Sidari, Corfu: beaches, boats and day trips from the north coast

Sidari is a resort town on Corfu's north coast, about 35 km from Corfu Town and close to Canal d'Amour. It is the main base for boats along the coast and the usual bus stop for the north-west.

By Cape Drastis editors · Updated

Short answer: Sidari is the most practical base on the north coast: a beach, shops, boat rentals and the KTEL bus to Corfu Town. Cape Drastis and Logas are a short drive away.

What to do

  • Canal d’Amour: a short walk or boat ride along the sandstone, see Canal d’Amour.
  • Boats: rentals from Sidari Beach, including the route to Cape Drastis and Mermaid Island, see boat trips.
  • Sunset: drive to Logas or the cape.
  • Day trips: see tours from Sidari for boat trips and Corfu day trips.

For a smaller base, see Peroulades and Agios Stefanos.

Getting around

The KTEL green bus A2 links Corfu Town and Sidari (see airport to Sidari). For the cape, Logas and quieter villages, a car is far easier.
