About Canal d'Amour

Located in the traditional village of Corfu, Sidari, this beach is of extraordinary beauty. Literally meaning “Channel of Love”, this is known throughout Europe as a beach for true lovers. It is believed that if a couple swims together in these waters they will be together forever.

The place also has an underground path if you want to take a break from your swimming, or just take a walk.  This natural masterpiece is constantly changing due to various transformation in natural environment.
