Τhe picturesque Canal d’Amour or ‘Channel of Love’ is known througout Europe and worldwide as the beach for true lovers that want to stay together for all time.
One of the most beautiful and famous beaches on the island of Corfu is located in the north of the island near Sidari, about 32 kilometres for the main town and on the westernmost tip of the island’s northern shore, it is remarkable for its sculpted white sandstone rocks that rise up on either side, forming a natural canal.
A unique spot favoured by tourists, celebrities and quite a few film crews, according to the locals, the Canal d’Amour is also widely known for its detoxifying and healing properties, attributed to rich deposits of clay that form in the sea as the rocks are weathered by the wind and salt water to create small lagoons and beautiful caves.
The beach, popular since the 1960s, each year receives a Blue Flag and is also a good choice for diving and water sports.
