Sidari Holidays

You’d be forgiven for never leaving the amazing beaches throughout your stay, but if you’re looking for other things to do in Sidari, then there are also a number of great options.

• Canal D’Amour – this lovely little cove, with the clear ocean trickling down into it, makes a peaceful addition to your holiday adventures. When you’re done, head over to one of the many restaurants and bars in the local area.
• Waterpark – Visit the local waterpark to slip and slide your cares away. It’s great fun for family holidays, group getaways and couples too!
• Diving Centres – Whether you’re a scuba diving fanatic or just starting out, there’s something for you at the local diving centre.
• Water Sports – Thrill-seekers will love the wide variety of water sports on offer in Sidari. Think fly fishing, paragliding and more adrenaline-fuelled fun. Not for the faint hearted!
• Corfu Town – Looking for something a bit different? Book yourself a seat on the coach towards the elegant and traditional Corfu Town, which is less than an hour’s drive away. Many companies offer door to door service for this trip, which gives you the chance to see the island’s hub and get a real sense of its character.

As it is in most of Greece, eating in Corfu is always a pleasure. There’s an exciting range of Sidari restaurants and tavernas to choose from.

• The native cuisine is delightfully simple and authentic. Most of the cooking relies on simple seasonings, fresh meat or fish, and a diverse mix of delicious vegetables.
• If you’ve visited Greece before, you’ll know it’s common to enjoy a meal of smaller tapas-like dishes called mezze. Typical mezze dishes include fried meatballs, octopus, shrimp, squid, cheese, olives and stuffed vine leaves.
• If you’re not into sharing, some of the best restaurants in Sidari offer a tantalising menu of more sizeable mains, such as moussaka (a dish made with lamb and aubergine), kebabs, pastitsio (a Greek pasta dish), stifado (traditional stew) and paidakia (ribs).
• Throughout your meal, you can try some traditional ouzo, a dry (and very strong) anise-infused alcohol that cleanses the palate. It’s traditionally served cold, diluted with water and sipped slowly, so you can drink it over a long period of time without the unwanted effects of strong spirits.

Sidari family holidays are the perfect way to get away with your loved ones and take some time to reconnect. The island of Corfu is extremely family friendly, which means you’ll never be short of things to see and do.
