Sidari car corfu hire

Sidari:

Sidari beach runs parallel to the main road and boasts dark terracotta sand and warm, shallow water. The Canal d'Amour Is Sidari's star attraction. Originally a rock formation in the shape of an arch, though this has long since crumbled away, legend has it that any woman who swims its length will win the man of her dreams. This area also has several sandy coves enclosed by rocky gorges. Watch the sun go down at Sunset Beach and you'll agree that this stunning spot, with its narrow strip of sand and towering cliffs, more than lives up to its name. A few kilometres west of Sidari, It's quiet and romantic here though there are no sunloungers or parasols for hire.

The dramatic wind-carved sandstone cliffs which wall the delightful little coves lying just west of Sidari, provide a breathtaking backdrop to this bustling resort. Not so very long ago, this was a sleepy little place made up of little more than a village square surrounded by a cluster of pretty cottages. Today, it's a popular holiday destination for families who like the fact that everything they need is within easy reach.

The main beach is long and roomy, great for children and has a variety of watersports. There are also plenty of bars, restaurants, tavernas and extremely well sucked shops to visit.

In Sidari, you can choose the pace which suits you. It tends to have a relaxed, laid back feel during the day and in the evening the streets are full of families taking a stroll and sampling the roasted nuts, cakes and ice-creams on sale at the shops and stalls. Later at night, the resort really begins to buzz and though there are stacks of lively karaoke and dance bars to try, there are also plenty of quieter restaurants and beachside bars.

A bike is a great way to see the countryside around Sidari that many holidaymakers miss. Simply amble through quiet lanes and olive groves for the day at your own pace or take an energetic12km guided cycle tour to really cover some ground. There are pony treks available too. A motorboat is a great way to see the beauty of the northern coastline. Contact the Yellow Boat Company, on the beach or at the office.

The Sidari water-slide is a big hit with children. Parents like it too for its cheap entrance price, free sunloungers and parasols. A snack bar sells sandwiches, spaghetti and drinks. For some fast and furious fun head for Sidari Go-Karts, near the BP garage. Adults can choose between low or highpowered karts and there are mini-karts for kids under five.

The delights of Corfu Town are an easy bus ride away-they run regularly from Sam to 7.30pm every day except Sundays. Or head out to the pretty fishing village of Kassiopi on one of four buses a day from 9.30am onwards, except Sunday. The bus stop is by Theo & Billy's Bar.

Beautifully crafted, but often expensive, ceramics are Achaia's forte. The stunning seven-piece mezedes set comes in the higher price bracket but the cheaper, multi-coloured pitcher with goblets is lovely too. Tassos and Bill has fur-lined suede slippers and leather gloves at unbelievably low prices - as well as a range of belts, wallets and bags. Wood and Stone has lots of cheap and cheerful nick-hacks to take home including wooden toys, hairclips and smooth shiny quartz.

For a more secluded experience, slip on to its rear terrace for meals like squid, fried peppers, aubergines and oven-baked cheese but keep an eye on the waiters - they're prone to sudden, unannounced bursts of Greek dancing.
