Whether you’re here to swim, sunbathe, explore the rock formations, or soak up the buzz of the town, Sidari delivers a vibrant mix of scenery and energy.

Sidari is on the northwest coast, about 36 km from Corfu Town. The drive takes around 50 minutes.
Yes, the main beach is excellent for families. The sand is soft, and the water is very shallow and calm, making it safe for children. The resort also offers plenty of family-friendly restaurants and activities.
It is very close. The Canal d’Amour area is at the western end of Sidari, just a 5-10 minute walk from the main central beach area.
Yes, as one of Corfu’s most popular resorts, Sidari beach can get very busy, especially in July and August. However, it’s a long and wide beach, so there is usually enough space for everyone.
Only visited for the day and was thankful for it to be honest. The resort is lively and there is lots to do, plus the beach is nice enough but it all just feels a bit like Benidorm. Now there is nothing wrong with Benidorm, but thats not why I come to Greece. If that is your kind of thing then great, but if you want to get away from the full English breakfasts and tribute acts, I would probably avoid Sidari.
People are still very nice there though as with the whole island!
