a range of bars and nightclubs catering to all kinds of evening entertainment. There is even an open-air club called Caesars, which stays open until 8am. Most regular bars on the 400-metre strip stay open until around 3am and the area can become quite noisy as a result.
Activities: Most types of water sports are available, except jet skis. Boats can be hired and no license is needed. There is small horse riding centre geared for children and boat trips to nearby islands can be organised as well as a coach trip to Albania and horse and carriage rides.
Negatives: Due to the late closing times of the bars and clubs along the main strip of Sidari, the area can become quite noisy.
