Sidari and the Canal d'Amour

At Sidari the sea has cut the sandstone into small coves, arches and narrow channels. The best known is the Canal d'Amour: the story goes that couples who swim through it together stay together.

Why go

The shapes change with the light, and the rocks glow at sunset. A short drive west, the cliffs of Peroulades drop straight into the sea, with one of the finest sunsets on the island.

What to do

  • A swim through the Canal d'Amour
  • A walk along the cliff tops at sunset
  • The cliffs and beach of Peroulades
  • A boat trip to the small islands off the coast

Good to know

  • About an hour from the town.
  • Late afternoon is the best time, for the light.
