Sidari
Sidari, a holiday 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.
Information & Facts
Activities
Holidaymakers will find that most types of water sports are
available in Sidari, 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 like Paxos and Erikoussa
can be organised as well as a coach trip to Albania and horse and
carriage rides. There is a regular bus to Corfu Town and Aqualand
water park.
Language
Greek is the national language, but English is widely
spoken.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, divided into 100 cents.
Banks and bureaux de change are widely available and travellers
cheques and major credit cards are widely accepted. ATMs are
widespread and are generally the cheapest and most convenient
method of obtaining euros.
Negatives
Due to the late closing times of the bars and clubs along the
main strip of Sidari, the area can become quite noisy. The lack of
cultural and historical attractions dissuades many visitors looking
for a quieter and more authentically Greek holiday.
Night Life
The nightlife in Sidari is second to none with a range of bars
and nightclubs catering to all kinds of evening entertainment and
holiday visitors will not be disappointed. Karaoke is popular in
several bars, and there is an open-air club called Caesar's which
stays open until 8am. Most regular bars on the 400-metre strip stay
open until around 3-4am and the area can become quite noisy as a
result.
Restaurants
Sidari has many restaurants offering a wide variety of food for
holiday visitors to enjoy, and most English dishes are served with
a Greek twist. Restaurants such as Sea Breeze are situated on the
beachfront which makes dining an experience as the sun sets in the
distance. Expats tend to populate Southern Fried Chicken, while
Jeni's Mediterranean Moments is great for lighter meals and The
Orchard is recommended for traditional Greek fare.
Shopping
There is plenty of shopping along the main strip and many
souvenir shops can be found selling quality merchandise. The island
is noted for its gold and silver jewellery, and leather goods,
painted ceramics, and olive wood products are all popular Sidari
souvenirs.
