Tour to Sidari & Canal D’Amour, Kassiopi, Barbati: 3 Top Destinations In One Day

A day Tour to Sidari and Canal D’Amour, Kassiopi and Barbati Beach* is a great choice to swim in some of the best beaches in Corfu. Take a look at our tour description and book your tickets before they are sold out!

The tour takes place every Tuesday and Saturday from 09:00 to 19:00h and we depart from the Douglas Column, a central location in Corfu Town.

Hotel pickup is available, on request, depending on your location.

1. Barbati Beach, the Ionian Tranquility

Start the day by swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Barbati, a popular but not too crowded pebble beach sheltered by the green slopes and cliffs of Mount Pantokrator.

The morning views of the Old Fortress of Corfu, the Greek Mainland, and the Albanian mountains have a smooth light with pastel colours that will make you feel happy and relaxed. On Barbati shore, you will find many beach bars and cafes among olive oil trees and bougainvillaeas, the perfect place to have the first coffee while looking forward to a great day!

2. Kassiopi Port, the Jewel of the North

Kassiopi lies on the northeast cape of Corfu Island and is one of the first coast destinations in Corfu, with ancient remains of Greek and Roman settlements.

Immerse yourself in the authentic charm of this old fishing village, rich in history and natural beauty. You can walk along the port and take pictures of the small kaiques (fishing boats), have a coffee in one of the many local cafes and taverns, explore the ancient Byzantine castle – the oldest in Corfu – or visit a picturesque church built in the 16th century.

“The Church of the Panagia Kassopitra or the Virgin of Kassopitra stands on the site of the Temple of Zeus Kassios, which gives the town of Kassiopi its name.” (Patrick Comerford, 2019)

 

Don’t forget to take a short walk to the hidden gems of Bataria and Pipitos Bay beaches, known for their turquoise and emerald waters that offer a true taste of paradise!

3. A Tour to Sidari and the Canal D’Amour, at last!

Let’s continue the adventure until we reach Sidari Beach, a popular resort for families and couples of all nationalities. Our guests will have plenty of time to sunbathe, have lunch, swim, relax and walk around the area. Don’t forget to embark on a romantic journey through the enchanting Canal D’Amour, a natural wonder carved into sandstone cliffs with incredible colours. As a local legend tells, swimming in this magical channel with your loved one ensures everlasting love.

Once there you will also have the choice of renting a small boat, or booking a seat to visit Cape Drastis and Canal D’Amour from the sea, an experience you will enjoy and never forget!

The Tour to Sidari and Canal D’Amour is indeed a great choice for those who seek Corfu’s authentic beauty with nature and lovely beaches in a relaxed full-day excursion.
