Holiday destinations related to Sidari:

By bus: You can easily reach resorts along the coast like Corfu Town and Kassiopi, by bus. It’s a cheap and efficient way to get around, with an hourly service.

By taxi: Taxis can be a good option for airport transfers, or if you need to get home after a late night at a club. You can pick one up at the airport or book in advance (it can be cheaper to do it this way). You’ll also see them running around the resort, so just flag one down if you need one. However, check the fare before you get in, and make sure your taxi is a licenced operator.

By car: If you want the freedom to explore the island at leisure, hiring a car is your best bet. With Sidari as your base, you’ll have unlimited day trip possibilities. How about the ancient villages of Peroulades and Avilotes?  

Carnival: In February and March, Carnival comes to Corfu. The main celebrations take place over in Corfu Town (24km away), complete with parades, live music, Greek wine and a party atmosphere. Wherever you are on the island, you’ll spot locals dressing up and getting into the Carnival spirit.

Wine festival: Half an hour’s drive from the resort is the seaside town of Kassiopi, home of an annual wine festival. Locals and travellers flock here from all over the island to sample the fruits of Corfu. As well as plenty of regional wine, you can expect Greek dancing, live music and delicious food. It’s a great way to find out more about the real Corfu culture on your Sidari holidays.
