Sidari beach location:
Accessed from the main road through the resort (which is one of the furthest of those located in northern Corfu), Take any of the signposted lanes down to the beach. Follow these secondary roads for a distance of between 0 - 1 km. depending on the road chosen. |
Disabled access:
Substantially flat and accessible for wheelchairs. The are car parks are very close to the beaches. The main beach is very flat, offering excellent accessibility. The canal has some rough stony paths from the parking area and the walk would be unsuitable for the elderly. |
Car parking:
There is a large car park behind the beach but this often gets very busy and you may have to park on the roadside, some distance from the beach |
Food outlets/restaurants: Yes - the widest possible selection |
Sand / pebbles / shingle:
A sand beach that suffers from incoming weed periodically. This is not always cleaned promptly, or it's left in (smelly) rotting mounds. There are also small stones in places. A very large beaen. me nearby Canal d'Amour, although smaller, is scenically more attractive |
Sunbeds/umbrellas:
Yes. The main beach has hundreds of sun beds and umbrellas.
The beach near the Canal even has them clinging to the rock faces! |
Showers: Surprisingly few if any shower points. For toilets, use the beach bars or tavernas |
Safe for children:
This is a very shallow and sandy beach-ideal for children. The main beach is very child friendly and is away from the road. The canal though has some very dangerous unmarked lethal cliffs - do not let children explore on their own. |
Watersports:
Yes. Every type of water sports seems to be available. All except jet ski. You will find water ski, banana rides, paragliding, ringos and scuba diving. |
Sidari beach users: Tourists (thousands of them) |
Well cared for:
In most places, yes but it suffers from too many visitors and can sometimes be dirty and littered |
Mooring for boats: No |
Next to quayside/harbour: No |
Storm drains/outlets into sea: None observed. There is a less than attractive river outlet however |
Natural shady areas: An exposed beach with only the bars and tavernas available for retrea |
Any other facilities:
Full resort facilities. No toilets, but plenty of beach and snack bars along the beaches. |
Distance to main resorts: Sidari 0 - 2 km. depending on location of accommodation. Roda is 7km |
Public transport: Buses and taxi rank. |
Blue Flag: Yes |
