Sidari

we have been going for 5 years now my youngest was only 6 months and never had a problem plus my husband is T Total but we always manage to enjoy ourselves

alison

Second what alison said. (part from 5 year bit. only 2 for me) But i walked home alone at 4 in the morning and never encountered any trouble. I walked up a dirt track that was really dark and never had any trouble. Its a really safe place. You don't have any worries about that.

I went to Corfu last July and my daughter (who's 12) loved it so much we are going again this May, I have to bring her friend with us (she's 11), this time we are going to Sidari and I kbnow very little about it,so please if anyone with young kids (11 & 12) have stayed at the Yiannis Studio's there in Sidari I would be gratful for some possitive or not so possitive comments from people who have stayed there. please e mail me with your comments and suggestions on the area : piket56@hotmail.com

you should have no trouble at all we have been going for 5 years and dont think we have ever seen any trouble

alison

Im booked to go in June and just wondered if the streets are safe to walk at night as I've had trouble previously in Magaluf and Ibiza. Also, is there any good Spanish restaurants?

I just wanted to reply to the query from Angela who was enquiring about apartments with baths for her friend. Sorry I don't know any apartments, but your friend could buy a really inexpensive inflatable bath from Mothercare. We found ours invaluable and took it on all our holidays until the kids were about 3. Hope that's useful. Regards, Sue

hiya every1  at cylpso hi to matty,ollie,liam,jonny n jason.Sidari has got to be the best holiday i had i went with my mate laura and we loved everything bout it the beaches the weather and the bars!

well, Mandy...!!! the beach was good as im sure anyone staying at a hotel next to the beach probably wouldnt agree as you probably woke them up at about five in the morning! (screamer!!)

Hotel Mimosa was brillaint! As everyone will say stellios is great!!! the reps are really nice. We ended up spending most of our time in Calypso (although im surprised that we never got chucked out due to the nudity!) we made loadsa friends out there and Oliie has just been up to Bonnie Scotland to visit us for the weekend (his scottish accent is RUBBISH!!he told me he loves me but hes just a mincer!)and were going to see him and Scott another club rep after christmas along with Justin who was staying the same time we were. So if you meet anyone out there its worthwhile keeping in touch!!

i thorougly enjoyed the whole atmosphere and friendliness that the locals showed in sidari. i went with my mum dad sister bro and my son who was nearly 2. they love children over there, we couldnt walk past the shops without the workers calling hello. i must admit that if u walked past mcdonalds, well just before mcdonalds then thats were i felt sidari was poor. it didnt help that there was a man standing outside mcdonalds with a flea ridden donkey. not many shops but plenty of bars and resteraunts. we went in september and the weather was fairly reasonable, we could still go and sunbathe at the beach or go swimming in the pool. the apartments themselves were excellent (sidari village) clean and spacious. will definetly be going back next year. i would also suggest if you were staying at the sidari village u take a torch as there was a power failure and we were stuck in the middle of the road between the apartments and the main strip

I love Sidari, been there 4 times and going again next May. for people that don't like it then I'm sorry but that's your problem. Half of you haven't even gave it a chance!

Vivky pollards in bikIns? ermm spent the season there and just have to say never saw a single girl in bikinis PRing on the main strip.

oh and sue harper, if you want the typically greek, go to kassiopi, full of character, great friendly locals and a brilliant nightlife for all generations!!!!

We stayed in the Blue Sky appartments and were overjoyed by the occasion. Just as we thought our trip couldnt get any better we were thrilled to learn that Living TV's physcic Derek Acora was staying there. We became friends and shared many laughs during the trip. He is not a liar which I had always suspected as he Predicted I would get a cold this winter and last week I did! He also predicted I would be ill on the trip and after a heavy sambuca session with Derek, I was. Sidari is the greatest!!! Look out for celebs too!!

We had a lovely time in Sidari, though I have to say it wasn't quite what I had imagined.  It was our first time in Greece and we were a little disappointed with some of the bars and restaurants as they seemed too comercial and "British".  We will try somewhere else next time as we would like to find somewhere typically Greek.

sidari was a great place for kids i,ll definetily be going back next year with my son

Ditto what Claire says , Sidari is a magical place to be.  All the Greeks are marvellous people more than I can say for some back home in England, they are generous, appreciative, informative to mention but a few.  If you do not like Corfu then what a shame there are plenty of quieter resorts on the Island, Kavos is an entity all to itself.  There are some good sandy beaches in Sidari (you will have to walk to find it, where would you think it was, down the road??).

I made some great friends at the Bolero Bar in Sidari and looking forward to returning to see Matthew, Sam and George.

Sidari is fantastic, i love the place so much so that i have worked the summer. And could i just add that i also have tattoos, but my head is full of hair and i don't actually like larger.So there you go.

If Sidari is not careful it will be turning into the new KAVOS of Corfu. Did not like Sidari centre too much. Too many people pestering you to have a drink in there bars or eat in there resturants.  The place to be is the Canal D'Amour area, which does have some quality bars and resturants and no pushy people trying to get you in them. Overall i would reccommend this area of Sidari to families or couples who prefer the more relaxed atmosphere of the greek way of life. 

I am really offended by your comment we have been going to Sidari for the past 5 years I have  tattoos ,but dont drink larger my husband is T total my children dont scream .My parents have been going for the last 8 years and are now in there 70's

EKTOR IS A BIT OUT THE WAY GOOD WALK FROM THE MAIN TOWN 

Sidari Village, Corfu fab place to go i went there with the parents!had an excellent time loadsa nice people and the sights were ace! all the people at sidari village i love you all, see ya soon

We stayed at the theodosia apartments in Sidari in Sept 2005. The apartments looked lovely from the outside and the complex was very nice, but the cleanleness leaves something to be desired. We had the towels changed just once in the week that we were there, and the sheets were not changed the whole week. we also had to buy our own toilet rolls as there was half a roll there. But like i said the complex and where it was situated was brilliant and the people were great too

I went to Sidari last year with my best friend it was great. The sun shone and our appartments were great. We had a cat who spent the whole day laying on a lilo and then tried to get in our appartment at night. Unfortuntley the cat disapeared and I think the gardener had a little something to do with that. My only warning would be watch the maids they can be very light fingered and we spoke to several people who said that if your mobile phone was on show they would use it and I know our maid tried on our clothes and our perfume. Sidari beach is great and the places to eat and drink are very good. There is a restaurant that has got ducks swimming on a stream out the front of it and thats a really good one. The coach journey from the airport is quite long and not for the faint hearted at one point the side of the bus was looking directly over a 200 foot plus sheer drop. many people ended up being sick because its so twisty and turney but the views are spectacular

Please can anybody tell me if I can hire a saftey deposit box anywhere in Sidari - we are staying in the Stamatis Apartments and they don't have any - can I hire one in a supermarket or anywhere else?

To Lousie Jay, you could not ask for better apartments than the stema,we stay there regularly. Costa and Spiros are the bar men, dont be alarmed by costas becauase even though hes greek he speaks perfect english with an ozzie accent! Nicky and Nikos own the apartments. They are a 5 minute walk to the bars,Ive been to Sidari and seen other appartments but nothing will beat the stema.Have a great holiday. Tell them Natalia says Hi!!

Thanks Chris, much appreciated.  Can't wait now, only three days left in work!!!

and how much is the beer?

where is the best place to stay in Sidari

Hi Lou,

Hi All

What is Sidari like for couples?  Me and my boyfriend are going next Friday (9th September).  We like bars and clubs but don't want to stick out like a sore thumb if its full of singles!

Yeah Sidari is alright if your into clubbing with minors wearing nike tracksuits and dancing like they have parkinsons.  Sometimes, after several highly toxic cocktails, I would do my own dance comprising of a forward and backwards leaning motion whilst projecting highly offensive used pizza topping type mixture from my mouth.  Still, had a good time and would definately go back for more.

The Chav element is a disgrace but the Female Vomiting competitions in Ceasers are quite good. Only pulled twice but after finding out one of them was 14 I had to spend the last week hiding from her dad who was built like a Jumbo Jet on steroids! in all, very enjoyable

CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE ARE MANY CASH MACHINES IN SIDARI PLEASE AS I LIKE TO DRAW MY MONEY OUT AS I WANT IT.

To Jeannette Mooney - Many thanks for your comment.  It has made me feel a lot better as I have had no information on the hotel and was starting to worry!!  Half an hour walk seems drastic, but I'm sure we will cope in that lovely heat - can't wait!!  Thanks again, Claire

I love the Greek Islands but I have to say this is my least favourite so far! There is no hiding the fact that Sidari is a resort for tourists. (We chose it to keep our son entertained which it did) The streets are narrow and choked with traffic. The food is average at best but reasonably priced. The people aren't that friendly. The thing we found most shocking were the tacky gift shops stocky hardcore porn video's and DVD's. I have to say that is the first time I have seen this. Still at least the sun shone. If you want a peaceful hol go elsewhere.

leavin for sidari on 29 sep, i cant wait it sounds mental, anyone else goin the same time that wants to meet up let us know

is there any bars in sidai that play abit of rock music ?????

 heya all well i went to sidari on 1st august 05 and came back on 16th august 05 me and my family all had a brilliant time we stayed in the marias appartments and i must say it is brilliant its very clean and the staff are all very friendly and helpful me and my sister loved it there and we really really miss it but hopefully we are going to go back next year because we all loved it so much and in our appartement we had a nice swimming pool which is a reasonable size and also you only have to step over the wall and your on the beach.!!!!

i must say that the holiday was the bestest holiday ive ever had and there are some really good bars and restaurants around my favourite has got to be the three little pigs and also b.e.d (there are some fit waiters in b.e.d bar) lol! also there are quite a few trips to go on when your there for instance there are quite alot of water sports i hired a pedlo for an hour and went around the canal d' amour and i was so fascinated also you can do scuba diving and go to corfu town and also aqua land and many more. we didnt go on no trips becasue we just enjoyed lying by the pool and enjoying the most of the sun but for people who do enjoy going on day trips and that then you will love sidari !!

any ways i gota go just fort i would tell any of you lot who want to no wot sidari is like some info and if any of you are staying in marias appartement then if you would like to know what it is like then you can contact me on juicy_jamie1990@hotmail.com and i will tell you more about it if you like thanks luv jamie xxx

got back form sidari on 8th august, and i must say both myself and my now fiancee (got engaged owt there on top of the mountain!!) had the most fantastic time, sidari is ace am planning on going ban in the future. the beach is rreally nice lodsa watersports i did the paragliging, and wanted to have a go on the flyfish as it looked ace, but i ran owta money lol. by far the best thing that i did tho woz the scuba diving, booked everything thro philip at vlasseros travel on the main street, excellent prices an had a brilliant time, went on the greek night on the thurs ant it woz a really gud nite!! and plenty of free wine lol. we stayed in the alexis pool apartment just up the little road from mc donalds on the other side of the car park and it woz really nice ,not too buisy or nething, always got sunloungers round the pool and on the beach. as for whoever says about the smell i didnt smell nething other that around the canal (stinky bridge) but it wernt that bad, and the road aint all that buisy to be honest wot do you expect for a main road that is a 1 way system, so all in all we had a truly brilliant holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never before have i been so entertained as the time I went to the resort of sidari and competed in the islands annual breakdancing competition.  This years competition was fiercely competitive as those taking part were pushing and shoving each other for floor space in the 'Bar Calypso' and knocking drinks flying.  Once the competition had started and the music was pumping i stepped up to face my opponent 'Disco Dave' in a one on one face off dance.  I clicked my fingers and Boney M's 'Ra Ra Rusputin' kicked in and i promptly started to do my russion break dance. With folded arms i spun like a record and done the moonwalk as everyone cheered me on clapping and shouting my name and for 2 minutes i was in dreamland.  As my routine came to an end i felt i had done everything right to be crowned corfu breakdancing champion at my first attempt but then, as i ran across the floor and was about to do the floating caterpill i slipped on a shimmering snow like substance and crashed to the floor breaking my new bifocal glasses i got free at specsavers.  It turns out someone in there desperation to win had poured salt all over the dance floor making it like an ice rink to us breakdancers.  Naming no names but 'Disco Dave' was the only entry not to have had a problem and reports suggest he had placed double sided sticky tape to the undersoles of his moccasins to help keep him steady.  Needless to say i came second and 'Dirty Disco Dave' came first.  Alsa. it was not to be but i tell thee now - I shall return, oh yes, i shall return.

we spent 2weeks of july in sidari and done loads of stuff like paragliding, pedlos, jet skis and traditional greek dancing.  my wife wasnt too impressed when after every meal i smashed my plate against the nearest wall but, then again niether were the restaurant owners.  puked my guts up on raki and humas and also kicked a stray dog which looked at me menacingly as i walked back to the cockandsillya**e apartments. 

i managed to lose the wife and kids one evening and decided to check out the nightlife.  after getting off with a 17yr old from essex we strolled on to the beach and under the cover of darkness, as i prepared for penetration her fatherly figure by way of her huge step dad called ‘bulldog terry’ appeared and gave me a good thrashing with an empty coconut shell. 

all in all a very good place to visit. 

Has anyone stayed at the Corfu Andromeda Apartments in Sidari?  We are going at the end of August but cannot find any information on it.  It is supposed to be 3* and newly built.  Thanks, Claire

Ok, lt me begin by saying that Sidari is a nice place to visit but does not have many bars.  you can do the entire clubbing scene in just one night but its not too bad.  well, i say not too bad but it is very repetitive. The girls out here all seem to be about 17yrs old and with there family.  so when you meet them in a club remember that the girl your touching up has only been let out by there mum and dad for a couple of hours and probably has to report back to the hotel at some early point in the evening. 

I have been to Sidari before and loved it.  Me and my sister spent most of our nights in the Oh La La Bar, it was our favourite bar, but i have heard it has closed down from a comment i read on this site!! Damn!

  Me and my mate Jenny are going again this year on 5th Sep for 2 weeks.....is anyone else going at this time??  Does anyone know if it is still hot mid september?

i went sidari in july its waz quality! the people were friendly an the bars and clubs were f**kin greatttttt i loved it would deffo go bk but not for a while!! need sum where with more clubs roll on summer 2006. any1 goin to sidari u will love it wot eva age ya are o jus go for it!!!! i miss it soo much

What do you mean by 'they all got bomb out now'?  they been sacked or something?

To anyone who has been to Bed Bar....what's your thoughts on the staff??!!

To anybody worried about the people outside the bars trying to get you to go in,dont cus they all got bomb out on sunday.the main street is now a nice place to walk again.

mojo is the best bar leather u r a star nikos ur kool haris ur a wiked laff and billy boy da best dj in corfu propa goodlaffwit ya

Hi Nic

Hi there. Went 2 Sidari in July 2005, with my girlfriend & our friends. Stayed at the Takis apartments which where gr8, relaxed atmosphere & really friendly (only 2 minutes from the main strip).

Best meals I had where at the 'Three Little Pigs' and 'Panchos' Villa', but the food in general is top notch,  (try the fast foood place the locals eat at). The main strip is full of bars, but the best we found where Faros, Lemon Bar and Shakers.

If you ar lookin for something else there is Sidari water park which is a nice walk from the main strip, and also a go-karting circuit beside the garage.

Went 2 Aqualand & Crofu town, didn't really rate Crofu town but Aqualand was good. (Don't book these excursions from your reps as you can find much cheaper deals down the strip i.e. the bowling alley).

Other than that I would recommend sidari, but try & find accom. near the centre, as a trip there from the outskirts isn't comfy or cheap.

Alan Moffat (Glasgow).

Sidari itself is a great place, If you are considering a hotel without a pool you dont have to worry because the place is full of pool bars where you can use the pool free of charge.  Sidari's ugly head turns up in the evening, Its such a lovely place but its spoilt by persons employed by the local bars standing outside trying to get your custom, it felt like Costa Sidari! Walking through the main road in 200meters I was hassled no less than 11 times! We visited Roda and Paleokastrika in the evening and these towns were not plagued by this so If you dont like this sort of thing I should try one of them instead.

We enjoyed our holiday (came home on 1st August) but that was down to our excellent accomodation (Olive Grove), small beach near the apartments, reasonably priced good food, the weather and the wonderful Greek people.  Sidari itself was a great disappointment, this being our 6th time in Greece so we have plenty to compare it with.  Sidari doesn't even smell like Greece as we know it.  Dumpsters at the roadsides not emptied frequently enough so bags of rubbish accumulate at the side causing litter and smells, lots of litter on the streets, ditches full of stagnant green smelly water at the roadside, main beach water full of rubbish, not the crystal clear waters we have become used to  We had never before seen grafiti in Greece.  The last island we visited was Kos which I must say is a credit to the country, so come on whoever is responsible for this town, it needs some TLC. I would like to return to Corfu but will give Sidari a miss.

just been readin comments- the food in sidari is ace, the nite life good and that smell every1 on about??? i never noticed it. sidari is ace- n as ne1 shud no the greeks just aint perfect at hygene, but they are the most friendlyest people iv ever met.

we loved it!!!!! 2 young lasses, had an ace time 25th till 2nd aug, fave bar was b.e.d!!! cheep n v.v.v friendly will b goin bak nxt yr 4 defo!!!

I`m wondering if anyone can enlighten me on Sidari and the nightlife in late september ... a freind and I are hoping for a week away ... we want somewhere with busy bars but not crowded with 18 to 30 age range!! ... Also wots the temp in late september?? many thanks :0)

Sidari is wiked m8 brill nightlife, brill during the days, good restaurants, good bars and clubs whats not to like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a fantastic time i had in the wonderful Sidri resort.  Being 37yrs old and slightly balding i was quite unsure of what to expect but i was welcomed with open arms by everyone from the kebab seller to the market trader to the man who cleans the beaches each morning.  I loved the clubs and the bars especially 'FaniFartz' the German bar just off the main bar street.  i did see one scuffle outside a kebab house involving a man from kent a scotsman and a bottle of tomato ketchup but it was quickly dispersed after the intervention of a midget greek man.  would definately go back and i may even drink alcohol next time to enhance the mood and join in the jovial spirit of all who go to sidari.

 Really enjoyed my time in Sidari, the best Resort if you want everything nearby, I stayed at Garnavos Apartments next to the Hotel Paradise, you have a McDonald's in Sidari which is open until really late.  Then there are the places to go at night, I can recommend;

 

 Bolero Bar, the best by far, extremely good value for money on food and drink, large lager 3.00 euro's, cocktails (try Sex on the Beach or Orgasm ones) or Sexy Sammy's favourite 4.00 euro's, staff are the best, Sexy Sammy and Gorgeous George what can I say about them, absolutely wicked pair of blokes.  Matthew the owner is best around (shame we do not have people like this back here in UK). Brian DJ is the best around.  Will be going back next year.

 

Premier Bar, good cocktails, music could be better.

 

Calypso Bar, great for those single ladies out there if you like the Greeks

 

Caesars Nightclub, best around, dancing till 6:00am, wicked cocktails also.     

 

Szechuan Chinese near 3 Little Pigs Bar on main Sidari Road, excellent value, food quality like we have back home.

 

Really  to have left Corfu, like most could've stayed there for ever!

 

Hope these help some of you out there, any queries you can email me on laura@needham1979.freeserve.co.uk

 

Love

Laura xx

 

has anyone stayed at the joanna apartments? think its between sidari and melitsa, what are the restrants and nightlife like? going there in sept would appreciate any info thanx

Hi Suzanne

This place was great.  At home Im just an ordinary Joe wth no money to my name but on holiday in Sidari I was what you may call the Master of Ceremonies.  You could find me MC'ing the night away into my invisible mic and prancing around Calypso dressed from head to toe in a fake white adidas under the pulsating strobe lights.  Man, i was wickedy wicked to the max!!!!!  I know i could only afford 1 drink which had to last all night but thats all anyone under 22 could afford, i mean, do you know how much fake Gucci sunglasses cost? 8 euros, and thats a lot for 17old chav from essex.

ITS THE BEST PLACE WEVE EVER BEEN THE PROBLEM IS IM TRYING TO BOOK ONLINE FOR NEXT YEAR AND CANT FIND IT ON THE WEBSITES ITS ECTOR APPARTMENTS

I am about to book apartments at "Marie". On this site, I only found "Maria" and "Mary". Is this one of these? And if so, which? Second question: is this close to the center (for nightlife). Thanx in advance.

Does anyone one know if the food and drinks are cheap in corfu

Bolero Bar is the best around, Gorgeous George and Sexy Sam are best bar staff by miles, great cocktails too.  DJ Brian excellent with choice's of music played, not to mention the pole dancing to get a free shot or cocktail (provided you can dance the whole song).

Caesars also worth a night out, plenty of men around for those single ladies...!!!

i am going to sidari on th 5th of august and i so cant wait it will be brill i will tell you all about it when i get back! luv charxxxxxxx

just returned from joylife apartments,our studio was very large and well equiped,cleaned every other day,the pool and bar/resturant were also good,the downside is the location,they say 20min stroll to main beach/centre,more like 30mins at a good pace,i worked it out to be 1.8miles,and to fork out 10 euros there and back would have cost £100 over my two week stay,so i made her indoors walk it!!we still enjoyed ourselfs,and when we left on the 15th of july thay had just repaired the sewer pipe at main beach,so no more leakage/stink.in all a good holiday,oh and corfu airport departure is anarchy,they x-ray your suit cases prior to check in,our dept time was 02.50 and we were still queing at 02.30 to check in,all flights had seperate ques that entered one door,and no priority was given to the timeof your dept flight.so we were delayed due to check in delays.sorry to waffle but there system is total s**t.

i am going to sidari in august staying at elena apartments & studios these are a 30 min stroll from the centre. has any one got any info, i,ve read some very contadicting reports,,,

i have to say i had one of the best times of my life in sidari!  it was fabuloso!! we stayed( me and 3 girl friends all aged 18) in the dinos appts. which are one of the best! staphos (dinos manager) or howeva u say it/spell it, is one of the nicest guys around in corfu aswel as all the barmen (theo, billy, staphos, costas,dom and diana) and dj (rob) in theo and billys bar opposite dinos appt.all were very friendly and made you feel like part of the family! they also make realy gud cocktails!! worth visting. the beaches were ok and the day trips are gud esp. the one with the beach bbq and the water park!  the shops are ok mainly touristy ones and the eating out is good and very reasonable! the nightlife is ok but we did find we got hastled by pr guys( who were very nice) but slightly annoying.but overall a very worthy holiday resort which we are planning to come back to!

p.s rob/dom or any of u in theo and billys- were c*min back to cu guys next year!! whooo!!   

Sidari this time round was a disappointment for us who had been here before a couple of years earlier, it has become more commercialised like a Blackpool type resort with the people to match! We had PR's trying to pull us into bars every evening which we were not impressed with. Overall  we enjoyed our holiday as much as we could but will not be returning to Sidari in the near future it is going downhill rapidly!!

wow wee what a time ive had in sidari!!!  if it wasnt my mate having cocktails poured down his neck from a waiter standing on the bar whilst dancing to the sounds of the wickedness then it was me downing a cocktail called billychuff by the bucket loads and screaming my head off to the cheers of the screaming crowds in shakers.  man, it was wicked. dont know what our room was like cos us northern lads are mad and we were stoned out of our faces when we arrived and got spent most nights with the birds on the beach swimming in the chuff and all dat!  i got wicked gold chain from a bloke on the beach stall for 10euros, a bit steep but he threw in a charm bracelet for me mate aswell so cant complain.  restaurants were s**te but the maccy d's was spot on as usuall.  can anyone remember that bloke puking up that bike outside of cactus jacks ? that were me and terry ha ha ha ha !!

We Stayed at Joylife this year they are basic just like most accomadtion we loved them but some people dont they are about 20 -30 mins from main Sidari a taxi costs about 5 euros each way

Hello,

after reading all the comments i am really lookin forward to be goin on the 29th aug , does anyone know what the joy life appartments are like?  if anyone goin at the same time wants to meet up for a drink let us know.

hello, just returned from sidari and was delighted!!! the g*y seen is tremendous and very very friendly. greek resorts are popular with gays as the greeks have an open mind regarding sodomy while other nations still see it as a taboo subject. billies is very popular with g*y coulples/singles but i was shocked to see...well....lets just say, it definitly wasnt a c*mberland in that fellas mouth by the gents toilet!!! above all though had a great time but have to add advoid mcdonalds at all costs!!!!! or risk severe gutrot.... i think sidari's sewage system workers clocked in a few hours of overtime that week!!!

is n e 1 here gng 2 sidari?? or know n e fin bout the bed bar next 2 faros??? email me on randomperson4_is_ded@hotmail.com or add me 2 ur msn. holly x

Visited Sidari on the 1st july. The weather was beautiful. Had heard bad reports about Corfu airport but I had no problem getting straight through. It is about an hours ride in a taxi from the airport to Sidari and this cost 40 Euros. Be careful to arrange a price with the driver before getting in the taxi, it is easy to get ripped off.

Just got back from 2 weeks in Sidari and frankly we cant understand the negative comments. We travelled around a bit and thought the sandy beach was one of the best on the island. Good selection of food with some excellent value for money at Cactus Jacks & Three Little Pigs.  PRs were presents but not too pushy and everyone was very friendly. Great place.

Hello everyone. me and 3 friends went to sidari for a week starting the 17th june. i have to say that it wasnt as good as id hoped. we stayed in elena apartments which is further than they tell you, we got taxis into town when going out at night. as for a huge homosexual scene, my friends and i never seen anything like it and was quite disappointed (1 friend in particular). the night life wasnt very good, we went to ceasers every night cause that was the only real option. we wnt to theo and billys which was great fun, Rob the Dj is a great guy, makes you feel very welcome (if your reading rob u got beat by a Scottish Girl, hahahaha). we found every1 really nice including the PRs. they were the only people you cld talk to cause its all couples and families. lots of stray dogs also 1 dead dog which is the most disgusting smell you will ever experience on the walk from the elena apartments to town. we didnt have many probs with mossies but i think thats cause we bought Raid Xtra - i strongly recommend this, after killing a few beasties on the balcony anything that comes close wil automatically drop dead which saves you having big red bites all over you! if you and your friends can have fun anywhere you go then you wont have a problem. we had fun but i wont be returning.

we loved shakers bar we started of there every nite!!! the dj luks like micheal owen lol the bar men are fun n the prs chloe, luke n ben are really nice bt luke fancys him self jst a littel bit but this bar is really gud on a sturday nite see u all nx season!!!!!!!!!!!! pria n laura xx

We stayed in sidari for 2 weeks in may, this was our first time to greece and will be definetly going back there. We stayed in the dinos apartments, this was a great location close to everything. the highlight of our holiday was Theo and Billy's bar, this is a great karaoke bar, and the Dj, Rob is a top bloke. He became a good friend with us while we were there, and he's not a bad pool player either(lol). Every 1 at this bar was very friendly and a night there should not be missed!

cant say i have ever seen any homosexuals in sidari, however nobody is homophobic and would take no notice. its a great place and im sure you will enjoy it

hiya!! im travelling to sidari on the 14thjuly with my partner. i've heard that the resort is very popular with the homosexual community and we just wondered what bars/clubs would suit our needs!!! many friends of ours frequently visit sidari and they say they feel comfortable and and lack of prejudice helps to achieve this so if any g*y couples/singles visiting at this time that could help us or would like to meet, give us a shout!!!

we just got back from  sidari yesterday after two weeks. and can honestly say it was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we stayed at elena apartments on the outskirts of sidari and apart from the 20 min walk to the centre it was brilliant, it was run by george who was luvly very friendly and always had us laughing, couldn't do enough to help eveyone.the pool was gorgeous and because the beach was so far away we culdnt be bothered to walk it we only went to the beach once. sidari has a great charm about it the locals are friendly and always saying yassou to u (greek for hello). to those who are going i would be careful when ordering food because they do get confused as english isn't  best spoken there or understood.

the restaurants we went in were three little pigs which was great and good value for money the waiters were very friendly and food was served hot!.also tex mex in the centre of sidari called panchos villa is also great.

apart from that sidari is fab lots to do and loads of places to eat even the plane journeys went smoothly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!x well done sidari

 Went to Sidari in June 05 and had a fab time. The beaches do have a sewage smell to them but thats only due to the canels (Venice smells no different and nobody complains about that!). The sea is lovely and clear and the beach is sandy, not shingle. Dont pay for sun loungers, go to ones owned by bars and if you buy one or two drinks you can stay on them for free all day.

For the best bars head to premier bar, great music, great (strong!) cocktails and friendly hosts. The three little pigs does a great Greek night, they set the floor alight all around the tables and do some impressive dancing. For great food head to B.E.D, its done out really posh with lovely views over the beach and Albania. The menu looks suspiciously like a photocopy of TGI Fridays and the food is just as good and still very cheap. Try the take me to b.e.d cocktails for desserts, yum. Avoid all chinese restaurants at all costs, yuk! I also would not recommend the mint club, do not be fooled by its exterior, its a dive!

If you fancy lounging about in the day head to the canel d'amour village. Two lovely pools surrounded by well kept grass and lovely views. They serve a great breakfast all day and the hosts are very friendly.

We went as a 22 and 23 year old couple who like to go out all night some nights but also like a quiet one and Sidari had it all. We had a great holiday and would recommed it to all age groups.

PS do not bother with the Sidari water park, its rubbish!

 just arrived home from having the best two weeks holiday, we stayed at the aphrodite studios which are basic but just big enough, very clean, and the maid came in every day and had clean towels every other day. had a lovely pool and bar run by george. the studios are situated right on the beach front, and in the middle of all the shops and bars. if you want a good sized meal try one of the following- the rose garden, the roof garden, or the red lion they are all english run by darren and leighan and good value for money. the red lion is also a show bar and  is definatly worth a visit or two!!!! but you must have an open mind and not offended easily as stevie spit there resident drag queen will rip the p**s out of each and everybody but in a caring way ha ha!! thanks to everyone at the roof garden and the red lion for a great two weeks hope to see you all very soon luv lisa and marie xx

I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM SIDARI AND HAVE TO SAY IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT BUT I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WHICH NEEDS TO BE SHARED.  I NOTICED THERE IS AN INCREASING LOCAL YOB CULTURE IN THE TOWN CENTER WHICH TO MY DISMAY, I DISCOVERED AFTER FOOLISHLY ENTERING "UNCLE ROB'S TURKISH BAR & GRILL". I THOUGHT THIS TO BE A DELIGHTFUL ESTABLISHMENT FROM THE OUTSIDE BUT UPON ENTERING DISCOVERED SCENES WHICH I CAN ONLY DISCRIBE AS A CROSS BETWEEN DUSK TIL DAWN AND SCARFACE! I WAS IMEDIETLY RIDICULED FOR MY CHOICE OF FOOTWEAR FOR THAT EVENING WHICH HAPPENED TO BE A RATHER TRENDY PAIR OF BEIGE CAMEL SKIN HUSH PUPPIES AND AFTER VENTING MY DISPROVAL WAS SURROUNDED BY A PACK OF ANGRY GREEK TEENAGERS. IN MY HASTE TO ESCAPE I SLIPPED ON A FRESH PUDDLE OF VOMIT WHICH I SUSPECT HAD BEEN EMETED FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE A DRUNKEN "LADY OF THE NIGHT". WHEN I FINALLY ESCAPED THIS HELL HOLE I RELISED MY GREEN CHINO'S HAD NOW BECOME YELLOW DUE TO THE LADIES RECYCLED MOUSAKA AND OUZO LUNCH. I RECOMMEND ALL RESPECTABLE CITIZENS ADVOID THIS PLACE.

Returned on the 27th after a week at the Laggon apts which were fantastic to say the least, The place it's self great lots to do to suit all taste's, Best place to eat by a mile is Cactus Jacks the food was amazing and you get plenty of it, If your going on any trips book thou value plus next to the bowling alley Aqua land on a wed or sat is only 19 euros inc bus transfer, First choice wanted 35 euros There is a bit of a smell but you only get a wif now and again and it's not as bad as people make out, The weather at the min is about 102 we got prper burnt so be carefull. Hope you all enjoy it like we did.

im sorry but i have 2 say this place[sidari] is not what its cracked up 2 be.we can start with the fowl stench that hovers about the place which is truly awful. then there is the food and i can honestly say  that the best place i dined at was the mcdonalds in the town centre[need i say more?] the bars and clubs were poor at best and the locals werent the most accommodating of folk.[quite rude actually] then we move on 2 the water park which is great. great that is until i rather stupidly decided 2 board the kamakazi. i basically fell off the slide while in mid flight and came crashing down on 2 the hard concrete.as a result i ended up with broken leg and pelvis. i rather foolishly didnt get insurance before i arrived and have since had 2 re morgage the house 2 cover the medical costs. i can say with my hand on heart i wont be holidaying abroad again but can announce i have booked a short break a bit closer 2 home in leysdown[isle of sheppey] which my cockney friends highly reccommend.    hope you enjoy your stay! xxx

I will be going to Corfu on Junly 15th and I will be staying in Sidari, I am really looking forward to it.  I have heard that there are many things to do in Sidari including an evening of plate smashin at a traditional restuarant.  I have a few fears on the health and safety grounds of this practice and was wondering what precautions if any I should take if I do decide to participate in the ancient ritual of the greeks.  Im not against the values of the traditional cutlery facade but this does seem to give the impression that the Greeks can be quite violent and may, once in full ceremonial flow, get carried away and accidently injure someone.  I was thinking of wearing a hat of the panama type so as I could stuff the crown of the hat with a soft like material such as polystyrene which would cusion a blow from the top and the wide brim of the hat would offer sufficient clearway to deflect any small glass debris from entering the eye area.  Failing to come up with a solution would mean I may have to miss the evening all together and therefore never experience the Greek custom of the crockery breaking fury fest. 

i decided on a trip to corfu after seeing an article in the times gaurdian which featured busty young maidens wallowing about in skimpy bikinis on a sun soaked beach.  this was the holiday i had been looking for since the day i got it massively wrong and decided to spend a summer in bognor painting seashells which were to be sold on a stall just off of the south pier.  on arrival at the 'cocsillious apartments' i dropped my bags and headed into town looking for a nice pint of greeces finest beer.  i ordered what looked like a popular drink with the locals named efes, and after waiting a minute or two for it to pour i put the chilled jug to my mouth to be met with the distinct smell of rotten eggs.  fox p**s i can stand but this was a step too far. i got my bags from the apartments and went to the airport where i got a flight striaght back home.

Just got back from Sidari and it really is a great place to visit.  I wandered the streets on a regular basis looking for a place to eat of a evening and was inundated with proposals of a decent meal from the proprietors of various establishments all of which provided an adequae service which was so sublime my posh liitle balls felt like exploding with love for the island of Corfu.  After dinner I went disco dancin at a different place each night.  One particular place I chose to throw some shapes was 'Cockhoppers'. Although this placed seemed to be more male dominated than most they seemed freindly enough in their cowboy and sailor outfits and to be honest they kept buying me drinks.  This place also had a chillout area with beds and various sensual oils to help you relax after a hard night dancing to Frankie Goes To Hollywood (felt like this was on repeat).  The beaches were ok but smelt of human excreament in some isolated areas.  I preffered to use the private pool at our apartment but for the poorer families who cant afford to stay at a place with a pool I suggest buying a lilo to make swimming around any floaters in the sea that bit easier.

We have just got back after 2 weeks in Sidari staying in the Dyonnisis apts. They were really nice. When we first arrived in the early hours we were horrified. The rooms were very basic and when we got on the balcony to see what what was going on - it looked dead. We were only on the balcony for 5 mins and my hubby was bitten twice by mosquitoes - lucky for him we took some anithistamine tablets with us to stop the itching - so make sure you take some with you. We have never seen so many people with such huge bites - they were awful. The beaches were filthy and stank as raw sewage ran onto the beach. We wouldn't dream of paddling in the water or lying on the beach - it would be a real health hazard. Over the next couple of days when the sun was shining the beach didnt look so bad but it still smelt. We walked along the beach and found the Canal D'Amour Village resort and it was beautiful. We went there every day and it had a lovely pool area and lovely green grass and the staff were really nice. We ended up having a great holiday and the only thing which spoilt it for me was the poor stray dogs walking around -  bless them. They were lovely and friendly and just wanted to be loved and I used to break my heart after having a few drinks knowing I couldn't do anything to help them. They always got a bit of my burger. I also felt sorry for the poor old donkey that had to stand all day in the hot sun -  poor thing. Anyway have a great time when you get there as I am sure you will. The weather was red hot when we left as well 38 degrees and when we went to the Canal D'Amour we sat above the cliffs and the breeze used to cool us down. It was lovely!!!!!!

I have just returned from Sidari and it was fab. We stayed at the Anemona aparts and they were lovely, the only downside is the long track you have to walk down to get to the apartments.

Sidari was absolutely great.  You have two sides - obviously you have the quiet side or the lively side.  We went as a party of 7.  We had a 10 year old, a 23 month old and a 21 month old in the party with 4 adults.  Every bar has facilities for children with playareas and plenty of childrens menus.  Everybody was very accomodating and welcomed you politely.  All food was brilliant except for The Three Little Pigs and The 2 Brothers.  The beaches are great.  Shallow and warm.  We found two beaches which were brilliant for the kids and because they enjoyed it, it made it even better.  If you want a really good meal in the town, visit The Sea Breeze but if you want a quiet meal but good also, visit the Sweet Apple.  We visited the Sweet Apple the most.  Also visit Blenders on the quiet side of Sidari.  Dennis is very accomodating and has a small dog (I think it is a St Bernards) to keep the kids happy!!  We stayed at Loxides Apartments.  Everyone there also very nice and accomodating.

From the moment I stepped off the plane onto island and crouched down to collect the soil in the palm of my hand and smell the fragrance of Greece I knew I was going to love this beautifil place.  Upon arrival at Poppolis Apartments my thoughts of running through fields of flowers and swimming naked in a secluded pond at the apartments grounds were diminishing.  Poppolis Apartments looked bad, real bad.  The reception area looked like it had been taken straight out of a western after a bar fight between two rival cattle hustlers and the receptionist, none other than Mr Poppolis' wife, looked to have taken a right beating!  After swapping pleasentries with the elephant man I made my way to my room and swung open the door to find a very basic room full of 60's furniture and wallpaper, feeling quite nauseous I made my way to the balcony for some fresh air.  Breathing in a deep breath of fresh Corfu proved impossible over the rancid smell of decaying excreament which filtered through the afternoon air like mud from a tractor doing a permenent wheel spin. Hotel entertainment was of a local variety.  It mostly consisted of Mr Poppolis getting well and truly drunk on ouzo and shouting at his wife whiclst some local got his 'talking donkey' to read the alphabet.  Did the mule succeed? Who knows, it was all in Greek anyway.  Well that was the bad part of my stay in Sidari, the rest as it were, was fantastic. 

Hi everyone.  I'm Desmond and I will be in Sidari mid July.  I will be with a few friends of mine and we are gonna have a great time disco dancing an drinking pints! We will be staying at the Three Brothers and I personnaly cannot wait to loosen my sandles and paddle in the deep end of the pool with a large lemonade and a slice of lime.  Desperate for a break from my computer and drama studies as its been a long year of work work and yet more work!  Hope that it will be very sunny as I love the sun and getting an all over tan although not too much of a tan as I tend to get dry skin quickly and peel quite profusely.  One time in Benidorm I was peeling quite badly and was told that the pool had to be cleaned because my dead skin had blocked the vents of the pool.  I totally think that this was more down to the fact that they had hardly cleaned the pool in the 2 days I had been there.  But if it was the case then i am sorry to those who had to go without the pool for the 3 days whilst the filters were changed! I pretty sure that this wont be the case at The Three Brothers as I did get a little embarrasing particularly as the peeling on my back resembled a map of South America! 

WE ARE GOING TO KOUSAROUS APARTMENTS/STUDIOS IN SEPTEMBER CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE LIKE AND WHAT THE NIGHT LIFE IS LIKE IN SIDARI TA! LOL LOU X

Have to say agree with the previous comment about the beaches they have to be some of the worst I have seen. But can't say it smelt we were there from the 31st May for a week all the pubs and clubs were good and there is a better selection than what the previous comment tells you, the mosy's were abit on a nightmare for my girlfriend she was bitten quite allot. Take a trip to the west of the island the water and the beaches where fantastic!!!!

just got back from sidari food good ,dogs no problem,beach the worst ive seen ,eaten alive by mosquitos if you like bingo kareoke eastenders corrie and chips with everything youll like it ,it must be the worst place on the island every where else  i went was very nice,will never be going back again ,still scratching 2 days later,oh and the place stinks of crap the drains seem 2 run onto beach if you can call it a beach.

ELLA FILOS BEST PLACE IN CORFU!! COME AND SEE. ALWAYS CLEAN & FRIENDLEY. UPPAH

 We stayed at the Olive Grove Apartments (First Choice) in Sadari. We went at the end of May 2005 and the weather was lovely. The resort is really nice with great beaches, loads of restaurants & shops, a good nightlife with plenty to do. Olive Grove was a lovely place to stay - great accommodation, clean, spacious, well equipped, the pool and bar area were lovely and they made the nicest food and drink. Smiley Breakfast 3 euros - you cant beat it - great way to start the day. Yanni and Katerina are lovely people and they really do make your stay great. I do not have a bad word about any of the holiday - its only an hour transfer from the Airport. The Apartments are in a nice quite area with everything you need two seconds down the road. The main "Strip" is a 5-10min walk which really is nothing and the beach is a stone throw away.    

Hi

No problem Viki, am heading back out there in august anyway with 2 other workers so should be good!

Hi Vicki

i would say to take euro cheques. our cash points are not always in the best working order if working at all. if you do use cash points to withdraw money from a current a.c you need to choose savings on the atm machine but dont forget you will be charged at a bad exchange rate and another service charge. exchange rate is ok for travellers chqs but if you take euro it ony costs 1 euro per 50 euros

Thanks for advice Rhianne

You are much better off taking euros but you don't need to take loads as there are cash machines and in the Sidari Travel office opposite Premier Bar you can chage your money at a reasonable rate, there are quite a few other places to change money but I reccomend using this one cos Sidari Travel work with Thomson so you know they won't rip you off.

Sidari is ok for kids, but if you are close to the centre of town it will be noisy as the bars don't shut til late and most of the clubs (all 2 of them!) are open til about 6/7am. There is a small waterpark in Sidari, which is up near the Venezia Pizzaria and the Kohenoor Indian Restaurant, it's not big but ok if you don't want to travel to Aqualand. You can also hire mountain bikes for kids and adults and next to the Mimosa Hotal there is usually a bouncy castle and kids mini car racing course. also on the beach you have the usual stuff, pedalos, rubber ring, banana ride, volleyball etc the sunbeds on the beach opposite the Mimosa are 5 euros each and you have to pay for the umbrella but you do have them for the whole day, if you don't want to pay that you can sometimes find that the sunbeds outside the bars can be free..! It is a good resort and everyone is very friendly recommend getting a car for a couple of days and checking out the sights too, the Achilleon Palace is gorgeous!!

Hello

Hi

I did have a tattoo done while I was out there as did a few of the pr guys ( you know who you are!) they are expensive but well worth it and if you can't find a design you like they will design you one, but get it done on the last day of your hols or you can't sunbathe for the whole time you're there. Also you may have to book a day or time with them so make sure you give them some notice.

I worked in sidari all last summer and it was fantastic, sunset beach which was a bit of a trek but worth it, also the night life was fab, caesars all night long and foam parties on a thurs, fan-bloody-tastic!! would recommend to anyone esp if you don't want to go to kavos... hey to anyone who has gone back out will see you in aug as am coming back with stu and carlos!! x x

Have to agree a must is sunset beach but get there early

Good point Its Yannis Village the one with Tellis the crazy barman

Last year someone from our appartments had a tatto in sidari but he said they were expensive 

 

yes i had a tatoo done in sidari,its in the high street set back a little bit, you have to go up the stairs by the camera shop. its by the english hairdreesers, just becareful as you cannot expose them to the sun for 2 weeks. i live there so im not really bothered about the sun!!!!

we will jaccie.By the way, has anyone had a tattoo done in sidari, or can you recommend anyone?

    when you visit sidari please visit the canal d mor area sadly there is no beach left but the views are excellent also if you can make it visit sunset beach the sunset there is amazing

Yes I think any pub will show big brother just ask any bar owner and they will put it on

What information would you like? I can fimd out what they are like for you?

Don't worry you do flush the toilet the thing you dont do is put the toilet paper down the toilet and dont worry toilets dont smell,just a little tip I always take nappy sacks with us and put toilet paper in them

Alison

www.agni.gr

Hi, Pam my wife and i are visiting Corfu for the first time.We would like info on the Christina apartments in Sidari.We are both in our early fifties and would like to know a little bit more about the area. Thanks Jim Allen.

Hi Chris it is quite quiet compared to high season but by the 13th everywhere is open and you will be spoilt for choice for bars and restaurants.  If you go to Ceasars on a Friday or Saturday you will find it quite busy.  Hope you have a good one!

Angela 

I just found KANALI Apartments number.. Thanks Google, thanks girls also anyway. That is +30 26630 99401.

can get telephone number for you,will ask for it today and post it tommorrow. we would also reccomned stema 2 apartments

Looking for PHONE number of KANALI APARTMENS,SIDARI, Corfu. Having read numerous very positive reports, I tried to get in touch via their Website but have no answer after a week. I tried then to find their phone number - in vain.

chris, it will be busy when you go, the nightlife prbably isnt what you expect if you go to ibiza and places,but its really good. you must go to olympic for a meal around half eight,food is great and dancing is excellent. sidari is nocturnal!!Hope you enjoy youself.may see you when you come over

Thanks for the info Angela, most appreciated. I notice you're going out mid may too. We fly on the 13th, but I'm a bit worried the resort will be a bit dead with it being early on in the season. Will this be the case? Thanks, Chris.

Angela little ilis here who use to work in bolero bar.  Hope you are ok and every thing is going well with your greek boyfriend.  Am not comming back out to work this year but have booked a weeks holiday for 14th june so I hope to see you round legends pool for a gossip.  Just make sure you avoid those dodgy pot holes especially when youve had a drink if you know what imean!! Take care drop us an email if youve got time on supa_modal_69@hotmail.com

Marretta has just telephoned to say the prices are cheaper that she first thought 

soz  the price is per couple per night

I f  anyone wants studios for there holiday email me at alisonlimb@gmail.com i know where there are some very central in Sidari low season £25 per couple and high season £30 .They are very nice Studios clean only minuites from the beach and about 7 mins from Sidari shops .

Message for DJ Tigger (Paul) are you going back to work this summer in Sidari??? Would love to see you again and catch up ill be back in Corfu from May 15th.  Angela

Hi Chris B, reply to your question about Ceasars nightclub like any nightclub Saturday is the busiest night it is a mixture of tourists and local people.  You have a choice of relaxing outside in the beer garden or inside the club for dancing.  The music played is varied but up to date.  Every night in Ceasars is busy throughout the season but obviously July and August in high season it is buzzing.  Personally I found Ceasars to be the best nightclub in Sidari and is open until around 6am or until the last person leaves!  Hope this answers your question.  Angela 

yeah ceasars will be busy when your there, usually there is an upstairs and downstairs. it also has a heated garden. it has lots of english people there, but downstairs on the raised platform it is mostly greeks. english music is good, but they do play shake it by sakis 2-3 times a night!be careful of the albanians, and also of the big bouncer, he is a great guy(doenst speak english) as he will stand no s**t from english people and throw you out-literally. go to shakers first, and stay there till around 2ish,then to ceasars as thats what time it gets busy. when you going to sidari??

Hi, can anyone tell me more about Ceasars nightclub? Is it mainly English people that go in there, what type of music do they play in there etc? Also, will things be getting busy around mid-May time? Thanks, Chris

sidari is the best part of corfu. nightlife is excellent and for anybody up for a little more after ceasars nightclub shuts at 6am, come up to roda!! best bar is shakers, but there are lots of bars to choose from. Its no where near as crazy as kavos, its still as loud, just cleaner and classier! lazy days and busy nights its actually warm now here, best time to come is july and august. butwheteher is genually good may-october. See you soon . Andio filos

Hi Helena

Sorry about that last one, I'm a bit stupid! Me and some friends are coming to Sidari this summer and I wondered what the nightlife is like and if there is a decent club in the resort?

No been yet

To helena Watson reference GeorgesBar

Hi, going to Marilena Apartments in June 2005, wondered if anyone knew how much the air con costs each week and whether there are safety deposit boxes provided and how much they cost? Has anyone stayed at these apartments and if so are they good? Thanks x

..http://www.geocities.com/geocorfu/01.html i think this is what you are talking about

Does anyone know which tour operator is dealing with Zafiris 2 apartments this year? First choice are only dealing with the main complex(Zafiris 1), but we preferred Zafiris 2, just round the corner! Any info on this, please email me at geoffcox8898@hotmail.com. Many thanks

hope this helps
we have been going to sidari for the past 4 years and have children aged 14 and 4

I think you wont be dissappointed its not like Kavos (YET) but it is lively in sidari at night I was told by the rep there is a night club not sure .Sidari can be lively at night but to be honest it a place for everyone young and old.

Well I havent been yet...But im going away with 2 other mates at the beginnin of July.  I would just like to know what the night life is like there in sidari??? any comments would be a great help

soz suppose to say staying

Hi becki
    We have been going to Sidari for the past 4 years and again this year we are meeting up with friends we meet so in total there will be 12 of us .I have a 4 year old that loves the beach and I can assure you if it was dirty i wouldnt let him Last year I went paragliding and the water wasnt dirty either .The people in Sidari are so friendly,Resturants are brillant as well try Alkion Hotel they do a brillant meal.I Have been told three little pigs is good as well.The Appartments we have been in are basic but clean and after all we only sleep in them .Always remember an holiday is only what you make it and i can honestly say i have NEVER had a bad holiday in Sidari.Where abouts are you stayinf

My mum and I have booked a holiday for september in Sadari. We are hoping for a nice beech with some nice restaurants. Does anyone think we have not chosen the right place as after reading some reports on Sadari we are a little concerned. We have previously been to Kos which we loved is this resort similar?

I HAVE  NEVER HAD A PROBLEM  LEAVING ANYTHING ON THIS SITE

tried 3 times to post properley and its a crap board anyone wants to know what we thought about Sidari you can email me at russell@bdl-couriers.co.uk it was great for families

s

I was in sidari in july. Had a magic time. Plenty o bars n wide variety of restaurants which was cool. Every1 a met wer very friendly. A place i will defo go again. Bus transfer was bit o nightmare fo, hink it was cause the driver procceded t try n take every corner at 50

if you have been offered a job repping n sidari,take it!!!its a brilliant place, lazy days and busy nights, nightlife kicks off around 12-1am, what hotel will you be based at?

well we have been going to sidari for the past 4 years and always at the beginnig of june and NEVER found the beach to be dirty my husband and i have both been in the sea doing water sports .

Thought Sidari was an absolute dump! There was raw sewerage tracking across the beach to the sea. This was in mid-June - dread to think what it was like in high season. Will definitely not be visiting again.

hiya

i have never been to sidari but have been offered a repping job there this summer. i worked in malia summer just gone and am worried that sidari will be too quiet for me to last for 6/7months. any comments on the nightlife? what ages it suits, how many clubs/bars etc?

ta

in reply to anne smith sidari is a place which you can choose between a lively night life or a peaceful night life what ever you want we are going in june this will be our 6 time there is a lot of families with small kids and couples. the locals are very friendly.it does not have as much for kids as spain does but it is a more relaxing and different kind of holiday my little girl loves it there she is 8

It is incredibly hot throughout July samantha don't worry about that!

me and my firend just booked our holiday to sidari i went last year but i went in august and it was hot! can anyone tell me if it is hot in the begining of july please? thank you

Hi Anne, I have been to Sidari a few times now, both times with my fiance, even though we don't have children, we always thought it would be a decent place to take kids if we had any. There are always families there with smaller and older kids, i think Sidari has got something for everyone of all ages. There are plenty of trips and activities to do as well during the day if you want to get out and about and see more of Corfu. Corfu's 18-30 destination is Kavos which is situated at the opposite end of the island well away from Sidari, so anyone going for a boozy holiday goes there, leaving those who prefer a quiter nighlife with activities and plenty to do in Sidari. I think you will enjoy it. Hope this helps!

We have just booked to go to Sidari with two small children (four & five) - the travel agents said it was a great place for us but i'm getting really worried about all these bars and discos - is it really a resort for small children??

Hi, Just wondered if anyone could tell me if Sidari is still as good as it's always been. In other words is it still for all ages, and is it still family and couple orientated and not turned into an 18-30 type resort like Kavos? I like a good nightlife as much as the next person and i know the nightlife is good in Sidari, but just hope it's not getting a bit over the top like places like Kavos. Anyone who is in a couple or who has a family and has been to Sidari in the summer of last year, your comments would be much appreciated!
Thanks x

hi
these are bed and breakfast are on the beach not sure if these are the ones Dionyssos Pension they are with kosmar

Help, we stayed in Sidari a couple of years ago. A small, friendly, B & B which overlooked the beach. It has a restaurant at the front and is next to a disco. It was at the far end of the main street and opposite a hotel which has a pool and evening entertainment. If anyone can tell me the name of the B & B please let me know - we want to rebook and can't find it anywhere. They do fantastic breakfasts under a canopy on the beach. Many thanks to anyone who may be able to help.

We've been going to Sidari for 15 yrs :o) and we've booked again for this year, the people of Sidari are wonderful, very freindly and helpful, Sidari is a place where all the family can find something to please them, young & Old, you can have a nice quiet holiday or you can 'rock till dawn' your chioce!!!! :o) Our children & Grandchildren now go to Sidari for their hols too, Our personal choice is the Corfu Side of town, but younger people like the Canal D 'amour side, but we all meet up in the town centre which rocks :o) we always book with Thomsons or Thomas Cook Gr8 Reps!!!

Don't take our word for it!!!! go see for yourself :o)

had a wonderful holiday, its not to hectic however if your young and want fun then it is the
place to go, i would advise any one however if you want good bars and clubs you should
go to the lemon bar and faros nightclub, the prs are so helpfull and they get u the best
deals, look out for darren from stoke hes a cutie girls, and a joker lads.

we have been going to sidari since my youngest was 6 months he is now 4 and loves it i also have a 14 year old and he also loves sidari last year there where cars and a bouncing castle at night and the greek love children

I have just booked to go to sidari with my husband and two kids(6/9) This is are first time to corfu or greece.I am worried that there will not be enough things for the children to do,is this the case or is there plenty for them to do

Hi Nicola

The Zafiris Apartments are located in the Canal D'Amour area of Sidari and have very good right-ups on both this site and others. If you email me on caroline.langley@northlindsey.ac.uk I can send a map and general information if that would be of help.

I am thinking of booking Zafiris App for June 05, for myself/husband and 3yr old son. Can anyone tell me about these Appartments? We have never been to Greece-how is the beach for snorkeling/scuba?

Early October 2004 was our first visit to any Greek Island, and I was a little disappointed. Although I enjoyed the break I do not envisage going back to Corfu. Sadly the beach at Sidari was not good. Although it was only early October, many shops and bars were closing. There was a a definate end of season feel about the place. The local people were hospitable and the food was great. Much too British for me!

soz meant to write dont know about your apartments

Hi
dont know but you can hire safety deposit boxes in your apartments but you can go anywhere I know you can go to Value Plus and they have them dont know what tour operator you are going with but we travel with kosmar and you can have a safety deposit box with them and when my friend used them they where free hope this helps

I need to know if there are any safety deposit boxes in the ostria apartments in sidari. We have booked a holiday there in August next year but the brochure does not mention safety deposit boxes. If you have been there could you please advise me if these do exist if not where would we be able to obtain one from. Otherwise we are looking forward to visiting the greek island of sidari.

was supposed to show excellant - forgot to highlight we liked it on previous post - sorry

Have been to Sidari with my grandparents for many years and this year went on a girlie holiday with freinds - great place - hired a car from value plus in the high street and had fabulous service Yanni and Sophie were so helpful - thank You

Jade

october 2004 we stayed in san george appartments. the appartments are great very spacious the food is and so is the family that runs it especially the bar men there is george ( proper lush all he does is want to get jiggy with the lasses lol) and stephanos ( he is well fit ) and dont forget jimmy ( who cleans the appartments he is well funnny) i would reccomend these appartments to anyone! the only thing that was disappointing was sidari beach it was quite a dump! im definently going back in may 2005. thew nightlife in sidari is great to the best nightclub is caesars.

Laura, obviously you did not see the letter that was written by Gaz C, if you had I think you would have agreed with us, it was obviously written by a lager lout that would have best been suited to Kavos. If you like Sidari as much as you say you do then I think you probably would have taken offence aswell. Like you say we are all entitled to our own opinions.

Hannah

the pool is not dirty!!!!! How can you say that it is very clean have been swimming in that pool every year (most years twice) since it opened in 1996 never once have we had an infection from A DIRTY POOL - speaks for iteself

Lin what was the last post talking about yes people are entitled to their own thoughts but when it is someone who does not appear to have any cohesive thoughts you can undertand why the post has been removed - we do not need 'chill pills' just common sense dont you think!!!!

will you girls take a chill pill people are entitled to thir own opinion not that im agreeing with him sidari is the best xxx

Thanks Sylvia for agreeing with me, I don't understand how anyone can critise Sidari or anywhere in Corfu for that matter, we love it and will keep going back year after year.Regards Lin

gaz c you are obviously a pratt!!!! corfu does not need people like you - ice cream with dog s**t on is what you deserve. take your self back to spain or the canaries they will understand you mental capacity - have good holidays, but not in greece!!!!!!!!!

regarding the othonos apartments we stayed there 3 years ago and although the tiles on the bathroom walls were dated the space was large and very clean. We go to sidari every year for twice and where ever we stay we always use the pool at the othonas apartments because we find the family that run it to be very friendly - helpful - and honest!!!! They do though get annoyed with people that dont follow basic rules of behaviour!!!!! quite rightly when they have to supply an environment to suit families, singles and older people. Great place - thoroughly recommend Tele (barman) and dimitria (mum) great people

Well what a holiday. Before i went on holiday i search the internet for more information on Othonas Apartments but couldnt find anything. I now know why, what a dump!

The apartment was a good size but the decor left a lot to be desired. They would open the pool bar as an when they felt like it, the pool was dirty and the family who ran the apartments did anything they could to try and rip you off with money. They own the supermarket (if thats what you can call it) across the road and also there they try and rip you off. I have been Sidari before and it is a wonderful place but i would advise anyone going to not to stay in Othonas. We had 3 days of rain, but i expected that, it would have just been nice to have sat in a nice apartment on these days. So overall great Island, crap apartments!

What a great holiday we had at this hotel. The staff were brilliant and all aspects of the holiday were first class. Only slight downer was the dogs which occasionally were noisy and roaming about but otherwise food was good local drinks were fine (we went all-inclusive) and special mentions go to Kiki (the owner), Alex (her daughter) and Liz at the bar who were all wonderful and created a real family spirit. We met loads of new friends and hope to return next year (as a group) to enjoy the hospitality once more. Forget the negative comments - unless you want to nitpick. Remember - this is a 2 star hotel - NOT the Ritz, so ifyou accept it's shortcomings then you'll have a great time.

make sure you have enough money/credit Card to cover medical Bills,I took out travel insurance with my tour operator before i left the u.K
My wife required medical assistance the Surgery was not interested in my paper work and insisted in payment before treatment, (£200) Claim your money back when you return to the U.K was the answer i got from the staff at the Surgery. Greek night is a must well worth the money free wine all night look out for the english dancers colin & Julie they are fantastic.

Did I say immature, does this reply not prove my point. Maybe you should have gone to Kavos, it's probably better suited to your age group. I think they have a childrens club in a couple of the complexes.By the way it's Lin with an I not a Y. See ya Gaz.xx

judging by the comments from Gaz C, he or she is obviously too young or immature to appreciate the island. What part did you go too as it is a wonderful place. It is very late in the season and everything is closing down so maybe that is why they weren't impressed, also due to the storms they had there a couple of weeks ago a lot of the beaches had debris on them that had been washed up from the sea. I was there from the 4th to the 11th October and it was very quiet but also very lovely.

I went to Corfu for the first time in June 2002 and it was my first time flying, I was terrified of flying before that. I loved the plane journey, I looked out of the window all the way there and was fascinated. I spoke to the airline before I went and explained that I was scared of flying and they sat me at the front near the stewardesses,they were absolutely brilliant, they bought me a cup of tea and held my hand through the take off,the flight should have been 3 1/4 hours but actually only took 2 1/2. I have flown 10 times since then and have been back to Corfu 3 times, we only came back on the 11/10/2004. You will fall in love with the island, it is beautiful, the greek people are so friendly and will make you feel at home. The beaches are lovely and there is some wonderful places to see on the island, especially Paleokastritsa, you think you'll have died and gone to heaven. It is best to hire a car for 3 or 4 days to make the most of everything as coach trips can be expensive. We stayed in Sidari which is the north end of the Island and we love it. We are booked to go back next June with all of our family. We actually went to Rhodes in June of this year but missed Corfu so much we had to just go for a week to satisfy our craving for the place. We took 2 friends with us and they also fell in love with it. Whereabouts in Corfu are you going? Tell your wife not too worry as she will love it.

hello i just wanted to ask a few things as i'm flying out there next July with my wife and two kids. As one of my kids is 19 and the other will be 17 is there enough for them to do. Also this is my wifes first time in a plane and overseas so if anyone has been to corfu and it was your first time flying and first time abroad could you drop me a wee message so i can show my wife many thanks......

lovely place, no pavements tho so watch the kids when walking about. the car hire shop down the main street was giving excellent exchange rate. after commission we still got 1.45 to the pound. you don`t get that at home! try rooftop gardens restaraunt. brilliant english tucker. definately go back. the kids and me and the mrs loved it and we`ve been to loads of places.

to anne,
change your money into euros before you go, best place is travel agents or post office where you don't get charged commission. the rate here is about 1.40, in corfu its a bit higher but you will get charged so its not worth it.

your friendly foreign exchange cashier!!

excellents all round. i went for 2 weeks (last week july, first week august) and i can honestly say it is the best holiday i've had. tom, kevin and tellis are absolutely brilliant. i'm definately going back but next year it won't be jmc, it will be cosmos but hopefully nothing will change.

how is the best way and place to change my money when i go to sidari next week

Got back 2 weeks ago, and had an amazing time...the "clubs" aren't the best in the world but they do if your in the mood to dance the night away. I fell in love with the place and the people there were so nice. they even thought me a couple of greek sayings. I had a wicked laugh with Michael and Sean at the Turtle bar. Wicked young funny lads they were even so nice to walk us back up the dirt track so we could stay out later...our parents worried to much. Had such an amazing time going back out next year and if all goes well i don't think i want to come home.
I got lost one night and the people were so friendly and helped me find my way back to my mates. The cliffs at the Canal D'amore are gorgeous and its just so cool to sit and watch the sea.
We only had one bad day of weather and that was a saturday i think but it was all good coz it was still nice and hot...just beware of the mosquitos...evil evil creatures they are...

going to sidari what money is the best to change pound to and is it best to change it here or when you get there.

going to sidari. christos apartments would like to see any imformation about sidari or accomadation ect

Just got back from Sidari on the 9th October, Had a fab time only down fall was the bad weather that we had on the 25th sept which was 3 days of rain solid and apart from intermitant gaps when could get out and missing the large rain drops. But after the rain exellent sunshine got a great tan also not to hot which I like was about 80 in the shade, also was first time for me visiting sidari and first time flying and found it a great exerience. Apartment was great stayed at the Joanna appartments on the canal d'amoor only 2 bed appts but was exellent nice pool and pool bar and its a must to visit also Alexi's Restaurant fantastic food and entertainment well recommended. Trip to corfu town by night was great only 5 Euro's and get about 4 hours there. used NSK travel on canal d'amoor will be going back may and sept 2005.

My boyfriend and I have just returned home from a great week in sidari. It was quiet in the evening although most bars and resturants were still open. The food was fantastic as was the weather! Would definatly recomend Sidari for couples who want to go away this time of year. If you get the chance hire a boat from The Yellow Boat Company and cruise around the bay it was wonderful and very romantic. Say hi Geordie Emma who PR's for the bar "one for the road" from Leila & Matt.

Got back on the 26th September after spending 2 weeks at the Alkion Hotel Sidari half board. Food was excellent the service and staff were extremely good. Never used the hotel pool once as the beach was so close by. We can understand why people book the hotel year on year as you cannot fault it. Paid extra 50 Euros for air con as the weather was so hot day & night also protects against mossies. Sidari is small but everyone is very friendly. If you get the chance visit Albania and the historic site at Butrint. Albania is a real eye opener.Its cheaper if you book through the local shops but we booked through the rep for ourpeace of mind. The local bus service is good and on time, 2.8 Euros to Corfu, 2.4 to Kassiopi. The rep said the shops shut at lunch time in Cofu town but we saw none close, probably trying to push the night time shopping trip. On the whole we enjoyed our stay and would recomend the Alkion to anyone.

I got back on Tuesday 28th and I am missing it already. We stayed at Rebeccas Vialge which was a bit of a walk to the beach and in to town. We had to get a taxi back on a night that cost 5 euros. I loved the beach, it was great for my 6yr old daughter, and Canal D'Amour was beautiful. The food was great and cheap. We went to Sea Breeze on the beech front and we could get the set menu, a three course meal for 6 euros ( and you got plenty). Three little pigs was a surprise. I loved my Beef Guvet and the dancing from the waiters was fabulous, much better that Olympic!! I was annoyed that a bottle of Amstel could range from 1.5 to 3 euros though, and the spirits werent that cheap - 3 euros. Although, in Mojos I could get a cocktail and a kids cocktail for 3.50. Mikey Inn was a good laugh and the food is beautiful if you get tired of the greek food. I also recommend the coach excursions. It did get cold on a night though and it does suit couples and familys more for the month we went. On a whole I thoroghly enjoyed and def would go back.

I went with a mate mid Sep and it had really died off, nights were chilled, days were not too hot, much better for couples or familes to go after the main season. Choice of places to eat was excellent, as was the service, not cheap though, same prices for food and drinks as home (unless youre buying pints of local lager!)
Beach is small, best to walk to Canal D'Amour just up the coast, best food was Athena or Olympic(plus you get the dancing waiters there). Best bars were Shakers and Lemon and the so called nightclubs (Caesers and Faros) were awful - unless you are 17 and love unknown Greek house music!!
Would def go back to Corfu, but not Sidari - too small, once will be enough for anyone.

I am going to sidari on the 4th October and i will be staying at Othonas Apartments. I went to Sidari last year, but i stayed at the Goudelis Apartments. I have been trying to get more information on Othonas Apartments other than what is on the Olymic website but i have had no luck. Has anyone stayed at Othonas in the past who can tell me what it is like? i am already worried that the weather will be rubbish so i would hate for the Apartments to be as well. Please help.. Thank you.

The food is so cheap, cheaper than the drink!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try Salt and Peppers its at the start of the main street!!!!!!!! the food drink, cost, and hospitaltiy is remarkable.

it is lively yet you can still have a quite night!!!!!!!!! Ive just got back and it was raining for a couple of days!!!!! but it was great! The mosquitoes are terrible Dont forget your plug ins, creams, repellents!!! I recommend you book the BBQ Cruise, fantastic day out! book it on the main street you'll save 15 euros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If youve any other questions before then, post them on this site and I'll get back to you

Kelly Erangey :-)

Sidari was the best resort we have been to in Greece. The centre of the resort has a handful of lively bars / clubs. With plenty of quieter bars in the surrounding areas. Good selection of Greek tavernas with reasonably priced meals, main meals were about 6 euros (exchange rate 1.7 euros to the pound). The main beach is sandy and a reasonable length and width, sloping gently. The D’Amore sea front doesn’t have much in the way of beach but plenty of flat rock for sun bathing, the sea has cut channels into the cliff which make great places to swim. Seemed to be a friendly resort which manages to cater for teenagers on their first holidays as well as families. Mosquitoes!! You will get bitten, everyone does, you just have to accept it. Its greener and wetter than other places we have been in Greece which suits the mossies I guess. Enjoy

Myself and my sister, Julie, stayed at the Asteria Apartments in the Canal D'Amour in May 1998. It was a wonderful resort and was the first time we had been out of the UK. During the fortnight, we visited Kassiopi and Corfu Town on the local bus, Achillion Palace, Ponticonissi,Paleocastritsa and Belavista (Corfu Highlights Tour) and most days we would sunbathe at the complex up on the side above the canal D' Amour lovers beach. The days were warm and the evenings went cold. I would go to Sidari again in the future. Each day we would go for a walk into Sidari Town. I have a wonderful video of the whole fortnight and some stunning photographs.
From Diane Wilsher

Hiya
we're off to Sidari this Friday - 17th - staying at Zafiris apartments - good reports on here. Near Canal D'Amour area. Not stayed at these apartments before but have been to Sidari 3 times before & love it.
anyone else in the town at the same time?

This was our second trip to Greece but first to Sidari, my self and my family enjoyed it very much!Everyone in Sidari is very nice, al the locals make you feel very welcome!We stayed at Socrates apartments, which I recomend to all, they were very clean and it was very peaceful and had a great view of the Canal D'Amour!
We have jus got back from staying in Sidari!I found Sidari to be a very peaceful area in the day which was very nice!There is plenty to do in the day like, go on day trips, shopping, going to the beach, where you can engage in a number of water sports, or if you which to relax and catch those rays then a nice relaxing day by the pool is nice!
Evening meals-I recomend that you try the three little pigs, I found the food and staff both very nice, at about 9pm each night they put on a show of greek dancing and tradishions, it is well worth goin to see at least once!If you are a big eater then try Cactus Jacks!Also China Town has a nice meanu!
In the evenings you are sure to see Alex, who drives a white horse drawn carrage which is nice for the family or jus you and your partner! There is also a man on the main strip that plays the sane one note on his violin!
If you are not one for clubs in the evening then Sidari is a nice area where you can go shopping on the main streets in the evening! If you are one who likes bars and clubs then you are sure to find one that will take your fancy on the main street!!
I recomend Sidari to all it is a must visit kind of place! Everything and everyone there is wonderfull!! I can't waite to be back there next year!! Danielle Hall Summer 2004

if ur looking for a real clubby holiday place to go then sidari is the one for the night life a whole street full of clubs, but i wouldnt like 2 stay there u wud never sleep with the music lol. but i really do recommend the night life 2 all clubbers. me, melissa, joanne, natalie, andy, tom, dick, neil, timmy, wayne, and tammy all had a wicked time up sidari but we all stopped in roda.

Hi Julie

I havent stayed in the Yiannis Apartments but I have heard very good comments about them from people who have stayed there as you pass the Beach Star Hotel (where we stay every year) on the way to the beach and often used to use this hotel's facilities whilst there. Only downside I was told was that you need a torch at night because it isnt well lit going back. I know they were shown on Holidays from Hell but it has to be remembered that accommodation in Greece is basic. For the post part Corfiots are very friendly, honest and kind people, but as in this country, rub them up the wrong way and be rude and you are not going to get much satisfaction.

If anyone has any questions about anything to do with Sidari please feel free to Email us at tyganguk@hotmail.com

We have just returned from a 2 Week Holiday we stayed at the Katerina Apartments and they where nice but where only serviced by the Maid 3 times in 14 days. They advertise that they do a 5 times a week service. The pool was ok but we did find that there are other Better Pools available nearby. All Pools are Free to everyone in Sidari so you can go elsewhere and not feel bad about it. Breakfast by far has to be Eaten at Shooters a short walk along Canal D'Amour and you are there. For Evening Meals try China Town on the Start of the Main Strip or CACTUS JACKS if your not a Big Eater dont order a starter if your feeling Brave have Nachos then the MIXED Grill oh Boy!!! There prices look a little expensive compared to other restaurants in Sidari but trust us well worth it. If you want a Nice Greek Meal try the Bolero on the Main Strip where Anna does the best Moussuaka corfu has to offer.
There is also a Local Greek man runs a Horse Drawn Carrage tour of the 2 Strips in Sidari and he is good for families and Couples alike.
There is an old Greek man sits opposite China Town with a Violin busking in Greek we took to calling him the Ting Ting Man as all he does is play the same note over and over again.
If your in Bolero and Your Male and are Brave enough or Manly enough speak to Andy the DJ about a Funnel and he will sort you out. To the partners of anyone that tries this I am indeed sorry about the mess the following day.

just had two weeks in the lengend apt.found them to be very spaciuos and the cleaner "christine" was very helpful.
the d.j could not sing to save his life but ten out ten for effort.
english waiter steve very very helpful and owner very nice and friendly
small beach so.so larger beach could be better if they cleaned it each night it would be excellent
my kids loved the pool and my daughter fell in love with steve.
we got a bit bored later on in the second week because the town centre is not very big and there is only so much you do in two weeks

Caroline, you seem to know a lot about Sidari and was just wondering if you had stayed at the Yiannis Village apartments, if you had what did you think and did you get to know the people who worked there?

Thanks Caroline, will keep that in mind.

also how much for typical meal? thanks

any useful info on loxides?>

Hi Julia

The weather in late Sept/Oct is still good, although in the 20's and not 30's. You can still sunbathe and although there is a lot more cloud about and the odd rainy day its still lovely. The resort will be a lot quieter as it is coming to the end of the season, although the bars and nightclubs will still be open. As I have said to John it is a lot cooler at night so you need to take something to keep warm.

Hi John

There are two lots of Maria's Apartments. Both in the Canal D'Amour area of Sidari. One lot used to be part of the Hawaii complex and they are excellent as my friends run the bar and pool there. These would have been booked through the Sunset Brochure or JMC. The other apartments are a bit nearer the beach and they have had some bad press but there have been varying comments both good and bad.

As you are going early in October, please be aware that the temperature drops dramatically at night and it can be very cold, so make sure that you take something warm for the evening.

Have never been to Maria apartments but I know someone who is a rep in Sidari and she has mentioned Maria's apartments before and says they're alright. Me and friend are returning to Sidari on the 24th September, has anybody been this time of year, whats the weather like and how busy is it? Staying at the Legends apartments which look nice as we walked past them every day. Vicky and Becky, when in September are you going. Anybody going late September?

Any one ever been to Marias aprtments in Sidari. Heard lots of bad things but are booked for two weeks early October

To Beverley

Got my email wrong it is caroline.langley@northlindsey.ac.uk

To Beverley

If you have booked with Thomas Cook, these apartments used to be the Beach Star Apartments and are now called the Oresti Apartments which is the owner's son's name.If it is the same, they are excellent apartments to stay in. Opposite end to the Canal D'Amour area of the resort in a quiet location and a stones throw from the beach. If you would like an A3 map which shows you the location, please email me on caroline.langley:northlindsey.ac.uk

Hi Kara

I have been going to Corfu for over 8 years now and have never seen any racial prejudice. There are always a mixture of people in the resort of all minorities and nationalities. The Corfiot people are wonderful when you get to know them and I have never experienced any prejudice from them either.
Hope this helps.

Has anybody stayed at Legends apartments? Me and my friend are going on the 24th September, anybody been this time of year before, whats the weather like?

hi, yes kostos is still there and well :) energetic as ever, made me feel so happy, i got back only 2hours ago and wish to return, mainly because of him. Great apartments and pool, all staff so friendly!!

sorry haven't heard of them apartments.
forgot to say if anyone wants to know the TRUTH about places in sidari read my other reviews and after i return next year i will be able to give even better reviews!

Im going to the orestis appartments next week, any information would be useful.

oh, kara and j noo, you will both be fine in sidari its just great

sidari was really the best place we've been to. it's totally perfect, the only problem was the airport transfer but it's not really that bad!
the canal d'amour beach was fab, loads of shops, bars etc.
nightlife was great loadsa clubs bars an everythin an there really relaxed about age so teenagers are allowed in (i think its a good thing anyway as i'm 13)
shops were fantastic as i love fake designer goods an i came back with 2 louis vuitton bags, gucci stuff etc
also for genuine designer stuff go to emporio, with fantastic clothing,sells designers such as moschino,paul frank,armani etc
as the place is rather small by the end of your stay you recognise nearly everyone.
just ignore the children who try to sell glo-sticks, roses etc to you. they never give up until you buy one.
sidari waterpark good but must go to aqualand too
going back next year, loved every minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!

i kno this sounds a crazy question to ask, but has any1 seen any blacks/asains at the resort. i had an arkward time at another resort i went2 once where their wernt any..wanna book a holiday here but i dont want2 endure racial abuse!
thanks

sidari is for all ages we have been going for the last 4 years i have a 14year old who enjoyes it and also a three year old thats really enjoyes it the water sports are water skiing banana boats rings and paragliding hope this helps

me and 3 m8s goin to stay @ loxides in a few days...have heard good and bad things,....what kind of holidaymakers r there in sidari? is it like Malia,, where u get a whole mixture of people..young/old.. couple/singles/families..white/black.. disabled/abled??

Hi Carloine. You have been a great help. Just glad you can go to sites like these and get good feedback.

I will let you all know how my holiday went when I get back.

We had a brilliant time in Sidari, stayed at the Yannis Village apartments which were excellent, the night life was good, everyone very friendly and just had a fab time, am thinking of going back in a weeks time, anybody going on 30th September?

has anyone stayed at the christina apartments in sidari ?

Hi David

I hope I have been of some help. We've been going there for some time and wouldnt go anywhere else now. Just a thought, ask the owners if they will have an apartment free to rent that you can use or if they know of another apartment complex that you can rent a room for the day. I wouldnt try the tour operators they always say no. Most of the apartments and tavernas are owned by families who live in the area surrounding Sidari and are all related in some way or another. So you are sure to find somewhere if you ask politely.

Caroline

Caroline, thanks for the info.

I did not explain myself clearly enough, so apologies for that. We will have the room until Friday noon, but dont get picked up from the apartment until 12.30 a.m. Saturday morning.
Normally you can leave your suitcases in another room in the building, but I prefer to have the room for another day.

I have been reading all your comments and you seem to have enjoyed your stay each time you have been there, so with that in mind I'll be looking forward to my holiday.

Thanks for your comments.

Hi David

Have you done a database search on this site. They have some very positive comments. On renting your apartment for another day. At most apartments you hold your room until 12noon on the day of your departure and as your departure is in the morning I would have thought you would still be in your accommodation. It would seem very strange if you have to wait a whole 24 hours before leaving and not have any accommodation.

Caroline

Another thought. we will be leaving the resort around 12:30 in the morning and wanted to know how easy it is to book an extra day in the apartments.

I am going on my holidays to Sidari at the end of August and wanted to know what is the best excursion to go on. Also I am staying ay the Georges apartments and wanted to know what these are like.

Any info received back would be most appreciated!!

SIDARI ROCKS! It's the best place we've ever been on holiday and we love it so much we've already been twice this year (04) and are returning in september! The beaches, cliffs and coves are beautiful, the bars and clubs are the best i've ever been to and the men are all stunning. The entire place is just wonderful and i recommend it to anyone who is looking to holiday in Corfu.

Came back to dreary England yesterday morning after having an xcellent time in sidari. Spent most of our nights in THE RED LION BAR in the high street. Fantastic entertainment STEVIE SPIT the drag queen was absolutly brillant how long does he take to get ready??????? Catch his act onTuesday night i think it was(to plastered to remember)But its not for the kids. Also DARREN MAY who does a side splitting worst Elvis act on a monday night. Then on thurs night he is an absolute brill singer an guitar player not to be missed, brill bar staff Yanni and Panis(sorry guys if spelt wrong) A big hello to them from No Lemon!!! Thanks to DARREN and LEANNE the owners who also have 2 resturants with xcellent food. For making us feel welcome will try and get back to see ya all. We had an xcellent time for 7 nights and will def go back as there is so much we didnt get round to doing and seeing loads of secluded coves and beaches to find by boat and loads of excursions to go on (BUT DEF. NOT BOOKED WITH THE TOUR OPERATORS THEY RIP YOU OFF BIG STYLE)So go to sidari get busy every day to see it all but take plenty of mossi repellant and the plug in ones you WILL need it. Sidari caters very well for the English so no need to worry bout the lanuage and food, which is lovely.Becareful on the roads as they are quite scary as mopeds are the main form of transport and they drive mad. You will always find that you are walking on a road at some point as foot paths are very few and far between so again be careful keep a close grip on little ones hands if taking them. Apart from that enjoy your holiday there.

Thanks Caroline!

Hi Leigh
You can get Leader cigarettes there for one Euro a packet. There is an old man's bar in the middle of Sidari High Street that sells loads of brands but you will find cigarettes at some new places on Sidari High Street now. Sidari Village did have some bad press earlier on when they had just opened, a lot teething problems, but it appears to have settle down well now and so far (the last year) there have been no serious complaints at all.

Go out there with an open mind, be courteous with your hosts and enjoy yourselves. If you need any further information about Sidari itself then please feel free to email me on caroline.langley@northlindsey.ac.uk

Caroline

Hi
Can anyone help on where the best place for duty free is? Staying at Sidari Village, and want cheap ciggies. Can any one help?

Hi, me and my friend (both 27) have just booked at Monika complex in Sidari for 1st week in Sept. Just hoping someone can give some advice on where to go (and where not to!) and what the music/girls are like.
Cheers..........Dean.

Myself & family are going to Sidari in September. We are staying at Sidari Village. Has anyone been there? Can you tell me what it is like?

Hello, Can anyone help? I'm going to Sidari in September, staying at the Marias Apt in the Canal d'Amour area. Are these the nice apartments or the other ones? Keep trying to work it out, but getting very confused!

Thanks x

sidari was absolutley fantastic, the greeks were so friendly, except for that one who works in memories with the ganky eye n mank teeth, who was just a complete p**ve!! laura i cant remember going into the calypso bar! mabey i was too drunk to remember, lol!! i would definatley go back there again, n get a betta tan next time!! there was loads of fit lads there, so it was definatley a thums up holiday!! but if we do go back there laura, i want to go into other resturant and bars n clubs, instead of just goin into memories!! anyway i had a great time and really enjoyed it!! love y'all jaymi xxx

have heard that you can go horse riding in sadari. does anyone know any details ta.

Have just come back from sidari, and stayed at the Angela apartments. They were very basic but clean and had a good view from the balcony. The only down side was that it didnt have its own pool, but we found a really nice one at legends bar and restaurant, which we highly recommend, and was opposite the Angela. We would advise to hire some fans from mountain mania, as the room was really stifling in the night, and especially if you have kids. Also highly recommend that you take gallons of mosquito repellent and buy some plug in ones too!!! got bitten loads! Dont go to the pizza place just after the Dinos apartments, as they dont know how to make a pina colada and it is really expensive for not that great food. The calypso bar does really great food at good prices and the kids liked it as they could play on the beach and the swings. Good kids menu and great friendly staff.. Faros was especially nice too.. dont go to memories, unless you want traditional greek food that tastes like bettys hotpot!!! The main road is really busy and noisy and not for the faint-hearted... Beaches were ok, but dont expect white sands and clear waters... only smelt sewage smell once or twice in the town, but nothing to spoil our hols. Book your excursions through avia travel which is on the main street just past macdonalds... we went to aqualand which we highly recommend, (if you go on a monday its really quiet) you must go on the black hole, and finish off the day floating around the lazy river. We also went on the underwater boat kalypso star, which was absolutely fab and the kids loved it. But not if you get seasick!!! Corfu town wasnt up to much, and we much preferred sidari town, but it was ok for a few last minute pressies. All in all a really enjoyable time and the greeks are as always, fabulous hosts and genuinely nice people.

Does anybody have any information about fishing?
Is there anywhere for the kids to fish in Sidari? Either off a jetty or rocks etc.
What bait, tackle is required?

i thought sidari was fab i got back on the 07/07/2004 and had a brilliant time. it is a perfect resort for anyone. there is plenty to do for families, young and old. most of the people are very friendly and want to help as much as possible. The beach was good and there were many water activities to do. there are many shops and restaurants and somegood bars and clubs. In some pools/bars english sport/ tv programmes are sometimes shown. the greek night at the three little pigs looked amazing, definatelyworth a visit. the food and menu at El Greco was fantastic. the most annoying thing was theone or two flower ladies which were very pushy, but can be escaped. There are plenty of daytrips within easy reach and are cheap to do, (warning do not do them through your tour rep) go to the high street. the country side around is lush and green and easily accessible. if you hire transport the main road is excellent and is well signposted. if you decide to venture on your own, we hired a moped and drove to Paleokastritsa which was a stunning drive through very hilly terrain. the weather was perfect it can be scorching by the pool but the beach provides a cooling breeze constantly. it was never unbearably hot. this is a perfect destination which was extremely tidy and well kept. 10/10

3 of us have just returned from sidari! apart from having a punch up amongst ourselves (first night, too drunk, too early!!) the holiday was a blast. i had the greeks all wrong. they were the nicest bunch of people i have met and really go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
sidari has a good balance of young and old, singles and families. it is not too quiet like roda nor in your face like kavos. it seems crazy to be sitting in a bar at midnight and still see families walking around you.
unlike some other greek resorts (malia, kavos, ipsos etc), nobody seemed up their own a**e either!! it was a great laugh.

the boys from notts..............

In answer to Justine's question, myself and 2 friends stayed in the Mega Idrie Apts. They are very quiet and set back. Approx 2 kms away from the centre. However, they are very clean and well looked after. The owner is a great bloke, who really looks after the place. He will also let you have a late check out if you ask - something the Rep said couldn't happen!

Hi Christine

Are you sure they are the IonLoxides Annexe? I have not heard of these before only Loxides Apartments and Annexe. Who is the tour operator?

Just arrived back after two great weeks at the Macedonia Apartments. The whole family really enjoyed staying here. It is within easy walking distance from the centre of Sidari. The accommodation and pool are kept very clean and tidy.
Chris Georgia and Villi are good hosts very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you dont feel like going very far after a long day sunbathing, then chill out at the bar, have a few beers, or red vodkas and do try their food (Villi makes a great tuna salad). We hope to go back next year.

Paul, Karen,
Rebecca (12) and Luke (8)

Just had another two weeks at the Lena App. they now have air-conditioning which is a god send because it was very hot and at 70 euros for the two weeks it was well worth it believe me. The Family Restaurant opposite the Champion Bar is run by Marco and Rita a great couple they made friends of us right away, you couldn't meet a nicer family, and the meals are excelent and cheap. We also went to Belero's Bar in the town centre what a great night you must go there and watch Nick do his dancing in the street, also Sam and Matthew behind the bar are lovely people, watch out for the Sambooka shots he gives you, they are lethal but lovely, don't have too many, I suffered they day after. Meal and drinks in Sidari are plentiful and cheap no matter where you go, try Fagin's for Full English Breakfast beautiful. If you go to Family Restaurant tell them Ken sent you, try the Fillet Steak with peppercorn sauce, it's he best.

Daniella Fiore

Try aqua land for a great family day out; don’t book it through your rep you will get a good deal with vlasseros travel which is opposite the three brothers hotel in the middle of sidari.

I have been told about some apartments in Sidari called IonIoxides annexe,which I cannot seem to find on your website,please could you help? many thanks,Christine cushion.

I am going to sidari on Monday and would like to know what i can do with children is there anyone who knows a good place that familys can go to to have a bit of fun?

we loved sidari it was a great holiday we went into the memories resturant a lot it was great the staff was great the beach is small but it is a nice sandy beach lots of differnt water sports ther is a brill club called calypso it was the best ever great music if enyone is goin to sidari i wouldnt worrie about enything ist a great place wer you can relax during the day and party at night love laura xxx

Thanks Caroline.

Did what you suggested and seems to be OK, Looking forward to the holiday.

Stayed here in may, at sidari village resort. Very nice resort but a very big hill to your appartments. Don't be put off by that though because they have there own bus taking you up it to your appartment.

APPARTMENTS were cleaned everyday and they were very spaceous indeed.

Didn't know what the night entertainment was like on the resort because i went self catering, i usually went to shakers for my english breakfast, very good indeed just like at home and the owner is very frendly.

I must say that there are a few places that are bad so i would warn you if you see them empty be very cautious, but most are ok. You must try stifado one of the best meals i have had and i would recomend going to the three little pigs for this, you get a good quality meal at a good price.
There are plenty of supermarkets about so you shouldn't be far away from anything you need but the best place to shop is the two big supermarkets by the bp garage, everything you every need is in there but it was a bit of a hike back to the resort about 30mins so it depends how mobile you are. There are taxis and car hire places about.

I did book a day trip to kassiopi, but i must warn you that if you are expecting a good day out there be warned. It's a small fishing village with one road coming to a dead end where the harbour is, there is a few shops there but not very many. as you walk away from the harbour up the hill it will take about 10 minutes to get to the end of the road, the other road off it takes about 3 minutes walk and thats kassiopi. Not very big at all, they do have a fort bt nothing special once you get to the entrance thats it you can't go any further.

Anyway i recommend sadari for anyone either young,old or families.

Thanks for that Stuart,was beginnin to think no one actually answered these pages! Will keep the pink panther in mind.

Hi Noel

Have you done a database search on this site. It gives you quite a few comments about the Theodosia. All of them good.

Me & my family are staying at the Theodosia Complex in Sidari from 23/08 - 05/09.
Does anyone have any comments about this accomadation?, What's the pool like, Is the room Ok etc etc.
Any comments are appreciated.

i keep reading that the beach was dirty well i went paragliding and of course i had to walk on the beach and i did not find it dirty and the water wasnt dirty either i had a white top on and it was still white when i got out of the water.as for sidari being dirty dont you think if people put rubbish in the bins instead of the floor it would be a better place.

I have been going to Sidari for my holidays for the past four years and can say that.
There have always been stray dogs there, but they have been very friendly and I have never seen anyone bitten or attacked. An odd one or two have been known to bark and run at people on mopeds, but that’s the worst I have seen.
The water at the bridge by the Canal D'Amour, named stinky bridge is not a pleasant smell, but it only affects a very small area and will certainly not ruin anyone's holiday.
The town is definitely suitable for families, in fact I would say that its one of its strong points. It has something for almost all ages, and whether you are after a hectic noisy holiday or a somewhat quieter one then Sidari & Canal D’amour will suit you.
I have seen tidier beaches than Sidari's, but as for them being strewn with cigarette ends and dogs dirt, then I can honestly say i have never noticed that. For the main it’s a perfectly good beach, and its shallow water makes it great for kids.Enjoy!!!!!!!

Justine, if you are hiring a moped then rest assured if you are confident on one you will be alright. I hired one for a couple of days at the weekend, the busiest days on the road, and I had great fun. Go to the Pink Panther to hire it the wee guy in there offers a very good service and will come out to you if you break down or get a puncture or ant yother unfortunate incident. A bit of advice, ask for a small moped as these are easier to manouvre on the sometimes tight streets in Sidari. Good luck and have fun, drive safely, and lastly when people on the Corfu roads toot their horns at you, don't take it personally or that they are criticising you, it's just their way of letting you know that they are there.
P.S the Pink Panther is situated at the top of Sidari next to the Baze bar (an excellent bar for breakfasting)

We loved this place. The town is very charming the people are lovely. The beach was an absolute TOILET, disgusting. The only thing I would warn anyone about is don't be fooled into going into the Olympic restaurant to eat it is absolutely awful!

Sidari is a filthy place, smells of drains and the beach is full of waste and rubbish. Thank god we hired a jeep and drove round the island. Is it just me or do the Germans seem to have the better resorts? San George apts were clean and quiet (I would recommend them as they are approx 10 mins walk outside of Sidari past Three Little Pigs restaurant). Canal D'Amour stinks, wear your wellies when plodging.

HOW SAFE ARE THE ROADS IF YOU HIRE MOPEDS?

HAS ANYONE STAYED AT THE MEGA IDRI APARTMENTS IN SIDARI? IF SO WHAT ARE THEY LIKE? ALSO HOW SAFE ARE THE ROADS IF YOU HIRE MOPEDS?WE HAVE HEARD COFLICTING STORIES ON THIS

we got back from sidari on the 18th of july, we absolutly loved the place and would return without a doubt, for anyone who is worried about the beach it really isnt that bad it is only one little area of the beach that we found had alot of sewage. there is a very quite beach down a dirt track road right beside the olive grove appartments in the canal d'amour area. it ia gorgous!

hello we are going to stay at the rebecca village hotel and apartments at Sidara on 30th july. Has anyone heard of them good or bad i'd love to know.

Hi Going to Koursaros Studios In sidari. Wondering if anyone has any info. I have been reading comments and not sure what to make of them all dont know weather i should be happy or sad!!!!!!!!!!!!

will be staying at the Zafiris appartments for 2 wks on 30th july
Has anyone stayed there , or has any info? also car hire

Lindsay Horsburgh

The Angelinas are in the Canal D'Amour area; regarding the beaches the area where the canal is does stink, apart from that the beach is fine. We haven’t stopped at these apartments, but have eaten their it’s always busy which is a good sign. As for your children, they will be fine, all the bars & restaurants cater for kids, so there will be know problem taking them out at night. Having been to sidari for the past four years I don’t think you could have picked a better family resort than sidari. Enjoy!

Me and my fiance have just arrived back from elena appartments one week ago we really enjoyed our stay and would return back there again, maybe next year. We had a fabulous time the bar staff and our rep BRIAN were great they were always there for you. the appartments were very clean and were cleaned every day, it was exceptionally hot but hey what do you go on holiday for, we both came back feeling great and really happy with our holiday we will definately be going back there. We have had a great stay specially when GREECE won the cup i have never seen anything like that in my life the celebrations were amazing something i wil never forget. so if you have the chance to go, GO!

We have just booked to stay at the Angelinas, I think they are in the Canal D'Amour area. We will be going with two children aged 5 and 4. Can anyone tell us what the beach(es) are like as we have heard some bad stories about sewage etc. Also what the appartments like and is Sidari ok for young children (can we still go out at night with them!)

got back just two weeks ago and none of the girls want to be back in england!a special thankyou to all at joylife for giving us the holiday we had wished for!especially thanku to spiros,makis and marrianna!tash,tazz,lou,lal,and saz x

just want to say hello to those girls from Cardiff who stayed in Alexis pool from the 9/7-16/7...we were yur next door and hopefully we can keep contact!
PS. Sorry about my fd being cocky

My friend and I went to Sidari on the 2nd July and stayed at the Monika Apartments for a week. We were messed around a bit with our rooms but apart from that it was a lovely place to stay, its right next to a canal (which is full of toads that are a little noisy!) and you can see the sea, depending on where you room is. The pool was lovely and so were the staff.
I love Corfu, this was my third time, and Sidari was a really good place to stay. The food was to die for and was also very cheap. There are lots of bars that are brill – watch out for Thomas & Alex in Oh La la, they’re fab!!
Also the jewellery and cigarettes are really cheap – so its well worth a visit just for that!!
I would definitely go back to Sidari – I loved every minute!!!

got back on the 17th july,was the best holiday ever,stayed at the lena studios(kosmar)very clean and roomy,last visited sidari in 1999,yes it has changed,but a holiday is what you make it,as for a filthy beach,b******s blame the smokers using it for a ash tray.sidari,we loved it.

We have just spent a week in Sidari and enjoyed ourselves very much, the resort is very lively and the locals are friendly. Sidari itself is very noisy, not because of clubs but because of the numerous scooters,small bikes and cars very VERY loud stereos ! I wouldn't want to take my small children there as the standard of driving is diabolical and much of the main drag has no pavement, the road is also very narrow. The bars and restaurants we used were mainly very good, I can recommend Baze sports bar (excellent breakfasts, very friendly owners), indian restaurant can't remember the name but it boasts to be the only one that is genuinley Indian, waiters are Greek though......... food and service excellent, also the Venus pool bar, very clean pool.
The beach was good, a trip out on a pedalo is a must to see some of the cliffs, don't get too close though..... they seem to be falling into the sea !
Finally the aprtments where we stayed...... Yannis Village, very clean, everything you need, but too "Hi di hi" for us.

Me and my family are heading to sidari soon for the first time. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the Aspasia apartments, weather they are in a good place and near to everything. Any help would be useful!!!

i would love to speak greak,could anyone HELP?

Just got back from holidaying in Sidari. We had a fantastic time. Our only disappointment was we were informed it was a quite place but this isn't true. There are lots of bars all enticing you in to drink with free shots and 3 nightclubs. However, if you prefer the quieter life you can find some bars both on the main strip and on the sea front where you can enjoy a relaxing quiet evening. We found that we could enjoy whatever evening we wanted. A downside to Sidari is that its very English, so if you are looking for traditional Greek this isn't the place. Saying that, all the Greeks were very friendly and helpful. The beaches are not the best but if you travel around Corfu you will find some beautiful quiet coves and crystal clear sea. Overall, I would go back.

Please take no notice of bad comments with regards to this resort. Yes the beach is a bit dingy but that is it. Just look forwars to your holiday and enjoy!

Before we went to Sidari...there were lots of rumour flowing around tht Sidari is full smelly sewage, bad food, serve noise during at night...however, after a week been there (10-17/7/04), it wasn't a case at all. 5 of us stayed at Alexis pool, the apartment pretty clean and convenient (3mins to beach and 4 mins to high street). Surprisingly there were no noise distribution during at night. The rose restaurant+ Samposis are pretty good. Drinks and ice cream in Champion Bar are cheap! You will find it easy to get the way in there and u will definately easy to reconize ppl faces...(like we met 9 of the welsh girl...lol... anyway, it is a good place to relax and for a hoilday!

WASD GOOD

just want to say hello to the people who will be staying in the Olga II apartments at the same time as we are. we are Charlie and Kathryn 40s, and his children, Connor 11, Hannah 9 and my boy Joshua 6. We arrive on 6.08.04 and look forward to meeting you all.

i would like to say we have been for four years running and we have stayed in three different apartments and all was fine and clean as for rubbish and fag ends who put them on the floor the tourist .in all the four years we have found all the greek very pleasant and only too willing to help we have been back a few weeks and already booked to go in joylife again next year

Cancel last comment I meant we fly on the 23rd July

We fly out there again on the 18th July for 2 weeks.

After going to Sidari for 6th year running I wouldn't say it was a bad place to stay on the contrary, it is was of the friendliest places to go, and the food is the nicest I've tasted and it takes a lot to say that as I'm married to a Chef. The Rose Garden next door to the Champion Bar is a nice place to eat, but the restaurants in the town centre are lovely too. We have stayed at the Lena Appartments every year, very basic but at the end of the day it has all you need.

Well where to start.. just back this morning after "enduring" 10 days in Sidari. Nightmare!

+ points : the food is very reasonably priced and also very good in most cases. Oasis & Athena both excellent and the Texas burgers Helen at Eleni apartments makes were probably the highlight of a long ten days. Cigarettes are cheap as well which was definite plus as I got through more in 10 days there than I would in 10 weeks here I reckon!

The apartments we stayed in (Eleni) were also pretty good by Sidari standards from what we can tell. Aircon, clean comfy room, lovely swimming pool etc. Staff also very nice although having a bar that shuts at 1am regardless was a bit of let down. So was any atmosphere in the place being killed off at 9pm every night to watch a movie :(

That's about as many good points as I can think off.

- points : it's disgustingly filthy everywhere! The beaches are without question horrible and stink. The streets dont appear to ever be cleaned and are littered with rubbish and cigarette butts. Half the place is devoid of pavements of any kind and with the amount of traffic and dimwitted locals & tourists blasting about on everything from quad bikes to cars sometimes at insane speeds for the conditions going for a leisurely stroll at any time of day is simply out of the question.

Shopping in Sidari itself is virtually non existant unless you are after cheap/fake holiday tack and nothing else. Couple of Jewellers and that's about it for anything else.

Nightlife seemed pretty dire as well. Seems too many pubs/clubs and not enough people and just about every pub plays movies at night which just kills the place.

Sidari itself and everywhere around that we went also just appeared so run down. Certainly not a picturesque place to go.

Went on a couple of trips which turned into nightmares as well. A coach trip in 100 degree heat with virtually no aircon and a boat trip that started off so well right up until we went for a beach barbi at "paradise" beach where we were abandoned for over 3 hours to have the barbi where you could eat and drink as much as you liked free. Problem was no toilets (or anything other than stones - not a sand beach), no way off the beach, no warning that you were going to be stuck there for over 3 hours. It was also well over 90 degrees during the hotest part of the day (12:30 ish to 4pm) and with gusting winds that blew crap everywhere!

So would I go back? Not if I was paid and that's the honest truth. I got some cheap smokes, the wife got a good suntan and we were both damn happy to finally land back home this morning (after a 3 hour flight delay and a 4 hour drive).

Back to Sharm El Shiek next time I reckon as that place has everything Corfu wishes it had.

Neil.

hi anyone,
Myself and hubby and 10yr old daughter going to sidari garden village in August, heard loads of reviews which do seem quite good after the bad reputation it was supposed to have.
I've been searching on the internet for pictures of sidari garden village, anyone got any, can they email them to me
ta

Hi Dave

Just to let you know that the Bungy Ball is no longer there. It was an absolute eyeshore on the landscape of Sidari anyway. I personally won't miss it. Can I just comment on the information about the bars and nightclubs for our families going to Sidari. Some of them may be open all night but not all. They have by law to shut their doors by a certain time to keep the noise down. The opposite end to Canal
D'Amour, Megali Beach is also another quieter end of Sidari.

Hi Dave,
Thankyou for agreeing on the "reps rip you off"!
Very sorry to hear about what happened to you regarding your trip!

I didn't feel I had to explain (as I'd typed so much anyway, but thankyou for taking the time to read what I wrote!) the in's and out's of booking with other companys ie: checking for insurance/certificates etc, most people would ask anyway!

THE BEACHES IN SIDARI ARE DISGUSTING. HIRE A CAR A GO TO KASSIOPI, WE DID. THEY ARE SMALL CLEAN AND VERY QUIET AND GREAT FOR SNORKELLING.

Hi All

Going to sidari for the first time on the 23rd July, Staying at the zafaris apatments.

Can anyone tell me the best places to visit?
Is there much for a 12 year old to do as she can get very bored??

Where are the best places to eat, shop etc???Thanks fro any help

Sue

going 2 sidari on 18/7/04.first time abroad .whats the rating for studio apartments? is it good for 16 year olds and any tips or good ideas on where 2 go?

Hannah, your appartments are about a 2 min walk into town, directly opposite the beach, great location and the noise from town wont keep you awake. plenty to do during the day and at night.

Lou, as for your comments with the 'ripping off' and tours from opertators, i totally agree with you in some respects as the will do tours to close by places, much cheaper to do it on ur own, with regards to insurancce and local companies, all im gonna say is WRONG, watch out some of them are cowboys, and i had a case last year where a trip booked locally went completely wrong and there is nothing ur rep can do to help (their boss wont let them) They are not all insured regardless of what they say, asked to see certificates and for things such a scuba diving, ask to see their licences, better to know before you go that everything is safe and legal.

evening all,
i was a holiday rep in sidari last year, it is a fantastic place to base yourself whether you are looking for a lively active holiday or a relaxing time there really is something for everyone.
Starting at the BP garage end of sidari (roda / airport side). As you come into Sidari you will approach a few bars and restaurants, a fantastic Indian, Spiros the owner is very friendly and will cook anyting you request. The chinese just along the road is fantastic to. You then come to the water park well hmmm its got 2 or 3 slides really not worth the visit, how ever the trips to the aqua park (nr corfu town) are and well worth the money, it has heaps to do, the pirates boat is fantastic fun as is the new wave pool (well new last yr) you've got tyhe lazy river to chill out on or for the more adventurous the kamakazi (girls dont wear a bikini and guys keep the legs crossed). you get food and drink there to its not to expensive but you can take your own picnic to plenty of sunbeds and they dont charge you for them. ok so back to sidari, you then hit the main street, at the crossroads next to McD's. Just before McD's you have the best mexican in the village, you must try it good food and not expensive. to the right you have the little port and some fish restaurants, to the left the bypass of the main street and that leads to the car park and footie pitches or straight on for the fun and entertainment. To start with you have your shops, supermarkets, tourist tack shops, clothes shops and plaes to buy trips. further up you have some of the best bars and nightclubs. Try SHAKERS with big screen tvs, movies, sports and the best music its the best bar by far, even has a play park at the back for the kids. Family fun in to the early hours, not to mention endless drinking games and table and bar top dancing, the dj was a young english lad called ben who will quite happily play requests and the greek barmen are the lady killers! hehe this is where all the reps party down to, it also does good food all day. Last year there was 3 night clubs all of which offer good music and are very busy but not till later on considering the pubs are open all ours. Opposite shakers is a bungy ball which is a must for after dinner and sevral drinks, can you hold on to your stomach!!! There is every bar on this street for everyone whether you watn, quiet, relaxing, comfy, loud, music, videos, soaps, locals, food, disco dancing, drinking competitions anything all within a 2 min walk, not to mention foam parties, toga parties everything.
THe beach is alright but not the best (the main beach) if you head round to canal d'amore you will find loads of litle beaches, in bays with golden sand. you will prob get your own bay if your are up early enough. The canal d'amore is a much quieter area of sidari with bars and restaurants. This are is more family orientated but still and enjoyable night out. If you have a free evening be sure to jump in a taxi and ask to go to paradise beach, ust before sunset, paradise beach is a place with the best view ever. As the sun sets you can enjoy dinner at the panormaic restaurant or a quiet drink on the cliff over looking the beach, bout 150ft below u. The view looks onto three islands where the sun sets over them and jsut gives you that tingly feeling down your back, its like something out of the movies. A must see and a really romantic place as well. Great beach during the day to fantastic waves. You must also go to Corfu town be it by bus the loacal bus service is not to bad, not guaranteed to arrive but when it does it will take you to the right place. Do corfu town at night, take in some shopping and do dinner the atmosphere is fantastic, the little streets and shops will keep you entertained for hours. Tour opertaors do trips down by boat which is a fantastic way to see a bit of the island. My advice would be to take a taxi back home, prob gonna cost about 30 euros but means your are not tied for time and corfu town doesnt shut down till after midnight anyway. Cant remember anything else that you guys have asked but will go and have a look and come back to you. If you have any questions give me a shout i'll see what i can do. Oh you can also walk to roda from sidari, its is a good hike but you can do it along the beach front.

just come back from sidari after staying in the "haroula" apartments!
if anybody is staying there, then you shouldn't have any complaints. the only complaint people might have is that it's situated about a mile out of town, we hired bikes from "pink panther" but you might want to try the guy at the end of the road, got brand new mountain bikes in, costs around 30 euros to hire for a week! it's family run, the guys are great, it's exceptionally clean, met some great couples there (hi rob & rachael, sadie & paul, martin & jo.
best places to eat are "mythos" situated at the far end of town, fantastic service, good value for money and the guys (3 brothers) are great fun!. sea breeze another restaurant with not quite the same standards but still very good!
most of the bars and restaurants cater for children in one way or another.
the water park is great for children, it's sup**vised, couple of slides but other than that.....not alot.
we took a taxi to "arilas beach" cost 24 euros there and back, the taxi service is nothing like in britain, when they say there gonna be there they are, pick you up when you want, drop you off when you want!
the beach and sea at arilas was unbelieveable, slighty stoney and then as you go out you can see (hire a pedallo)25 to 30 meters deep, it's that clear!!! (no i'm not joking).
st georges bay is supposed to very good aswell!
we went in 2002 and this year gonna go back in 2006 but hire scooters, it has got a little more commerclised since we were last here but we had a fab time, sun, sea, sand, food, scenery etc!!!
if you want to buy any watches,rings etc go to "midas" they don't rip you off and are very friendly.
one last thing....don't book any tours through your rep (this is where you get ripped off big time,they will tell you different) go into town and book from there, you are still fully covered insurance wise and it's half the price you would pay through your rep!!!!
if anybody has taken the time to read this.....thank you and enjoy your holiday!! p.s doesn't hurt to try and speak the lingo!!!

I am off to Sidari with my boyfriend. We are both 20. We are staying at the sidari beach hotel. Are there many things to do in the day time and what is the hotel like? Thanks.

Myself, husband and 16 year old son are flying to Sidari 16/7/04. We are staying at the San George apts. Has anyone any advice/comments.

Thank you

just got back from sidari yesterday.
Had an absolutely fab time. Nightlife is freat would recommend going to Legends bar if you want a laugh. Staff are really friendly (spesh steve)and the dj hillarious! definitely going back next year!

JUST GOT BACK, THE LEGENDS APARTMENTS IN MY OPINION ARE THE BEST IN SIDARI. VERY CLEAN, ROOMS CLEANED EVERY OTHER DAY. POOL / BAR AREA EXCELLANT. STAFF ARE SUPERB, PHOTO'S IN JMC BROCHURE DO NOT DO JUSTICE. SHORT WALK INTO MAIN TOWN BUT FAR ENOUGH AWAY.HOWEVER A LOT OF ROAD NOICE IF YOUR APARTMENT IS ON ROADSIDE, ONLY 4 ROOMS OUT OF ABOUT SEVENTY HAVE A POOL VIEW. ENTERTAINMENT MANAGER, PAUL FROM YORKSHIRE IS A GOOD LAUGH BUT CANNOT SING. THE DESPERATE DAN BREAKFAST IS EXCELLANT FOR 4 EUROS. 2 LARGE PROJECTOR SCREENS IN BAR AREA SHOW GOOD FILMS EVERYDAY, AND SPORT IF ANY ON.
WOULD RECOMMEND GOING TO THE CHINA TOWN CHINESE RESTAURANT, IT IS OWNED BY THE LEGENDS OWNER, YOU GET 10% DISCOUNT AND FOOD IS BEST IVE HAD OUTSIDE ENGLAND.
BEACH IS A LARGE TOILET!!!!!!!! HIRE A CAR A GO TO KASSIOPI, PEBBLE BEACH BUT GREAT FOR SNORKELLING, I COULD FEED FISH FROM MY HAND.

to fiona, the nightlife is excellent not been to marinas appartments but from what I know (i've been going to Sidari for 5 years) everywhere is great, there's plenty to do for the over 12's food is great and you get plenty of it.
enjoy your hols, we go on 23rd July

I have just come back from Sidari and had a great time.
We stayed in the Beach Star Appartments which were excellent. The staff in the bar area make your holiday. They are so polite and just want you to relax and have agreat time. if you go say hello to Anthony and Anthe, they are the nicest people you will meet, they are so helpful and always cheerful, they work so hard.
The beach was a bit smelly and I don't think I would have gone it, there is a waste pipe going into the sea at one point.
Don't give the old guy with the donkey any money,(he sits opposite McDonalds)heuses the money for fags and booze.
Belores serves good food and plenty of it, but I did prefer Buddies,although it is a long walk in that heat, so take your time if you do visit, but it is worth it. If you do go have a look in some of the supermarkets on the way there. We found some bargains such as inflatables and handbags. Don't plan on buying your perfume from Corfu or the airport in Corfu it is as expensive if not more expensive than home. The duty free shop at Corfu Town airport is not up to much either, shop at the airport at home for perfumes, and the shops on the Island are just as cheap as the airport.
But whatever you do have agood time, sit relax, soak up the sun and let the world go by. How I envy you.

We came back from Sidari 21st June and have to say the holiday was a lot better than we thought it was going to be, we had a fab time! We stayed at the Angelinas Apartments, they were really clean and our apartment was quite spacious compared to where are friends stayed. There was a few bars we really liked, The Lemon bar, the bar staff in here are great and we also had some good nights at Theo's and Billy's another good bar is Calypso. As for the clubs we seemed to spend most of our time in Faros which is right next to Lemon bar, the other two clubs Mint and Ceasers seemed to be a bit on the quiet side but these seemed to liven up in the second week we were there. I would reommend Pancho's as a great place to eat if you like Mexican food, it was lovely! All in all we had a great holiday and we will definatley be returning!

We came back from Sidari on Saturday.
This place is lovely. Its great for young and old alike.
We stayed at the Beach Star Apartments which were really nice.
I didnt go on the beach but i walked past it every night. Its not your typical beach but you can hire a sunlounger on there. I didnt choose to go on it though.
The nightlife is great, you can have it as wild or as peaceful as you like. For food i Suggest Boleros which is on the main strip. Here you get good portions of really good food and great service.
I also suggest Buddies. Its right at the other end of the strip. If you stand facing McDonalds and take the road to your left and walk for about 10 mins you will stumble across it. Food here is really nice. They could improve on the service though maybe with a smile?! but its worth it for the food.
As for shopping... there are a few bargins to be had!
DO NOT BUY JEWELLERY FROM CORFU TOWN YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF! instead buy your jewellery from Midas on the main strip in Sidari.
I assure you that you will get a bargain. The ladies in this shop are lovely and honest and will not rip you off. I really suggest you go here.
Do not buy your trips out from your tour operator you will get ripped off. You can buy the same trips from the travel agents on the main strip in Sidari and they are much cheaper. You can go to Corfu Town on a air con coach for 5euros return.

Would i go back to Sidari? Yes!

I am hoping to go to Sidari with my 4 children on 11th October 2004 for 1 week, first time on my own with the children,and am concerned as to what the weather is like there at that time of year. Also will there still be plenty of things for the children to do and is entertainment usually still on in the resort complexes? We will be staying at the San George appartments. Can anyone give me advice please as I need to confirm my booking asap. Many thanks

We had a fantastic holiday in Sidari a couple of years ago and our apartment was set back from the rest, which made it nice an quite for us!

We've going again the Friday (2nd July 2004) and staying at the "Haroula Apartments!"

If anybody has any comments (good or bad) please let me know.

Many Thanks

Lou

We have been going to Sidari for the past 5 years and I'm telling you now it is a really nice place. We stay at the Lena Appartments which is situated near the Three Little Pigs just behind The Champion Bar. It is ideal for couples who like a quiet time and it is only 5minutes into the Town so you have the best of both worlds.Please give it a try you won't be disappointed I promise,

sidari is great, anyone would have a great time there, anyone going there for the first time go to bolero

A group of 8 of us (4 adults and 4 children aged 6, 6, 3 and 9 months) stayed at the Cristina Apartments at the quieter end of town, in the first week in June, which was lovely for relaxing by the pool in the day (if you can relax with kids that is!) and really good in the evening when you wanted to sleep. This is the second time we have been here - we stayed 8 years ago when we didn't have the kids. They have daily evening entertainment, quiz, karoke, etc.

The pool area is exceptionally clean and there is a smaller kids pool which was ideal for us. The bar food, both breakfast and lunch is very good and well priced. We didn't eat there in the evening.

Our apartment was one of the older ones, but was well kept and very clean. We had maid service every day, except Sunday.

Owners are exceptionally friendly and will do most things for you, one of us had a birthday during our stay and they were able to arrange a cake for us, which was nice of them.

The best places to eat are the Chinese opposite the fruit stall and the Olympic(or Olympia) at the other end of town. Also, we found the Pizzeria was excellent value for money. We ate there on our last night and wished we been in there earlier - it was a cheapest meal costing only 35 euros and that included drink.

There is a large (in Greek terms)supermarket which sells almost anything. If you have young ones - it does jarred baby food (Nestle) and you can get Pampers and Johnsons baby wipes there - but these are quite expensive approximately 1.5 times our prices at home. They do other brands though.

If you have young children I would recommend taking a buggy for their safety. There are no pavements in Sidari and there is a main road running all through it. The crossroads by McDonalds is dangerous - there is traffic coming from all directions, no-one gives way and no-one stops for you.

Don't bother going on the crazy golf - it's a rip off and smells - we discovered why a little later on through our game - they have a dog chained up round the back and he seems to have done its business on or close to the course. Go carts (also in the same place) don't look safe and are also expensive.

We hired a car through our rep and paid just under £100.00 for 2 days hire of a group c, with insurance and child car seats.

We went into Corfu town - warning get there extremely early as parking is a nightmare. We gave up in the end after trying for about an hour to find somewhere to park and went to Kanoni. It's lovely here, but the roof top restuarant is very windy. You can see the planes come and go here if you like that sort of thing.

We went back to Corfu town the following night by car at arond 6.30 pm and found somewhere to park straight away. I would recommend going to the town at night - it has more of an atmosphere and the shops are great here - this is where we spent alot of money!

We didn't go the beach in Sidari as it was quite a walk and at the other end of town. The weather wasn't too good for the first couple of days and there isn't much to do if it's raining. There is a bowling alley at the other end of town and a few of the bars show kids films in the afternoon and a few have play areas. The bowling alley only has two lanes, and this is usually a wait.

If you can, try to visit Kassiopi - this is a really picturesque harbour town and has loads of shops and places to eat and drink. It's not far from Sidari, but you will need transport.

We also visited Paleo in the day, again by car. It's lovely here and the beach is better than at Sidari. You can hire a boat taxi to take you into the caves to have alook round (we didn't actually do this as the sea was a bit choppy on the day we were there).

If you're prone to being bitten by insects, take loads of spray. I took one with 50% deet included and still got bitten. And make sure you take your mosi plugs for the evenings in your room.

All in all, we did have a great time and would go back again.

i was just wondering if any one reading this had bin to lagoon in sidari, we are flyin out there on the 9th july this yr from norwich air port and i am goin with my best friend! we like a bit of a party ad i was wondering how the pubs and clubs where out there and wot the prices are like please get bk to me soon many thanks amy x x x

cheers anth for beer price
josey there used to be a hard rock cafe at corfu town(if still there)

We just stayed the one week. Really didn't know what to expect but heard tales of it being very "touristy". We actually found it to be very pleasant. It was perfect for my wife as it is very flat and she has trouble with hills etc. We stayed on the edge of Sidari at Takis Apartments. Would recommend the area, the apartment left a lot to be desired. would recommend Symposio, Three Little Pigs and Mythos for main meals and the Rooftop for english breakfast.

Any Rock Bars in Sidari?? OR anywhere in Corfu for that matter - many thanx!!!! xxx

first time too corfu since the euro,so are the rumours true that everything is expensive now?if so whats the price of a pint in euro's?

Despite the fact that the beach was full of human s**t, and toilet roll everywhere it was good! However, by the end of the third day me and my friends had started to smell like actual S**T!#! The smell was so bad that the double glazed windows were no match for it! We felt that the beach still had potential and aloud our children to play in certain areas where s**t was minimal. The only problem we had with the children was when one of them decided to put some waste in their mouth. Other than that, the charm of the place is great and i know i'll definately be returning again, i just hope the s**ts still there for next time, since returning from sidari ive moved onto a farm and ive grown quite fond of the smell!

Me and the girlfriend are going to sidari at the end of August and wanted to know what the nightlife would be like and What the mimosa/markos apartments are like???

Just been to sidari for the first time and we loved it. Stayed at the the Christakis Hotel/Apts which was great. If you're looking for a holiday where you can relax by day and have fun by night then we recommend Sidari. The local beach was great, restarants and bars to cater for all, Cactus Jacks and the Margaritas were fab and Fagans did the best breakfast (unbelievable) Great Cocktails at Theo and Billys and if you want something a little more family orientated then head towards the bars and restuarants by the Canal d'amour.

going back to sidari on monday, cant wait.

I have been to Sidari for the last 2 years and i'm flying out there again on the 28th June. Can't wait! Sidari is a gorgeous place an i'd recommend it to any age. 18 this year an i'm out for a good time!

My boyfriend and I have just come back from Sidari and we absolutely loved it!
We stayed in the Olive Grove and it was fantastic. Yanni and Katrini are both great fun and their 4yr old daughter is very amusing!
We would recommed to anyone thinking about going to book into the Olive Grove. Great apartments, ideal location and just an all round fantastic holiday.
You have to try the Roof Garden and Rose garden the food is the best!!
The Red Lion pub is English run so they know how to entertain! But generally most of the bars are good fun!

can anyone tell me what the georges apartments are like in Roda? I have booked a holiday leaving in 3 weeks and I would like some info before I leave. what is Roda like?

My boyfriend and I are just back from a week in Sidari. We stayed at the Summertime Apartments (very clean and spacious) which are in the Canal D'Amour area of the resort, and in my opinion the nicest bit - although all of it is very nice indeed, but a slower pace of life I thought (getting too old to party all night I'm afraid - those days are long gone!!) There's something to suit all tastes at this resort. Found a lovely little restaurant on our last night there called 'Marianella's', about 5 mins walk from Canal D'Amour towards Peroulades - beautiful!

Hi, I just got back from Sidari last Saturday there and thought it was brilliant!!! The weather is just starting to heat up now. It is such a friendly little place and you will not be disappointed with the pubs and clubs. By day it is a lovely, relaxed, friendly placed to be but by night it all changes and it is party time!!! I was over for a week and had such a great time that I'm heading back in the summer for another holiday!!
If you're a lover of cocktails then your in for a treat!!!!

We went to Sidari as a couple, and it is mainly couples who were there. Having done the clubby resorts since I was 17 (now 23) Sidari is much quiter than anywhere else. It livens up about 1am and has 2 nightclubs. Probably best for a weeks clubbing but not for two.
Canal d'amour is worth a visit, we paid for the sun loungers there as it is so nice and quite.
Really enjoyed Sidari for a relaxing holiday. Not much for children to do if the weathers bad however. It rained twice when we were there in May.

We are thinking of going to Corfu, Sidari. The Yannis village complex. Can any one advise What Sidari is like and the Yannis Village complex. Is Sidari clean as I have heard that Kavos is terrible.

Hi,me and my mates (all 17-18 girls) are going to Sidari in august and we were wondering how lively it is? we do kinda prefer the bar scene to the clubs but we would probably want to go to kavos or something a couple of nights as i hear thats the lively place. How far is Sidari from Kavos or anywhere else with BIG nightlife! email me on foxycherrie@hotmail.com if you can. thanks lots! bye xxx

to be honest i would take your own with you if you could i took my 6 month old but i took my own with me hope this helps

hi joanne
try value plus car hire i see from there other side they do wedding
the or email address is valueplus@aias.gr according to there site they do wedding planning

hope this helps

laura ,the local bus service to Corfu town from Sidari is an experiance in its self,it is quite picturesque journey ,up and down the hills and local villages, the buses are about every 2 hours from sidari and the journey takes about an hour, iam not sure of the fare,last bus leaves Corfu at 1930hrs sharp,give your self agood half hour wait for the bus as they get quite busy

hi try value plus they are brill read comments on other pages

The angelinas apartments are in the canal d’amour area, the pool and bar are very clean and the angelinas restaurant serves good food. The beach is a short walk from the apartments & sidari’s main street is about five minutes walk.
Laura young.

we have been going for four years and i have never seen a Cockroache
but there are a lot of mosqitos so beware of them ,i always use lavender last year people were geting loads of bites and i only had a few but someone says start taking vitamin b two weeks before you go
and they dont bite

we always go in the middle the weather always brill last year we had a heat wave too hot watch out for the mosqitos they are alive in sidari

message for elaine
yes you go up the mountains and tight bends but this is our fourth time so not that bad .plenty of places sell english food try alkion hotel near three little pigs there meals are good.hope you like sidari my little boy loves it .the people are so friendly .hope you enjoy your holiday

HI Graham the zafiris studios and apartments are in the canal d,amour end and is a great place to stay the staff are great there i stayed there last june they have good food at the pool and at the bar the saxophone which is owned by zafiris management jast ask for dimitri
all so you eat at maria which is at the bottom of the road near the beach yes its worth a car for a couple of days visit sunset beach and watch the sun go down and a good meal for trips go and see philip vlasseros in the town he will help you with lots of things
iam going back in june just cant wait
have a great holiday

The Theodosia aopartments are down the beaten track but set away form the busy main road that becomes quite busy and noisy in the high season. The rooms are basic but comfortable, with a large pool and great pool bar serving drinks throughout the day and night. Its not too fat to walk to the restaurants or bars and certainly nice to sit back relax and soak up the sun....Enjoy

Sian J ::;

Maria's apartments are situated in the Canal D'amour area.
I havent stayed in the apartments but the restaurant attached to the apartments is really good and they provide excellent entertainment.

Joanne MCCathy ::::

I havent stayed @ the legends apartments but spent a lot of time there in 2002... legends has a really nice pool and the food is very nice as well.

The only down side is it can be a bit noisy at night as you are at the bottom of a main road !!!!!1

Also whatis the buses like and how long would the journey be on bus to Corfu town?

Thanks again.

We went to Sidari in May last year and we had a fantastic holiday. The main beach isn't up to much however we were staying near to the Canal d'amour which was much nicer.
We tended to stay around the Canal d'amour at night seen as we fell in love with the Saxaphone bar and the Three Little Pigs restaurant, both of which deliver great entertainment and service all night!
We are definitely planning to go back however recommend Zafiris Studios and Apartments which we challenge you to fault! With excellent greeting from all the staff, fantastic service all holiday long and friendships formed that will last a lifetime, we thoroughly enjoyed Sidari!

I am going to Sadri (Corfu)for two weeks in August and i'm staying in "Ostria Apartments" can anyone out there give me an idea of what the apartments are like and the area

To Neil
The Goudelis Apartments are situated on the outskirts of Sidari and although I havent stayed there, have heard good reports. Your friends will have to take things like hairdryers. Apartments and most hotels are basic accommodation and dont supply these. If you require any further info on Sidari in general please email caroline.langley@northlindsey.ac.uk.

To Vera
We have stayed at the Astoria Hotel. We had no complaints. The rooms though basic are clean. Maid even remade the beds. The Astoria is a well established hotel situated on Sidari High Street. The only complaint may be the noise at night and all inclusive which some people dont like. The Astoria bar is at the front of the hotel, the entrance to the side and a large restaurant to the back then sun loungers and straight into the sea. Sally and Vassilis are lovely hosts. Sally is English so you wont have a problem with language. It is a family run hotel and they will do their best to make your stay a happy one. Hope this helps.

to Aileen Boyle been before going back in a month, will be relatively hot but not unbearable. fine walking around without discomfort.
Love Sidari cant wait to go back. check out Theo and Billys bar and check out Costa the barman, however if your a footie fan i would strongly advise not letting him get hold of your shirt. it will be mounted on the wall.

Amy, we have just booked through First Choice for the Olive Grove. Try them.

to anybody thinking about travelling to sidari my advise is do not hesitate i am retuning for a third rime in seven years with friends and family. i first went with my daughter only aged four months and have returned with children aged eighteen months through to eighteen years there is somthing for everyone with all tastes and requirements. the people could not be more welcoming and always aim to please. we are looking forward to returning again in july.

To hannah, thanks very much for kat's address.
Lots of people are saying they are staying at olive grove, siadri this summer, can anyone tell me how they booked as all my local travel agents have taken them off their systems!
By the way olive grove is definately the place to stay, barbeque night is excellent!

Excellent complex with large apartments overlooking sea and pool.Maid service every day with towels every 3 days. All inclusive great with large selection of buffet and seperate kid's buffet.Poolside snack bar with pizza,chips,toasties,ice-cream and slush.Lots of activities, but don't stay for the Hypnotist Show...very rude ex-pat with a foul mouth!Greek staff excellent and very friendly...Reps average.Sidari town short walk away with lots of shops,restaurants,bars and clubs...beware of gypsies at sunset hard-selling trinkets..mainly to your children!Beach very sandy..sea shallow and calm. Lots of pedalos,no noisy speedboats.Transfer from airport approx 1 hour..if you don't know about Greek bus drivers...hold on for a roller-coaster ride over the mountains!!Will definitely go back to Sidari Village Hotel.

I am going to Sidari in Late June,could anyone tell me if there are any bars with childrens play areas.

There is 4 of us looking to go away for 2 weeks in july. I have been given a good price at the Apartments Yannis Village in Sidari. We are looking for nice beaches, good night life, good food, good shops an some good trips out. Would it be a good idea to book this holiday.

We're going to Sidari next month, staying at the Astoria Hotel. Anyone been there? What was it like? I've heard very mixed opinions....please help!!

For good food try the Rose Garden next door to the Champion Bar, excellent, friendly, for trips you can book at Vlasseros Travel in the town center, good value for money, also you can change your mon ey there.

My husband and I have been going to the Lena Appartments for the last 5 years, we have never had a bad holiday there and the people couldn't be nicer, if you want a good night out the town center is the answer, there are many night spots to visit.

To sandra george, email me at vickico11inson@aol.com and i can share any info you need on Sidari Village

We are also staying at the socrates for two weeks from 26th july.we went to sidari two years ago and had a brilliant time. we didn't stay at the socrates but know it is in an ideal location. you must try the three pigs and the escape bar. Both are exellant.

We stayed at Mariana Apartments 3 years agoand absolutely loved it...we would like to return but have been unable to find in any holiday brochures...how do we book a stay at Mariana Apartments?

Thanks

We're booked into the Socrates Apartments in late July 2004 and wondered if anyone has stayed there recently. We have a 2 bedroom and studio. Also interested in car-hire as we'd like to look around the island.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Sandra

If you email me on caroline.langley@northlindsey.ac.uk
I will send you some information.
Caroline

Amy, i worked for Kat at the Olive Grove for some of last summer, i will try and get some details for you. Have you tried writing? it may take a while but here is the address anyway: Katerina, Oh La La bar, 49081, Sidari, Corfu. Greece. i will try to get more details so keep checking this site

I am going to Sidari in Corfu on 31st May 2004. We are staying in Sadari Gardens Village. We have two children aged 13 and 8. Please could you tell me what the resort is like and the accommodation. Thanks

we are coming to the hotel sellas any info would help
cheers flloyd

Over the last 2 years my partner and i have made good friends with yiannis & katerina at olive grove, sidari. We promise them each year to come back and see them but we have misplaced their e-mail address so cant book direct with them. All travel agents i have been to see dont have them on their systems. Has anyone got any ideas on how i can get back to the place i love to pieces?

My husband and I will be traveling to Corfu in beginning of September with a 14-month old baby. What are the best child-friendly locations to stay at on Corfu? Any specific hotel/apartments recommendations? Would prefer to stay closer to beach and walking distance to tavernas, markets, etc.
Thanks, Tatyana

To Denise O'Toole
I only know the Olive Grove Apartments which are situated at the Canal d'Amour end of Sidari.It could be a new one for this year. There is plenty of night life for your 21 and 18 year olds, and plenty to do for 10 years olds especially if they like water sports. There is also a water park. Plenty of Restaurants & Bars including a McDonalds. Corfiots love children so you wont have a problem there. It is quite safe. As you are going in September it is much quieter than July and August, so the resort won't be quite as bustling. We usually go in June and October. Accommodation as always in Greece is basic but clean. The beaches at some points arent so good, but the Canal D'Amour area is probably the best. If you feel up to it, hire a car for a few days and explore the island you will find some lovely deserted beaches and friendly tavernas to visit. This year we will have been visiting for 8 years, twice a year, and although things have changed quite a lot, we have made many friends in Sidari and consider it our home from home. It is not the Corfiots that are normally the problem. Some tourists expect too much. Its the tour operators that make the money and you'd be surprised how little hotel and apartment owners actually get. Hope this helps.

The Angelinas apartments are situated at the Canal D Amour area of Sidari. Although I havent stayed there, there are favourable comments on the following link www.holiday-truth.com.
As for excursions, DONT use the tour operator it will cost you an arm and a leg. Use Vlasseros Travel which is in the middle of Sidari High Street opposite The Three Brothers Hotel. You cant miss it as he has red telephone boxes inside. I would recommend the Island Tour by coach. It is a wonderful way to see the whole of Corfu and different resorts. He has tours of all kinds by boat and coach and you will be spoilt for choice. I hope this helps.

We have booked a holiday to the Ektor appartments for two weeks. We are taking our 2yr old daughter with us. Has anybody got any comments about the apartments, resorts and what there is to do in Corfu. We will by hiring a car so any comments about that will be appreciated.
jane@swanston99.fsnet.co.uk

i will be staying in sidari at "Angelinas Apartments" has anyone stayed there and can tell me how they rated it, this would be much appreciated!!!!! Also does anyone know of any excursions that you could recommend?? Many thanks!!!

I worked in Sidari last year, it has every thing that you could want from a resort. It has something for everyone. Oh La La bar is a must kids and adult love it, all the bars are wicked and children friendly. The restaurants are all good, and they offer a wide variety of foods.

I am booked to go to Sidari in September with my family. We are taking a 21 year old, an 18 year old and two 10 year olds. I have had mixed feed back on the resort. Olso, has anyone stayed at the Olive Tree apartments, if so, what are they like? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to Sidari last September and October and fell in love with the Emerald Isle! I was offered a job with horses for this summer which for me is my dream job so ive given up the rat race of the 9-5 job and im off to live my dream so if there are any horse lovers out there why don't you come and visit me at the Kostas Ranch in Roda i will be working there from April through to October taking beach rides out daily. The treks are approx 2 hours long at a walking pace along the beautiful coastline. We cater for experienced and inexperienced riders. You can book through the travel shops in Sidari and Roda main streets. So why don't you make this a holiday to remember and try something different im sure you will have a great time and maybe all your dreams might come true!

Have been looking into going to Sidari for a second year in a row. Last year I stayed at the Christakis and really like the location. The two places that seem to be coming up when I'm trying to book a deal are the Vasso apparts and Haroula apparts. Does anyone know where theses are situated in the resort?

Sidari is an amazing resort with all the nightlife of kavos without all of the young drunken yobs ruining the fun. Restaurants great and reasonably priced!

I have booked a holiday in Sidari at the Mega Idri Apartments, I cannot get any pictures or information from travel operator, please can you send location plus pictures or has anyone been.
Need to know, expect from friends who have been to the area the holiday will be fab but just need some information.

I`m going to spend my family vacation on Corfu in June this year. We just booked hollidays in Angela Beach hotel. I cannot find in internet any information about this hotel and its beach. This hotel is placed probably between Roda and Sidari somewhere near Karoussades but just by the sea and its own beach. Travel agency has got only three pictures of this hotel. Has somebody seen this hotel and can tell me more about it and the neighbourhood (especially beach of course)?

ALEXIA PALM GROVE WAS A VERY FRIENDLY ENVIROMENT BUT THE BATHROOM'S WERE A BIT OF A state and when you have had a few drinks you dont want to walk up marble stairs to get to your apartment!!! very hard to get the cleaner in we had to ask twice before she changed our sheets. very hot in the summer mid july. there are fans avalible to hire in the main street as there is no air con and be very cafull what you put in you fridge as of the big ants and other big friendly things. flying insects are a bit of a problem but a bit of repelant will sort it out. make sure you take the repent in a plug they come in handy there is quite alto of noise there as they are by a main road and when we were there we had a man selling water mellons at 6.00am ????? the beach is a 15min walk and they dont take much pride in the state of sadiri.there is a water park not to far away and if you talk to your rep they try and sell you vists dont go walk down the main street all the way to vassoraus travel a friendly comany was recomended by a friend to me and when i got there it was very good and very cheep about 13euros (£10 about) for a full day out food was good and lots of places to eat so enjoy if you go there!!

Could you send me a picture of the Kanali Appts in Canal D'Amor, Sidari, as I am hopefully looking to go there this year.
Thanks.
Bev James.

I am going on holiday for the first time with my family with children aged 12, 10 and 12. I will be staying in the Sidari Villiage - 2 bed apartment on 4th June 2004.

Please can anyone let me know what this apartment is like. Whether it is children friendly and what is the food, drink etc is like. We are going all inclusive.

Thank you for your valued comments.

I had the best ever holiday in Corfu this year staying at The Tondoris apartments. Part of the apartments is Planet Pool Bar, a fantastic place to chill out during the day, prices are good and staff are fab - especially Stephan!!! Good place for food nearby is Fagin's (love to Vinny) and in town try Faros, Palazzo, Shakers, Premier and IQ and of course the best club in town MINT!!!!
Be back there this summer - can't wait!

WE HIRED A JEEP TO SEE SOME OF THE GREEK CULTURE,WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR HOLIDAY AND WILL BE GOING BACK YEAR AFTER YEAR.

as a bar and a restaurant owner in sidari,i think i can anwser some questions better than most!Firstly sidari is a resort for young,old,couples and families.Theres lots of lively bars and 3 clubs.We have a wide variety of restaurants ranging from Mexican,Indian,Chinese and of course traditional Greek cuisine!!!The main beach is nice,although dosnt look so good in May and October as it tends to rain more then!The sea is really clear and blue,esp around the canal damour area.Agood point for families is that its shallow too.Although Sidari isnt the prettiest part of the island,it still has its charm and is still uncommercialised.so dont be put off by the bad reports,i came here on holiday 11 years ago and im still here!!!!

We have been going to Sidari for the past 7 yrs and love it the only draw back is the street lighting and lack of pavements along the main strip at nite especially when a coach goes by , i would recommend a buggy for the under 5's these can be hired cheaply from mountain mania opposite theo and billies.the beaches at the canal d mour end r excellent for familys as they are very shallow and no waves most of the bars have the latest movies during the day if the heat gets too much do remember to take all insurance documents with u not just the booklet with policy no in as they will not accept this and if like us you have an accident you will have to pay the doctor b4 leaving the surgery and £120 for 3 stiches is quite a hefty sum if on a budget!!!!

I am booked to go to Sidari in Sept 04 with my family, we are taking two 10 year olds, an 18 year old and a 20 year old. We are staying at the Olive Tree apartments. We have had mixed feed back on Sidari can anyone help me with what and where they recommend

go to fagins say hi to viny the greek p**v lol

Anyone been to the Stema 2 apartments in Sidar. We've booked for 1st 2 wks in June and have 2 kids, 10 and 6. Could anyone tell us about the pool as there was no picture in the brochure, and also how long it is to walk to the bars and restaurants. Have heard mixed views on the resort and am a bit worried to say the least, especially about the beach!!
If anyone would like to email me details to: thelanes.1@btopenworld.com

sidari is the best holiday we have ever had.we have been back 3 times so far and have booked again for july 04.we have stayed at both sides of the resort but this time we are smack bang in the middle at garnavos apts.

weather -- scorching (always)
greek locals-- friendly excellent
food-- massive portions tasty & cheap
drink--massive measures & cheap
accomodation--basic but its only to sleep there at the end of a relaxing day
entertainment--whatever u want to see or do
definitely a hol for couples.

it can be as busy or as quiet as you want it to be.
at the end of the day its hot,cheap,relxing and better than being at work and rip off britain

all the bad comments off people are a load of tripe they wouldnt know a good holiday if it hit them on the face..

cee ya yamas!

i'll start by saying corfu is a beautiful island. but sidari is a mosquito infested rat hole suited to bone heads and there fat slapper girl freinds. normal people give this rip off paradise a wide berth.

p.s the weather was s**te as well(oct)

For anyone thinking of going to Corfu or Sidari - think again.
I almost cried when i stepped of the plane, it looked like something out of a war zone.
The Travel agents or there rep's were of no use and were not intrested.
The last night we were there, all the holiday reps had a punch up - half of the reps by this time and handed in there notices!
How people can say they enjoyed it? enjoyed what exactly???

Not for families and young children. But if you want to drink from 10am and watch Sky sport all day then this if for you. Sidari is one street, full of bars, restaurants and shops selling the usual rubbish.
If the weather is good, the kids will be happy by the pool or on the beach, but in the evenings or if the weather is bad you will be hard pushed to find anything suitable for young children. The bars not showing sport seem to think it wise to show films like "Freddy Vs Jason" at 3pm on a wet and windy afternoon. A week is more than long enough, if you don't hire a car, there are plenty of trips to go on to escape Sidari, but don't book with Vlassos Travel (opposite 3 Brothers Hotel), the price they advertise outside is never what you pay once you get through the door, an extra 4 euros is always added per person for "transfer". We used Alkinoos Travel, the price they advertise is the price you pay, they picked up on time and were very good in general.

my husband and I stayed in Sidari wasn't keen on Sidari itself but was an ideal base to get about.we stayed at waves studio just around the corner you were in the real greece with nice taverners and lovely walks.

Lucy - I would definitely recommend Sidari as a place to go in Corfu! I went with a friend, but there was loads of couples - young and old! There are pubs, restaurants and a few clubs that if you feel like going to you can!

I have just come back from Sidari with my friend and we didn't like it at all. The accomodation we had booked was terrible and we had to be moved. We didn't find Sidari attractive at all, with poor quality restaurants. The shops were all very tacky and as for smelly bridge!!! horrible. We have come back more stressed and tired than when we went. We didn't think much of the flight either with very little leg space. We might as well have gone to Blackpool. it was just so geared up for the English. My advise is don't go!!!!/

Dear Seleena
We are going to Sidari on 20th Oct, staying at Hawaii Apartments. We're busy waxing at the moment and can't wait for Monday!! Where will you be staying? Have you been before? Hope you have a great time and might bump into you at some point?

Liz & Jo (aka Patsy and Eddie)

just got back from sidari on the 13th. had a great time and am now in the throws of producing some marketing for sidari and the surrounding areas. bars, cafes etc.

i would greatly appreciate any pictures of sidari that people may have as it will be great to have as much input and variety of experience from people who have visited the resourt as possible.

my girlfriend and myself went for a week and stayed at 'summertime' which proved to be a lovely self catering apartment with 2 swimming pools, although i must admit we spent more time in the sea.

rather than writing a long essay here i think it's best i just make some points to considder if visiting etc. if anyone wishes to contact me for more info then please feel free. or wants more details on the soon coming sidari web site... (rob@solararts.co.uk)

firstly:-
scuba diving,
if you're a qualified novice or openwater diver then avoid the 'fun diving' dive shop in sidari. although i had a relatively univentful and interesting dive to 29meters in san george, the owner of the center refused to re-emberce me for a broken fin of which i purchased 2 sets at his shop the day before. he also treats the staff (girl) who works in the shop like s**t. you cant miss him, he's got a shaved head and drives a vw. very arrogant.

snorkling,
if you're going to be doing any snorkling around canal d'amour then be sure to wear some fins (flippers) as there are alot of currents in the area which for some could be unnerving and possibly disorientating.
- sidari main beach is no good for snorkeling in sidari as it's purely sand up to 1 mile out.
- beach opposite summertime apartments is good for snorkeling though. the rocks harbour a variety of marine life and i can say from sight that there are moray eels about and they're a beauty to watch.
- paleocastritsa is full of life and is possibly the best place for snorkling or diving on the island. the water is much colder here though due to the rocks, clear water and gentle currents that flow into the bay.

paleocastritsa,
a place everyone should visit. exceptionally scenic but would advise against a coach trip there unless you have no option as most of the time will be spent stopping at local shops which are all of a muchness. use hire car, mopeds or taxi and you'll have a much better time.

tour operator-
we flew with air 2000 and i've never heard so many people bitterly complaining about lack of leg room. i must say i was fine with leg room until the plane took off and the midget infront of me decided to recline her chair. i'm 6ft and i had difficulties even touching the floor. it was a disgrace.

aside from these points, you cant really go wrong with sidari. it's the med on your doorstep. out of season though you may find there's not a lot to do as most of the trips dont operate. we just made it in time and were able to do the bbq on a remote beach in paleocastritsa.

- - - - the river of s**t really does hum! but that black and white dog seems to find fishing in it highly entertaining along with a few other tourists who also seemed to find it pleasurable to buy fishing rods from local shops and fish in the muck.. cant say it's worth it to be honest. if you want to fish do it off the pier.

- - - - the food is quality! would just say to watch out for the lasagne as they make it with polenta which may not be to everyones taste. (little bland)

also, to the two girls on our flight wearing horns - cheer up and stop fighting! lol ;)

Hi, me and my boyfriend are thinking of going to Corfu for a week in May next year. We want a resort that has plenty of bars and restaurants but not loads of nightclubs (sounds like im getting boring but just want a "coupley" holday with plenty of choice of things to do!) Can anyone suggest a resort?

Came back from Sidari on 10th Oct, had a wonderful time, maybe the weather could have been a bit better, nightlife is fantastic, whatever your age, something for everyone.
Can anyone help, trying to find a contact number, e-mail for a Polish guy we met out there, his name is Lucas and if you met him you would certainly remember, he lives in England, Boston - Yorkshire I think, anyway he took loads of phot's and we're hoping to get some copies.
Also anyone have a contact e-mail for Napolian, owner of a couple of restaurant/bars in Sidari
Thanks

Dont hire a car through your rep, they will bump the price up and pocket the difference. There's so many hire shops in Sidari so be sure to shop around and make sure you get full insurance cover.
We were quoted 23.00 euros a day for a small Fiat and 36 euros a day for a Suzuki jeep.

to jancie partridge we are also flying out to corfu on the 17th october to sidari, have been told that value plus is very good for car hire and excursions. might see you there

Can anyone tell me good place to hire car from. Am flying to Corfu - Sidari on 17th OCtober.
Thanks.

i'm of to Sidari, Corfu on the 20th October and have been warned about the Taxi fares to & from the airport can anyone help???

I Think that that Annette that has just come back from Sidari
is talking a load of crap if she didn't get on with the greeks she must have a bad attitude problem, she obviously didn't eat or drink where the locals ate as she would have found it a lot cheaper,we were paying abour 80p a pint at some of the places, and as far as safety goes Greece is one of the only country's I feel safe to walk about. Sidari itself is not the most scenic of places but within walking distance if you know where to walk you can get away from it all.

Just returned after spending seven wonderful days in Sidari.
The locals are so friendly and the bars are so plentiful.
Be sure to check out the Why Not bar for an amazing breakfast, If you surface before 12pm!, and you must visit The IQ Music bar, Shakers Cocktail bar,The Vasson Cocktail bar and The Mint Dance club.
Often left at 3am and felt totaly safe walking back to the apartment.
But you must hire a car and go exploring the local beaches and villages during the day!

Came back from Sidari on Saturday 11th, had fab time, weather was pants tho. We had 6 days of sun out of 14, but loads to do and see. Highly recommend the greek nights and eating at the salt and pepper and sea breeze restaurants. Beware however of the old guy with the donkey in town, as he has a sign asking for money which he then spends on booze and not the donkey, best to buy the donkey food. Kassiopi is gorgeous and make sure you visit sunset beach. Stayed at the Christina Appartments, 10 mins from beach. Highly recommend Sidari and Corfu as whole, its beautiful. Can't wait to go back!

Sidari was HORRIBLE! The Greeks totally ruined my holiday, and as a result we will NOT be going back! We went for 2 weeks, the first week went by quickly but when it came to the second week it felt like it would never end!
I had two very bad experiences with the locals - on one occasion we had to phone the police who were no help at all as they only spoke a tiny bit of english.
Advice for anyone: DO NOT go out alone. Your just not safe. A lot of other tourists we met didnt like it very much either. Most of them found it boring, and expensive. The only good thing about our whole experience was going to aqualand. Totally ace!

Sidari is absolutely brilliant can't fault one thing. Good food in Shakers, great greek night and food in The Three Little Pigs and for greek food try The Mythos great for kids to. The beach is safe the kids will get fed up of walking before the water reaches their waist clean and clear you can swim with the fish. They have got a great water park as well. But cheaper to book with local travel agents than with tour reps if you book water park make sure its the biggest as they have a local park to but not so big probably would be better booking this one with reps. Corfu town by night, and kassiopi is great to (local travel agentfor these). Looking forward to next September we stayed in the Sellas Hotel.

I AM GOING TO SIDARI ON THE 20TH OF OCT AND I AM STAYING IN THE ZAFIRIS APARTMENTS WITH MY PARTNER AND 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. NEVER BEEN TO CORFU BEFORE CAN ANYNOE HELP, PLEASE.....

i have something to tell everyone thats going to sadari its fab you will love it everyone is so freindly there are great places to eat and good places to drink and there are great pools and the beach is great i9f you r going on the trips i advise you to go aqua land it is a great laugh with friends and family there is so much to do there also i advise you to go on the glass bottom boat the r great sites to see.

I have just come bk from sadari and i stayed in loxides hot it was so clean and you have loads of space the area is nice i bit is quiet the other end is lively there is loads to do every one should go its great.p.s(you won't wanna come bk)

Came back from Sidari yesterday. Went there with my boyfriend, stayed in Hotel Mimosa (half board), virtually on the beach. The food was absolutely amazing - local specialities, kebabs, cakes, etc, the only down side being that we were offered chips with every order. The drinks were a bit on the expensive side - 3 Euros and higher, and majority of hotels/bars has Sky (wether thats a good thing or not ;)
Generally its a fantastic place to go as a couple - romantic and very pleasant, the resort is quite small and there's not that much to do for kids (Phew!).
Lol, the "river of poo" mentioned above is called "River D'Amore" and has a local history attached to it.
The locals are friendly and the scenery is simply amazing. Definitely a place to go!

Going to Sidari with my girlfriend on the 6th Oct, never been before, staying at Loxides Apartments, looks nice in the brochure but never can tell, has anyone stayed there before or can anyone recommend some nice tavernas and bars, see you at the bar if your there then!!

Four of us just back from Sidari on the 16/09/03 for the time of year weather was great we ate out every night enjoyed the beaches and the ocean the friendlyness of the people was outstanding in particular the staff of of the hotel we stayed in (Sidari Beach Hotel) we had a magic time so much so we are booking next year same hotel same resort.

To Mad Minx
I think if you post simply to
Oh La La Bar
Sidari
Corfu
It goes to the box near the petrol station up the road and they
pass it on to the staff. well that's what they told me anyway!

My husband and I have just come back from Sidari,we had a brilliant two weeks.
Weather was bad first couple of days but soon cleared up.
Sidari has its rough parts we were lucky we were in the quieter end near to Agios Ionnis area.
We found some really good places to eat with a mixture of all foods eg Greek, English, and especially a good curry house,had three while we were there, it is called the koorinor execellent currys.
as far as the price of drinks go it depends where you go some greek taverners were only charging 1.2 euros and wine was cheap.where as the big tourist bars were charging 2.5 for amstel.
Our holiday consisted of walking there is
some great scenery to be seen on foot.

Going to Sidari on 13.10.03 with 3 kids of 14, 11 and 6. Getting seriously worried as I've seen comments which say it's too late in the season and everywhere is closed. Is this the case in Sidari? Also, would like some info on lively bars which would be suitable for adults and kids and recommendations of good value for money cafes/restaurants. Cheers

Can anyone pass on address for Oh La La Bar as i want to go back and work for remainder of season

I'm going to Sidari on Sunday, allocation on arrival but we're guaranteed a pool. Just want some info on where to go, weather, prices, tips.

Email me at leannemcloughlin@hotmail.com

Thank you.

I leave for Corfu on Friday - any idea what the weather is doing? Has any one stayed at the Christina Studios? Unfortunately I have beentold its been raining the past few weeks with more to come????

The drains stink, too british abroad for us, beer is very expensive. We were also put off by the two rivers of human poo at both ends of the resort. Beware of an old man with a donkey outside the oh la la bar, he's begging for money to feed the donkey but uses it for booze for himself while the donkey has to stand tied to a railing allday in the full sun without food or water, then he has the nerve to ride it home, please do not give him money by the donkey some carrots instead. Apart from these few things we found corfu very pretty and most of the locals very friendly.

Message to Simon

You obviously have not even tried to get to know the Corfiots at all. If you had then you would have found them to be the most generous, warm and friendly people you could hope to meet. They think that we want, football, english beer etc so its down to us to put them straight. We have been going to Sidari for 7 years, twice a year, and yes we have seen changes but the people remain the same. They are trying to earn a living like the rest of us. We need positive comments, not negative ones. By all means go elsewhere.

Hi Jacqui, If you contact me on caroline.langley@northlindsey.ac.uk I can give you info on Corfu.

Has anybody stayed at the Joanna Studios in Sidari?. I am going on the 6th Oct. for a week so would appreciate any onfo at all. Never been to Corfu.

stupid question i know but do the paradise appartments have an iron that you can use or is there one in the appartment already?

basically - football - down the pub - s**g a bird - fu@k off. sidari is ok if you want to watch british football, buy mcdonalds and imitation gucci / oakley stuff. blackpool with a bit more sun. the biggest down side is the british tourists - no wonder we have such a crap reputation throughout europe. it's greece for gods sake! if i wanted cheese and onion crisps and watneys red barrel, p**s off to clacton. having said that if all you want to do is get pissed on british beer and pay through the nose for it sidari is the place. having said all that. mooching around does bring up some little gems here and there. but if its greece you want try places like kassioppi or arillas

Got back on the 15.09.03 stayed at the Sunflower Apartments they were very nice. They are about a 10 minute walk in to the centre of Sidari where there are various pubs and restaurants. I recommend the Athena restaurant for nice food, service was excellent, food was delicious and good on value. I found that all the waiters were very friendly especially Costas and Spiros. If you like horseriding try The Ranch in Rhoda, horses are very well looked after and the owner Thnasis is lovely. Ive been to various Greek islands and I have to say that Sidari is now my favourite I like it so much I am going back for a week on 06.10.03 also I have been offered a job working at The Ranch for next summer.

Hi i have bin to sidair village and it wos absoulty GREAT kidz loved it we loved it entetmaint grerat

hi can eney one help i am thinking about booking up to go to sidari next may, o4, has any one stayed at the dionyssos pension& apartments, in sidari, you can e mail at gailpage46@yahoo.co THANKS GAIL

hi sue mcdonald the weather at this time of year is normally ok,some nights may be cold. As for expense a meal for two plus drinks would cost around 18 euros.we also stopped at the legends in 2001 very good apartments.

We stayed at Jimmy's Apartments the first two weeks of Sept 2003 and the accommondation was EXCELLENT!So spotlessly clean and tidy! Jimmy, Arieta, Alex and the rest of the staff were so friendly. The Pool was lovely and clean, and the snacks at the bar we superb! Especially the Greek Salad, the best we had on the Island! The only think we could say against it, if we had to, was the apartment we were in was the only one facing the main road (Room 109) and sometimes, it could be noisy with vehicles from the road. But don't let that put you off, we loved it and would definately go back! Sidari itself was ok, usual tourist shops and some excellent Resturants, the best being "Salt and Pepper" only a 3 minute walk from Jimmy's. We were told Oasis was a good place to eat, we ate there once and hated it! The Supermarket on the corner again about 2/3 minute walk from Jimmy's had everything we needed at excellent prices. We look forward to seeing Jimmy and everyone again soon, thank again for everything!

staying at sidari village with wife and two boys 4,6 from the 22nd for two weeks any info about were we are staying, weather, places to go\see anything we may need to take thanks for any help

i am going to sidari on the 26th of sept for two weeks staying at the legends apartments as anybody just come back what was the weather like and how expensive is it?gratefull for any comments
i have heard there could be rain.

Hi Lorraine,

The Marie Studios were fine. basic but had everything that we needed. You can use any of the pools out there all the complexes offer free use of pools and sunbeds I think that all they want is for you to buy something from the snack bar. The location of Marie Studios is quiet but it is only a 5 minute walk away from everything so that was good. If you like mexican food you will have to try Cactus Jacks, when you come to the three little pigs turn left and it is down there. Have a fantastic time. We did.

Am going to Corfu 26th September for 2 weeks, very worried after seeing weather reports that we will be seeing more rain than anything else, can anyone let me know if they have been this time of year. We're staying at the chrsitina studios, sidari - greateful for anyones comments

Sidari was a lovely place for four girls to stay and have a great holiday. There were loads of shops, bars and 3 clubs to keep us busy. Everyone was frindly and welcoming and getting free shots with your drinks was a bonus. The beach wasn't what we were expecting - more dust and grit than sand - but the clear, clean, warm sea made up for it. Sidari is a place for people who want to have a relaxing holiday but who want a great nightlife as well. I think all age groups would enjoy this resort.

Have boked a holiday to sidari , leaving on the 19th of september 2003. I am desperate to find some information about the Matie studio.
Can anybdy help and gove opinion.
thanks,

Leila & Martin

Paula Hayman

Did you go to the Marie Studios and have the use of a hotel pool, if so can you let me know what the apts were like, going there on 29/9

Cant say there is anything I didnt like about Sidari. Plenty of bars, restaurants (our favourites being The Rose Garden and Fagans - both cheap with HUGE portions!) and the excursions are really cheap (if you dont book through your rep!). Our apartments (Tereza's Pool) were extremely clean and comfortable and Spiros, Tereza, Angelo and Maria were very friendly.... we didnt want to come home and cant wait to go back!

Just got back on Saturday and we had a great time. Beaches may have not been fantastic, but hey, a holiday is what YOU make it and we had a fantastic time. Food great, nightlife great, people great. Just not enough time to fit all the places in. Would go back again tomorrow.

Just come back from two weeks in Sidari (staying at Tereza's Pool Apartments)and had a really lovely holiday. Sidari was perhaps slightly too "Brits Abroad" for us, but was a good base to explore the island and other beaches in the day and then go and have a nice meal and a few drinks in Sidari in the evening. Restaurants are all pretty good (Seabreeze and Three Little Pigs are very good)and there are enough bars to go to most evenings (Mojo Music Bar, good music & very attractive barman!). The main beach didn't appeal that much, but the smaller one near Canal D'Amour is quite nice, especially as you can sit on rocks in the middle of the sea. I would recommend getting a car and going to explore slightly more traditional places, such as Paleokastritsa (with amazing beaches and coves, very good for snorkelling) and Kassiopi, which also has really pretty, small beaches, and lots of nice restaurants. Overall, good holiday though and depending what you're after, Sidari is a good base for anyone.

going to sidari in october stopping at the kousaros appartments any comments. are there any greek markets near by

Booked for summer 2004 to Sidari. A bit apprehensive now. Does anyone know about the Alexis Pool and Studio Apartments? Any information would help!!

Got back from Takis apts last week. next door to maria apts in Direct Hols brochure. Had a fantastic time. Apts very spacious and clean and the pool was the best one weve had. Approx ten minutes into centre of sidari which is very lively. Best restaurant to eat at was the Rose Garden. Booked trip to aqualand through valueplus travel which was a lot cheaper than booking with the reps and well worth it, as the water park was great.

I have recently returned from the newly built Paradise Hotel in Sidari, they are excellent very clean, maid service every day to clean the apartments, there was a waiter named costa who is very helpful. in the actual complex and around Sidari there is not a lot going on for children (the kids club in Paradise needs a lot more idea's going into it as they did not entertain the children that well and you have to pay everytime your child went to it ) the cheapest bar to drink at was called the champions bar and the best place to eat was an american resturant (if you have a healthy appitite and well worth the money) the mozzies are a pain and so are the wasps, found the water park in Sidari very good, overall really enjoyed the holiday

I am going to sidari in october with my partner and three children age 12, 13, 15, first holiday abroad wanting to hear about best places to eat. and whats there for the kids ie watersports boat trips. also is there trips to sea to see dolphins. as kids would love this. whats the beaches like. and if anybody has stayed in the elena II apartments would like feed back on what there like. cheers.

my boyfriend and i are going to sidari this sept 22nd for two weeks and we are staying at paradise appartments(have noted lack of air con!)looking forward to going to all the places people have commented on and my mouth is watering already,esp the garlic shrimps,lamb, and feta cheese mmm, does the holiday come with free weight watchers membership on return home?any last minute advice,(apart from insect repellant!)hope the weather will be ok, starting to get worried it might rain!i wish i had known abouth this web site before booking previous holidays,are there similar ones for other places, im a bit of a web virgin!?

We visited Zante (Laganas) last year and chose Sidari this, thinking it would be alike. Unfortunately, the beach was covered with, what looked like, rubbish, but did not stay long enough to find out. The resort itself offers loads of bars, restaurants and shops but, conpared to Zante, is much more expensive. Try The Two Brothers restaurant in Canal D' Amour area for the best food at best prices.

of any cancellations of apartments in sidari village

My family have just come back from Sidari, staying at Kousaros Studios. The beaches are lovely and Corfu is a beautiful Island but the one thing that spoilt it for us was noise ! We had pop music blaring outside our apartment from the Kousaros bar until 3:00 am then it would start again at 9:00 am. There were other blocks of apartments behind ours which had their own entertainment which seemed to do battle with ours on noise levels. The advert in the brochure described the apartments as situated in a quiet location ! There were some nice Tavernas for meals, but mainly geared up for British tourists. You need to travel around Corfu to quieter resorts if you want to get a feel for the Corfiot culture.

To Mary Miller

Check Sidari Apartments for info on the Yannis apartments. As far as mosquitoes are concerned as the temperature drops at night there are not as many as there are high season. They do not like the cold. Having said that I find the tablets are better than the liquid and I use Avon Woodland Fresh Dry Oil Spray from the So Soft range which they don't seem to like. If you want any other info please let me know. email caroline.langley@northlindsey.ac.uk

got back 2 weeks ago. stayed in Sidari Village which I now hear was actually shown on holidays from hell? Is this true? I had a fantastic time, the complex was great and the all inclusive facilities were great too. The resort was nice, the beach was nice but the sunbeds were hugely expensive. The entertainers at Sidari Village were amazing, Michael and Emma good on you, don't know how you do it. Would definitely consider going back. Low point was the airport on the return flight. Maybe they should look at their schedules and not have EVERY flight going out on a monday afternoon from such a small airport!!

TO LINDA LEWIS - MORE INFO - WE TOOK APPROX GBP300.00 FOR 2 WEEKS AND IT WAS ONLY JUST ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE EATING OUT EVERY NIGHT AND LUNCHTIME. THE RED LION BRITISH PUB HALF WAY DOWN THE MAIN STREET IS REALLY GOOD FOR SNACKS - FOOD IS GREAT AND THE STAFF ARE EXCELLENT, PRICES ARE GOOD AS WELL (GIVE PRICES IN BOTH EURO AND POUNDS) ALSO MARGARITAS STEAK HOUSE IS GOOD IF YOU ARE WANTING A PROPER MEAL.

TO LINDA LEWIS - LOUVROUS ARE OK - JUST BACK - ONLY COMMENT WATCH OUT FOR THE POOL BAR PRICES!! LOCATION IS ABOUT A 10 MIN WALK FROM BEACH AND THE MAIN SIDARI AREA! USE THE SUPERMARKET BEHIND THE BP GARAGE FOR BREAD ETC. BUT THE ONE OPPOSITE TO BP GARAGE FOR BRITISH BRANDS! HARRY AND LEO ARE REALLY FRIENDLY THOUGH - HAVE A GOOD TIME.

TO MARY MILLAR - GET BOOTS PLUG IN MOZZIE KILLER AND ROLL ON REPLENT. THATS WHAT WE TOOK AND HAD NO BITES !!!

hi,me and a mate are going to the sellas studio app in sidari the first week of sep does any one know what they are like?and is anyone going at the same time?

My husband and I are visiting Sidari in September, we went to zante last year, I think the prices are the same. Last year we ate breakfast out every day for two weeks ate meals out every evening had plenty to drink,traveled about to different places through the day, even went on a cruise and spent no more than &700 between the two of us.

Hi all, well I've just blown my hard earnt savings on booking a holiday to Sidari and would appreciate any comments on Louvros appartments. Could anyone also put my mind at rest regarding the cleanliness of sidari, the cost of it too. I am going with my hubby, we aren't big, big drinkers but would like to know the approximate amount of money you think would be needed for two weeks. I have read a lot of reviews and most seem very good, but then I have read some that are making me very nervous. Look forward to any advice, thanks.

My husband and 3 children had our first holiday abroad this year with a group of friends and we stayed at the Paradise Apartments, Sidari. Apartments were brand new and fantastic. Staff were brilliant, very friendly especially Eleni,nothing was too much hassle for them. They all made us very welcome. Reps were great as well. Old man and kids loved the beach (I was too busy sitting by the pool). The town was great plenty of nightlife it thats what you wanted, the only down side were the people seling roses, they became quite a pain after 2 weeks. Overall a fantastic holiday and think we are going back next year - watch out Paradise here we come.

The whole family had a great time so much so were going again next year

first visit to corfu we made a good choice of staying at the mariana apts although its about 20 min. walk into sidari cycles were available free of charge at the apts, would not advise walking back late at night from town with or without a torch!!!!!!! service all round was very good,maids came in most days , the rooms were a good size and food was also very good.check out the terrapins at annie and leons bridge :) also the frogs near MOTO Rent !!! memories ,cactus jacks and olympic were all good places to eat but mozzies were big enough to set a place for.

Does anyone have any info/has been to the Frieda Apartments in Sidari? We have just booked to go there but have been reading some hideous reviews about them! Thanks!

Me, my husband and two children have just got back from Sidari. We stayed at the Hotel Paradise Apartments, which I was a little concerned as like eveyone else we had only seen an artists impression in the brouchure. When we arrived we was absolutly delighted with them, they are very clean,spacious and well equipt, they said the maid service was every other day but we had our bins emptied and beds made everyday. The pool is fantastic with two shallow ends for kids, you can also use the sister pool next door which is just as nice. The reps were fantastic with the kids and although we never prepaid in britain to use the kids club they made my son very welcome mostly without charge. The hotel staff are lovely.... but beware for the waiter who pushes you in the pool!!!. There was three evenings of entertainment per week in the hotel bar, bingo, karaoke and quiz night, the prizes are worth entering for. It is not far at all from the main street in Sidari where you will find everything you need and cheap, there are loads of places to eat and drink, we took a list with us but ended up eating at the paradise restaraunt where you get 10% discount of your food and drinks, the food was lovely and the service fantastic. If you like some entertainment whilst eating try Bolero or the Three little pigs you can't miss them. There is a Macdonalds very close to Paradise and it is actually cheaper to eat there then the restaraunts, although for four of us we spent about £20 per night on food and drinks. I would highly recommend some of the trips on offer and despite what people said we did book through our hotel rep and had two fantastic days, one to Aqualand which is a must for all ages and the beach bbq cruise. If you have a small child you can hire buggys in sidari for around 15 euros per week. The one and only problem we found was the heat at night in our apartment we did hire a fan from hotel reception which cost us 30 euro for 14 days, but it was as much use as a chocolate fire guard, so we would just recommend wet towels on a night, don't sleep with the doors open on a night as the mozzies will bite you. In all a very enjoyable holiday and we will go back when they have aircon in the rooms which they are getting this winter. I do have pictures of the hotel and pool if anyone wants to see them let me know. vaj20@aol.com, or any other questions you may have that I have missed.

Does anyone have any info on The Varvara Apartments in Sidari..?? We are going there first two weeks of Sept and can't find any info on these apartments anywhere..

To Denise Jackson
I do have a map which I made up of Sidari. It may be a bit late for you now as I don't know when you are going on holiday in August. It does not list your apartments but it does list others that may be near it especially if you share a pool. The only problem with the map is that it is A3.

hi samantha addison, we stayed at the legends apts 2001. The apts we stopped in was very clean & spacious, swimming pool & bar staff are always willing to help, nothing is to much trouble. The apts are about five minutes walk from the main area of the resort.

We stayed at the Paradise apartments it was clean and spacious the swimming pool was fantastic the only drawback was that their was no air conditioning we had problems sleeping at night.We ended up hirin g a fan from a hire shop near{captains}restaurant.Take plenty of mozzie replellent with you.We went to a beach barbeque with value plus the{beach}was full of pebbles the food was sh***.The only thing that would put me of returning to sidari are the sewage outlets that run into the sea.The people were fantastic and if you are a laid back person you will love here.Faros is a great place to eat and for greek dancing you must go to the three pigs my kids loved it.

We stayed at the Paridise apartments the apartments were clean and spacious the staff were very friendy.The only problem was that their was no air conditioning.It was so warm in the apartments my daughter slept out on the balcony. There were plenty of things to do in sidari. There were plenty of clubs, bars and giftshops. Apart from the heat in the apartments, everything else was great.The waiters at the garvinos apartments were very charming and hospitable.

HI EVERYONE!
JUST GOT BACK FROM SIDARI VILLAGE ON 28TH JULY, WENT THERE WITH MY HUBBY AND OUR 4 KIDS AGED 14,11,10 AND 8. WE STAYED ALL INCLUSIVE FOR 2 WEEKS. THIS HOLIDAY IS OUR 3RD IN 3 YEARS IN SIDARI AND THIS ONE HAS BEEN THE BEST SO FAR, THE COMPLEX IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND SO ARE THE STAFF,APTS,FOOD AND DRINK,THE MANAGER, ACTIVITIES FOR ADULTS AND KIDS, SCENERY,POOLS ETC. BUT MOST OF ALL A MASSIVE UP TO THE ENTERTAINERS MICHAEL AND EMMA,HOW THEY SURVIVE I DONT KNOW,WHAT A SUPERB JOB THEY DO,THEY MAKED OUR HOLIDAY AND A BIG UP TO VIKI,HOPE TO SEE U NEXT YEAR. WELL RECOMMENDED,NEVER GO SELF CATERING AGAIN. THIS COMPLEX IS PARADISE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we came back from sidari yestrday, it was fantastic. We stayed at
the othonas apaartments were excellent, the manager Telli was
very friendly and always had smile on his face.
Aqualand and the beach bbq were two fantastic trips and there
were never ending lists of excursions you could go on. DO NOT
book through the reps, in most cases the trips booked in town
were half the price and better than what the reps could offer.
The BEST BAR was mojo's music bar, opposite mcdonalds, it
had the best prices and lovely people working there, especially
the blonde one, he was gorgeous!!!!
The best restaurant was the pizzeria, it was good value and had
the best food in sidari, i can't wait to go back.
The only downfall was the price of drinks, it was no cheaper than
England and in some cases more expensive, although the chep
food made up for it.

Sidari is brilliant, stayed at Hotel Sellas and Apartments Ektor.
Wish I'd gone there this year instead of Zakynthos which is not very nice.

Just come back from Sidari and really liked it. Seemed to me to be an all round holiday resort. Plenty to do, lots of shops and bars but not loads of yobs. People are friendly. Eating out is chaep although drunken nights can start to get expensive. A
good holiday. We would recommend the place but we still preferred Laganas in Zante.

anyone been to Macedonia Apartments in sidari?

Any info would be great...

Loved it. We stayed at the Summertime apartments and we all had a great time.
We used the wrong pool for are apartments but no-one minded becasue all the pools in sidari are free and so are the sun beds.
The night life was good and the bars were very lively with english music. For a game of pool you are looking to pay 1.50 euro. I really enjoyed it and i would go back tomorow.
You must visit the 3 little pigs for an evening dinner.

And you must go to The Two Brothers restarante for a 4 euro full english breakfast just down the road from Summertime. Wish you a great holiday anyone going to Sidari in the near future.

i am going to sidari in one week and staying at the sellas studios please can anyone give an oppinion on what its like

First time to Corfu, stayed in Summertime appartments in Sidari, we had a fantastic holiday and would like to go back in a few years. Plenty of good tavernas, shops and bars. Dogs were not the problem I was told they would be, found most places very clean but seemed pricey everwhere. Beach was dissapointing. So stayed next to pool for rest of holiday. Very good resort for families, didn't see any trouble from lager loats etc. If anyone needs more info you can e-mail me gary_edfu@hotmail.com I will be glad to tell you what I can.

Just back after going to Sidari for 5th year and booked the day after we got back for next year.Stayed at Loxides appts and had a fantastic time as always. Just reasd F S comments about Sidari and think that he/she would be better staying in Britain and just turn central heating up,what a wast of money!! Been to other Greek Islands but love Corfu the most, but you have got to hire a car and drive to other places to see the real Corfu. Counting the weeks to my next holiday in Sidari.

We've just getting back from our holiday in sidari we had a fab time we stayed in the maria apartments which were lovely and clean and the owners of shooters bar downstairs Dom and Barbra where really friendly and easy to get on with dom breakfasts where great way to start your day and barbra made you feel at home we didn't want to come home. We would go back tomorrow if we could. people in sidari were all really friendly and the night life was good and there was some great views to be had, the whole holiday was good from beginning to end.

We returned from sidari on july 14th, hate being home wish we were still there this was our fifth visit we stay at goudelis apts which are owned and run by a wonderful family(spiro,his lovely wife alexandra,their youngest daugther Lia,their daughter caroline & husband Billy with baby george (2yrs)) they makle you feel truely welcome.Sidari itself has grown over the years there is now more nightlife ( club etc..) in the town,there are many excellent places to eat .For good food such as a large english breakfast, an excellent sunday roast as well as a whole range of greek cuisine you won't find better than the Bolero Garden restaurant Bar on the main street and of cause for the youngsters they've now opened a McDonalds.To anyone thinking of going to sidari we'd recommend it everytime no matter where you stay the locals are really friendly so enjoy, we're going back in september and have already booked up our usual 2weeks for next year what more can i say!!

It's like a poor man's Blackpool, the bars feature Coronation Street and Big Brother... but what shocked me most was 'BINGO NIGHT'! I mean they try so hard to appeal to the English market and it just makes the whole place seem like a commercial nightmare. The beaches are filthy, despite how clean they look in the photos and you can't even walk around the place, without worrying about getting run down by the psychopathic locals. Apart from shopping, which once you've bought your cigarettes and alcohol becomes pointless there is very little to do apart from lie around getting baked by the sun. Admittedly this is fun for many people, but personally I found Sidari to be like a Bad Version of Hell. Families appeared really bored, with their children confined to the pool, because it was too warm and pointless to do anything else - I definately wouldn't recommend Sidari for children, or basically for anyone that doesn't enjoy talking to charmless Cockney men at midnight, or Charmless Greek men during the day. Drinking out isn't any cheaper than at home - Sidari just lacks everything that a holiday should be about, i.e. a change of scenery and perhaps even a bit of culture :0D

regarding blue sky apartments

we have just come back four days ago, we stayed for two weeks and throughly enjoyed it the couple that run the apts. are really friendly and helpful, the pool is quiet and relaxing but you are in easy reach of the bars/restaurants etc, i would love to be going back.

Just got back after 2 weeks in Sidari - stayed at the Garnavos apartments. Good places to eat are the Roof Garden (in main street) and the paradise restaurant. Can also recommend China Town as the best chinese in Sidari.

Also recommend the Falcon bar - the calypso bar is also good as it always seems to have a happy hour!

Shops sell the usual tourist tat and there are several good jewellery shops.

I am going to be staying at the Blue Sky Apartments at the end of August and was wondering if anyone has been recently, if so what are they like?

we arrived on the 1st july 2003 airport not to busy a very small wait for the correct coach to take us to sidari village about 45 mins to get there. bit of a c**k up when we got there no-one showed us to our appartment we had to wait about 8 mins for the little bus service to bring us our luggage, but that was at 4.15 in the morning so not really to bothered. appartment was clean good view of the complex. the kiddies pool was a little way from the adult pool but was ok. adult pool was good aswell. the all inclusive food during the day was a small selection although very tasty. the entertainment was very good at night bingo singing good for the kiddies and later on at night they are all grownp up activities. main restaurant was clean a good selection of local and britsh foods breakfast not brill tho. on the whole a bargain great for the family

ITS OUR FIRST TIME IN CORFU,STAYING IN THE SELLAS HOTEL. SIDHARI
WOULD APP ANY INFO ON THE BEST PLACE TO VISIT AND EAT. GOING IN EARLY AUG

Message for Donna Grey. We did go with Cosmos. There a re two villas at Elena. One has 2 bedrooms and is right next to pool and bar, and the other is in a quieter location at the back of apartments. We did not have to take bath towels as they supplied bath, hand and tea towels. Air conditioning is 8 euros a night. Elena and Georges bar are great and the location is brill. The pool is cleaned every day and looked after by Adonis (yes that's right, Adonis)George, Jenny and vangelis were great and very friendly, even the dog, Daisy. The resort is very expensive now that the euro has come in. Georges bar is cheapest for drinks. Its about a 10 min walk into Sidari, but you have to watch the kids as the cars drive fast and there is no footpath. Hope you have as good a time as we did. Say hello to them all from Alison and Tracey (the twins)

message for alison vickers. i am going to stay in one of the elena villas in sidari. i think it is the same place that you stayed. did you go with cosmos. i am due to go 4august and am taking 5 kids. i heard from someone else that they only provide hand towels. is this true as i dont really want to take bath towels with me. any info on the villas, resort and excursions would be appreciated. you can email me at greyfamily7@aol.com thanks verm much donna grey

me and my best friend have just finished college, we are both 18 and decided to celebrate by having our first holiday abroard. Our travel agent suggested corfu-sidari, so we took her advice. We stayed at the KOUSAROS APPARTMENTS. it was lovely. the entertainment at the appartment bar was brilliant, the appartments were very clean, pool was lovely, everybody just seemed to make friends. the managment was a family run bussiness, they to were fantastic - they do anything to make your holiday one to remember!their always thier to help you and nothing is to much trouble for them!
the appartments wwere close to the paradise hotel, which is approx 5 mins walk to sidari, sidari was brill, nightlife was fantastic. I must also suggest the greek night that again was an evening i will never forget. I had such a wonderfull time that we have only been back for two days and have booked again! for next year onbly this time for 2 weeks!!!!!!!

We are staying at the paradise apts this month in sidari. Can anyone tell me if there is a local bank and if so is it reliable to get money from and if it has a cashpoint available and what cards re accepted.

6 adults and 5 children Stayed at elena Apartments in Sidari (Georges bar)George,Jenny, their son vangelis were excellent hosts, they made our holiday. Very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Rooms were dark, old and very basic but you soon get used to them, otherwise we have a great holiday. Grounds and pool were first class.

John and i were in sidari in May of this year. i have to say we loved it. It's a beautiful place very green and as far as i could see sidari had the best beach. It's quiet enough in May for those who just want to relax. The weather was excellent. The people are fabulous. Spanish people arent a patch on the residents of sidari. We are even thinking of getting married there. Big thumbs up from us

Hi there,
Anyone been staying at the sidari garden village recently? ive heard all great reports about it but what i want to know is whether you pay extra for all of the games facilities for the kids even though we are all inclusive, can anyone help? we go on the 14th july. thanks.

Sidari is a place for mostly families.The entertainment is amazing,were every you go.The beach is lovely and clean and the people there are the most friendliest people you can ever meet.Watch out in the shops though,you can get ripped off!Other than that this place is where you want to be!

We got back yesterday from Sidari, we stayed at the Spiradoula appartments and it was the best holiday we have ever had!! The rooms were basic but clean, we had a lovely pool, with a snackbar for when we couldnt be bothered to walk into the town which was about a 10 minute walk - we didnt mind this as it meant it was very quiet where we were. The Staff at Spiradolua are excellent - Stewart and Spiros, you'll come away tanned, relaxed and addicted to Ouzo!!

Just got back from Paradise apartments (literally!). Agree that they are extremely good but severely lacking in air conditioning (it's been 55 degrees the last two days). Is impossible to sleep at night at the moment. Mosquitos are terrible - quite a few open sewers in Sidari including some just behind Paradise apartments - so you can't have windows open if you are susceptible to bites. Paradise restaurant very good (mainly because of discount) but would also recommend the Bolero where portions are massive. Generally expect to pay around £6 for two course dinner with a drink). Vegetarians are very well catered for. Maid service is not every day - we didn't have any for the last four days - but is generally good. Pool bar at the Garvanos apartments (joined on to Paradise)is cheap for lunch.

Had a good time october 02 thanks to "Why Not Bar" near marketto supermarket.

Mr Tom & his wife Delia, the best cooks in Sidari!. They make everybody welsome & am going back again in october.

Would recomend nyone to visit "Why Not" for the best food in Sidari.

Iris.

First visit and i loved it and am hoping to go back out there again in the future, if not Sidari then it's neighbouring resort, Roda. The clubs are very small and not very busy, the pubs were ok- all very 'British', lots of karaoke bars... Most of the shops were either souvenir shops or jewellery shops... DO NOT PAY MORE THAN €19 FOR A FAKE ROLEX WATCH, my friends and i found it highly amusing that some shops were charging as much as €200. Yeah right!! Most local people were friendly, especially if you bothered to attempt to speak using their language... 'Thank you' being, 'Eff Karistow' (spelt phonetically) i think :-S Have a great time, i wish i hadn't come back home :-)

MESSAGE FOR CHLOE, me and my mate are also goin to b stayin in joanna apartments, i found a couple of pictures on the internet of tha aprtmnts and the pool, look up olympic holidays and browse their brochures, its in the 2003 issue, theres not a lot of info about it, but it may help??

Sara...I cant really remember the names of all the good places to eat, and the pubs and clubs,there is one good place to eat and it served a full english breakfast and when i say full i mean full...they called it a Truckstop breakfast so keep your eyes out for that one....all the places where really nice....the staff and food at the paradise resturant where great(which is right next door to garnavos)...if you get chance, go on a coach trip to the Auqualand in corfu...thats great!

Message for claie morton, my family and i are due to go to the paradise apartments in sept all i would like to know is did u go with jmc?? and did use the kids club?

Thanks Katie..... can you recommend any good places to eat in Sidari, which bars are good etc.?

Thanks for all your comments, I am really looking forward to the holiday now....only 1 week to go!

Sara...yeah we had to check out at about 11-12 am on our last day and the coach (to take us to corfu airport) wasn't coming to pick us up till about 12 midnight, My parents who had a luxury appartment had a word with the owners of gavarnos and managed to keep their room for about another 4 hours or so....but they charged us extra something like 20 pound...not really sure. but it was a pain really i ended up having to have a nap on the sun beds beside the pool whilst waiting for the coach..but it all might have changed since then. katie

if u have stayed in the othanas appartments does anyone no if there are safes in the rooms?

Message for Claire Morton, Thanks very much for the info, it puts my mind at ease knowing they are looking into it. Thanks once again.

looking for the phone number of Alexia Palm Grove Apartments, can any one help?

Hi, me and my boyfriend are going to sidari the last week of july for to weeks, we are staying in the potamus apprtments. Any one now what they are like? also what is the nightlife like, are there any british bars or places to get a good british meal?

any comments much apprieceated!

Message for Vanessa James
After talking to the reps on the complex they believe the problem is due to a chemical inbalance in the water - they used a tanker to fill the pool and are unsure what was transported in the tanker before! Results have been sent off but members of staff spent every evening in the pool scrubbing and clean. There were no serious cases whilst we were there.
Regarding food we didn't actually eat at the Paradise resturant or the snack bar but I found food prices in resturants along the main street very resonable and there are loads to choose from. Most places offer a wide range of english and greek food.

hi claire

the answer tour question who owns the zafiris apartments is zafiris's father costas he usually sits at the saxophone bar he has grey hair and large built man always wears denim


regards shirley sinclair

sorry netti forgot to tell you the prices at the complex are reasonable the drinks at the bar are just the same as anywhere in sidari try the cocktails at the saxophone bar .


regards shirley and gerry.

Hi Netti

i know the zafiris very well the complex is very clean the pool is always kept in tip top condition there is also a childrens area of the pool also a childrens play area with swings. there is a poolside bar you do not have to get up as there are waiters coming around the pool all the time for your orders, also i can recommend the taverna owned by eva she cooks from fresh her pizza's and spagetti bolognese are the best this side of italy . her son miltos you can not miss him unless he has had his hair cut {it is in a ponytail} is always very helpful will get you anything if it is in his power please when you are there please tell him high love from shirley hope he is keeping well and hope to see them in the middle of september if allgoes well also try the saxophone bar at the bottom of the hill great atmospher
the weather is great in september the first year we went it wat in the bottom of the 100's last year in the late 90's i know you will have a great time there please reply and let me know how you got on or maybe if you are still there when we go come and say high

best regards
shirley and gerry

Thanks Katie.... is there a late checkout facility at the Garnavos apartments? - our flight is at some nightmare hour of the morning and we don't really want to be sitting around from 12midday, the day before!

Thanks again
Sara

This is a message for CLAIRE MORTON. Thanks for the info it is much apprieciated. Can you tell me if they were looking at the problem with the pool or if they even knew what it was. And was the food prices ok.
Cheers Vanessa James

Sara.....I stayed at the Garnavos apartments in sidari, on the whole it was a real treat, Huge clean Pool, poolside service, Clean, friendly etc. I stayed in a studio apartment with my boyfriend, it was very small, but we expected it really, the luxury appartments where lovely, plenty of room. my only concern is that in sidari the locals do not like animals including dogs and cats and tend to mistreat them, which if you are an animal lover can spoil your entire holiday, i whitnessed two local greek men tying a dog to a rope then to the back of a van, and they literaly dragged the poor helpless dog around some waste ground until it died. so ill let you decide

For everyone interested in information on Paradise Apartments.
I have just returned from a weeks holiday staying at Paradise and have to say that these apartments are brilliant. We stayed in a studio which was well designed and spotlessly clean. The kitchen facilities were also a surprise - a kettle, two rings, a mini-oven and grill, which in my experience was well above average for greece. The complex itself has a reception - which is not 24 hours as stated in the brochure - a bar and swimming pool. Be warned though, there were problems with the pool - young children developed blisters and burns on their feet and legs so many fmailies used the neighbouring pool at Garnavos (10 metres walk) which does have a children's pool. Snacks can also be purchased at the bar at Garnovas. There is however Paradise resturant that serves snacks and meals on the road just before the complex and as a guest you get a 10% discount! We also hired safety deposit boxes from here - they are free!
The complex itself is within walking distance of the beach and the resorts main street - I was surprised how close it was - however, at night we couldn't even hear noise from the entertainment at the bar let alone the noise from the main street thanks to double glazing!
Hope I have provided you with enough information if you have any questions just ask.

First visit to Sidari this year ( Oct ) whats it like for 2 fun loving 40ish ladies.
Are there a good mix of ages there
Staying at the Lidia Studios, not listed on this site, anyone know what there like
And how about the weather early Oct ?

Hi,

thanks Netty.

Hi, we are staying at Sidari Beach Hotel in August 2003 and have heard can't book room any later than checkout time of 12. Flight is a bit naff so can anyone help with somewhere to book into when we have been kicked out of the hotel?

This message is for Louise Shorrock. We have just come back from Sidari and stayed in Kouros apartments but used Othanos pool every day. Telly (like in Savalas) is the bar man at the pool - great bloke, really good fun, his mama does the cooking and papa runs the supermarket over the road. Wonderful family, will take really good care of you. Pool very clean and well run. Enjoy, because unfortunately the beach is not too clean, if you want to swim in sea get local bus to Kassiopi, pebbly beach but crystal clear water.

anybody been to the tondoris apartments this year 2003?

This message is for Jason Clough, The Kanali apts are situated in the Canal d'Amour area and the beach. It is a lovely place to be staying and if you go onto holidaysuncovered.com and click for sidari, then scroll down to the kanali apts views, you'll get some info from there. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay, i've heard a lot of good comments about these apts. Happy holiday!!!!

Hi

Could anyone who has recently stayed at the new PARADISE APARTMENTS in Sidari please let me have some info on them. Myself, husband and two children are booked to go 21st July 2003. Much appreciated to any one who can help.

Due to stay at Kanali apartments early July - any comments?

Sidari has a varied selection of rooms and hotels, some good some bad, unfortunately we stayed at the Mimosa. The main beach is probably the dirtiest beach I've come across in Greece with sewage outlets at each end. I wouldn't go in the water here, some of the coves around Canal D'Amour seemed much better and I'm told Arillas beach is superb.
The nightlife is whatever you want loud or quiet and we ate in some superb restaurants. Try the 3 Little Pigs for an excellent Greek meal and Faros nightclub hides gem of a restaurant at the back with excellent food, view and service. If you want boring Englisg food go to Fagins, who do the best breakfast in town and also have a Sunday Roast Carvery on a Sunday which is so good you have to book in advance.

looking for phone number of anemona apartments,sidari,we fly out on the 27th june 2003.
we have a dreadful flight home,we have 6 children and would like to book our apartment for an extra few hours....can anyone help.
thank you.

a message for lilly pad. At sidari village, did they have activities for the kids like pool table, tennis etc; and do you have to pay extra for them if your all inclusive. My husband and me and our 4 kids go there to stay for 2 weeks on 14 july. Glad u enjoyed it!!!!!!!

Going to Takis apts Sidari with Direct Hols in August. Any info on what they are like would be appreciated

if you think blackpool and yarmouth are great this is the place for you expensive and crap you get the feeling that the few greeks that have a smile and a pleasent attitude are only doing it to get the last bit of cash outta your pocket worst of the greek islands i have visited for being very commercialised get out into the mountains to see how you can be treated , will not be going back , summing up if your 18 with loads of cash and no brain you will adore it, try RODA for cheaper more relaxed hols

Julie Jones, double click on picture for it to be enlarged.

anyone going to Sidari, shouldn't be dissapointed.
The area is fantastic, the beaches are clean, the locals are more than friendly.
Plenty of activities for all ages and most hotel pools are open to all, not just residents.
Canal D'Amour is where we usually stay and has some of the best resturants going, The Village, Damias Yard and the Mexican place I forget the name of to name but a few.
The main Sidari beach stretches for miles so over-crowding isn't a problem.
Don't book trips with your reps, book them in Sidari (much cheaper).
Bike hire is cheap as is scooter hire, car hire average, shop around for these.
Any questions feel free to ask, been so many times we're connsidering buying a place out there.

Message for Julie Jones, I'm not sure if the appartments u are going to are the same or not. There are lots of places called elena appartments in Sidari!!! How clever is that?!!? The one I stayed in had studios and appartments, also had it's own pool which was very clean and the kids loved it.It was about a 10 minute walk into sidari town, but be sure to take a torch with you, it's dark on the way back!! Make sure you take loo paper too!!! If the appartments you are staying in are with kosmar and are a yellowish colour then they are probably the same one. Enjoy yourself and feel free to email me with anymore questions, demontweeker85@hotmail.com

message for Helen Jonson. Going to the Elena apartments at agios yiannis (something like that) just outside Sidari in 4 weeks time. Are these the same Elena you went to. How far to beach and how far to town? Taking 5 children, are the rooms nice and is there any air conditioning? Thanks

message for helen johnson. please would you mind emailing me with some more information about the elena apartments. i am going to sidari in august and am staying in the one of the elena villas. i am taking 5 children . please can you give me as much info as possible particularly how long it takes to get to town centre if walking. thanks very much. my email is greyfamily7@aol.com

any info on Louvrous Apartments..have heard vary reports on it thanks

hi
we stayed at the athonas appartments in sidari,excellent.family run
very clean and the owners were very friendly,pool was kept spotless,recomend food and good laugh to be had at "buddies"the appartments were close to shops and water park,trips can be booked at a fair price from VALUE PLUS which is just across the way,had a fab holiday would strongly recommend these appartments.

I wanted to know if the place that theresa waterman has just stayed at the paradise apartments was the one that has recently been built as we are going in julY what is it like?

Carol - we go out to Sidari on the 15th August, so not long after you come back. I would recommend the food at Dorellas. The people are really nice - they have a son, Pedros, who is really friendly and welcoming. We are on count down now and can't wait to go! Have a great holiday.

To TERESA WATERMAN Could you please let me know if the paradise apartments to which you refer are the new apartments which have just been built!! in sidari, if so would you please tellme anything you know about them as we are going there end of june. Thanks.

try visiting my site on the goudelis at www.thomo02.fsnet.co.uk/welcometo/corfu.html we have stayed there 3 times so far and going back in july, all i can say is i love it the fmily r terrific and cant wait to get back :))))))))))

We have just booked a last minute holiday to Sidari. It sounds a great place, but haven't come across any comments about the 'Goudelis Apartments'. Anyone heard of them or preferably stayed there who can give us an idea of what to expect (good or bad!!!) Thanks

stayed in elena studios and appartments, just outside sidari.The complex is really nice, the pool is excellent.The barmen tomas and josef are falling over themselves to help you. Parents stayed in room 9 and were dissapointed with it, but the rest were fine. Go to sunset beach for the view, but DO NOT EAT THERE, the food is terrible.I can reccomend, Calypso, bolero, the rose garden as excellent places to eat.There is a really nice chinese there too, can't remember the name, but it's not CHINA TOWN, they rip you off!!!
Enjoy Sidari, I loved it.

Thanks Teresa.The Dimitra are mostly studios,with just 2 apartments.Hawaii apartments look good,never stayed there,but used the pool a few times.In a good location, though.We have only been to Dorellas for a drink,not for food.What is the food like?When are you going to Sidari?We are going 25th july-9th august.Oh i forgot,the Dimitra are with Kosmar.

Always go to greece but never the same resort, until we tried sidari.This year will be our third in august. Sidari has everything for all age groups plenty af bars in sidari itself, or a short walk to the canal d'amour for a quiet drink.Restaurants been to a different one most nights & there is still loads to try. Highly recommend,the-bolero,good portions,or-simposio & villiage for great food.
Don't book trips with your REP total rip off,go see Philip Vlasseros he will save you some money ;family of 4 to aqualand saved us £30.00.

In reply to annie monahan's question try philip vlasseros he has accomodation, sure he could help you. :tel 0030 6630 9595 his office number. good luck:

11 of us are going to sidari in june 2003 6 adults & 5 kids. We are staying at the Elena apartments in agios yannis (just outside sidari, supposidly) has anyone been there and can you tell us if it is too far to walk to the beach and into Sidari. what are the owners like?

taking my grandchildren to sidari village all inclusive its a surprise for them and there mum going late october,can anyone give any views of the place .regards

Sidari Village All Inclusive - returned 19/5/2003
Airtours are tossers - rescheduled our flight without telling us so first 2 nights spent in Manchester
Rooms nice but resort is very steep - not good for people with walking difficulties
Food good - not much choice particularly at lunch Ok if you like eating what the locals like but got a bit samish towards the end. Daytime snax of questionable quality and service slooooow!
drinks not much choice on all inc pay drinks vastly overpriced compared to local bars service slow and staff sometimes seem reluctant to serve you
Entertainment good mini disco for kids from 8.30 (Micheal & Emma - V.Funny) some of ents a good laugh
Pool area nicely furnished and plenty of sunbeds
Beach not far and V.nice
Town not far nice bars and tavernas - hghly reccommend the 3 little pigs - down lane from complex (look over wall on RHS in daytime you may see terrapims sunbathing!) to end past lagoon bar turn left 100 yards first right on corner - food and service out of this world, greek entertainment 1st class and one of waiters looks like a greek version of Tom cruise in his Top gun days (my wife had her piccie took with him to prove it) top notch can't reccommend it highly enough
Would I go back? Corfu is stunning the weather was fantastic and Sidari V,nice - may go back bot not to Sidari Village

Thank you to Carol Klavon for letting us know about the Paradise Apts. We have been really lucky (long story!) and are now staying in the Hawaii apts back in the Canal D'Amour - 11 weeks to go. Are the Dimitri just studios or do they have apartments? Which tour operator are they with? Have a great time whenever you are going. Do you go to Dorellas?

There were 10 of us staying at the Dionyssos Pension in Sidari for the first week in May. The location of this accomodation is excellent and some rooms face the main street, others face the beach. We had a wonderful sea view. although it was cool during most the day (which we liked). The rooms facing the main street were basking in sunshine constantly which was hard when it was warm, although the rooms do have air conditioning systems in them which are quite good. TV leaves a lot to be desired, but we never bother much with it on hols anyway, but there weren't any decent channels, and we had problems trying to get a decent picture. The rooms are a good size, especially if you get a sea view. If you are a family of 4 or more I would specifically ask for room 11 - it's like a mini apartment with 2 beds, 2 bathrooms, good sized kitchen and good storage space - and 2 balconies (i think) overlooking the beach. The breakfast downstairs in the Dioyssos Restaurant is okay - it sets you up for the day. We eat most nights at The Sea Breeze - good food, good prices and not too bad service for Greece. We also visited the Hotel across the road (you can use their pool too) as their entertainment was pretty good, Greek Dancing, Karaoke etc, but beware the drinks prices, especially if you drink cocktails! Best to have a few elsewhere at half the price first. The accomodation was okay and we would go back, because of it's location. Sidari itself was lovely, and we all had a great holiday. The only drawback was that the Kosmar Rep took us on a detour via Ipsos & Dassia before taking us to Sidari, which was a journey of two and a half hours (although when we got on the bus, she said it would only be 50 mins!) It was the very same on return. Pleased to see a MacDonalds has opened which is great for kids. In May there wasn't much to keep kids entertained, but the swimming pool helps out there. Would recommend it, but do check all bills (especially in Corfu Town) as on a few occasions we had an extra 3/4 Euros each added after the usual cover charge! (VERY unusual in Greece, and a bit disappointing!) Still love the Greek people though, and you do feel as if you've had a rest - not like Spain at all!

Hi

we go out to Sidari next week. First hol abroad for the family, I have 3 young children under 10. We are staying at tereza'a pool apt.

Can anyone give me details of where the best places to take the kids in the area, to keep them amused.?

Where is the best and cheapest places to eat ?

there are 3-4 cash machines in corfu theres 1 outside a clothes shop and 1 outside a excurtions shop

Hi, My family and i are going to be staying at the paradise apartments in sidari which has just been built, can anybody tell me what they are like and if there are any cash machines in sidari any infomation will be greatful.

we've been going to corfu for 5 years now and the first place we stayed was sidari. We've been back there 4 times now and this year we went to Acharavi. While we were on our way to Acharavi in the coach we couldn't help but notice that sidari had a Mc Donalds. I feel that this is disgusting and anyone who eats there is stupid. You do not go to greece to eat english food and its pointless. Also they have a red lion BRITSIH pub what is the point? So having been bak to sidari im am disgusted with the way tourism has taken over and will not be returning to Sidari but will go to Acharavi where it has not been taken over by tourism.

Just back from a fortnight at Spiros Apartments in Sidari, the weather was great especially for May, the nightlife was quiet for the 1st week, then the bars and clubs opened up, Palazzo's was the best bar, and Faros seemed to be the best club along with Ceasars, the people were so nice, especially George our host at Spiros, Spiros was the cleanest, tidiest apartments in the area, so if you are thinking of going to Sidari, go to the Spiros Apartments - well worth it!

My boyfriend and i have been going to Sidari for many years.We are going back on 30th May and we always look forward to seeing our good friends.The food is very good and the apartments we have stayed in have been basic but clean and comfortable.If you want anymore info i will be pleased to reply.

Hello,
Me and my fella are flying out on the 01/09/03 to spend 2 weeks at Tereza's pool apartments. I have loads of questions, firstly how busy is the pool area likely to be as I have been spoilt the past 2 years in Turkey and Zante by having the pool nearly all to our selves. Not that I am a miserable git or anything, but I do like to know that after a heavy night on the cocktails I can stay in bed till 11:00 if I so wished and know that I would still get a sunbed (ie do I need to set the alarm for 7:00 and go out and put the towels out. Secondly whats the night life like, I like a variety, but I like it when after a few visits the waiters know your name and what you want. Also I am a huge fan of cheesy pop from 60s to present day, are the bars more that way rather than hardcore dance?

My last question is how much are we talking for a three course meal for two complete with a kilo or 2 of the house wine? also how much are beers/cocktails in general (can I have these prices in pounds please not euros)

I am very excited about the holiday, and have read a lot of the comments on this site, it does sound lovely.

Any info much appreciated

Cheers

I'm going back to Sidari on 4th July, I've got accomodation booked for one week but I want to stay out there for a month. I'm looking into studios to rent in advance, and also maybe a part time job. If anyone is going out there around this time and is interested in renting a studio please let me know. Also any tips, contact numbers, names etc would be appreciated.

Help. I URGENTLY need some information on what the Scorpios 2 Studios are like. We were due to stay at Cresta Apts, but the tour company has just changed that and offered us this alternative.

Some friends have booked a holiday in Sidari in August and I want to fly out to join them. Problem is I will be staying on my own... the usual web sites only do searches for 2 people sharing. Does anyone know of or can recommend a hotel, studio or apartment that caters for single travellers? I'm already bracing myself for those single person supplements! But, if I could get a flight and book my accommodation independently it could lower the cost. Can anyone help??

me and my girlfriend stopped at the perros apartments and they were really lovely, the bar guy caled claudio was really good and helpful, we only stayed for a week and loved every minute of it. We definitey recomment it to couples who want a nice relaxing day but a bit of livelyness at night

Hi, We've booked for Sidari Gardens and wondered if anyone has been recently (2003)? We would love to hear some comments, good or otherwise.

Going to Angela apts with Manos, anyone been there before?

In reply to Lisa Westbrookes query about The Sunshine Studios"my husband and our 4 kids have been to sidari 4 the 3rd time this year and we always go to the sunshine to use their pool, its so nice and clean and it has a slide for the kids, the atmosphere is fantastic and so is the food, especially their salads, the owners are wonderful and are always at hand if you need anything and they also make you evening exellent too by giving you different cocktails to try out!!!!.
We did not stay in their apts because they dont cater for six people to stay together but we know alot of people say they are very clean indeed and very comfortable.Hope enjoy sidari as much as we do, we would live their if we could, its enchanting. Use melitsa supermarket owned by george and his wife, they are lovely and very cheap too!!!!!

In reply to Teresa Waterman,we also have been for the last 7 years and also stop in the canal d'amour area.The Garnavos are behind the Paradise bar+restaurant, in the centre of Sidari,so i presume they will be near there.Also,we too go to Alexis restaurant all the time,and have made good friends with Alex and his family.What a terrific guy,a bit mad though.We love it that much we are staying at the Dimitra studios,this year,which are just on the track at the side of Alex's.Not far to roll home after a late night there.Ha Ha.Nice to know someone else appreciates good food at inexpensive prices,and notforgetting Alex,of course.

Hi, Me and boyfriend R going 2 Sidari on the 9th June 4 2 weeks. We will b staying in the Sunshine Studios and Apartments. Can anyone give us any information on what they are like and what sidari is like generally. Thanx.

We have stayed at the Sunflower Apts twice before and are returning for a 3rd time in July. Yiannis and Irene, the owners, are a lovely couple and can't do enough for you. Apts are pretty basic but have everything you could need.
Sunflower is only 5 minutes walk from the large supermarkets and a further 10 minutes into the centre of town.
The bar is open until very late and the snack bar is great, with everything freshly made as you order.

Want to book for two weeks in July. The choice is between the Stema II studios and the Eleni apartments. I have been to sidari before but i cant work out where either of these would be. also would like to know what they are like if anyone can help. Cheers

We have ben going to Sidari for 7 years and usually stay in the Canal D'Amour area. We are a bit disappointed as this year we have had our accommodation changed to the Paradise Apartments (newly built from April 2003). Thye are apparently near the Garnavos apartments. Please can anyone tell us where this are situated?

Would recommend a stroll up to Alexis Restaurant - 10 min walk from Canal D'Amour towards Peroulades Village. Alex is an Olympiakos fan and you can be a life long friend is you support them. The food is fantastic and cheap.

In reply to Rob Cooper, I stayed at the Polixenia appartments with my husband and 15 year old daughter, we also went with friends with a daughter of 14, we had a fantastic time, the beaches were lovely and the people at Polixenia were smashing!! So much so, we are returning there again this august!! You'll love it!!

My boyfriend and I are going to the Varvara Appartments in June 2003. We are getting worried as the brochure said situated on the outskirts of Sidari, but when we checked the tour operators website they said 20 min walk to the outskirts of Sidari. Has anybody got any info as to where they actually are situated or anybody ever stopped there before. Let us know. Ta, KP

ME AND MY FAMILY ARE GOING TO SIDARI IN THREE WEEKS WE ARE STAYING AT THE SUNFLOWER APTS COULD YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LIKE AND WHAT THE LOCATION IS LIKE THANKYOU

Hi, my hubby and i and our 4 kids have been to sidari twice and absolutely love it, so much, we are going back on the 14th of July for 2 weeks. On our first visit we stayed in the "Mykios apartments"in peroulades and the owner lived next door,what a lovely man, he couldnt do enough for us and our kids, our apartment was 1st class. On our second visit we stayed in the opposite end of sidari in the "Khouros apts" they were not as good as mykios apts and they could have been cleaner! but they had a huge garden where we played bat and ball, footie and just had fun,lovely.just on the left of the apts was our favourite bar called "Baze" owners George(greek) and his wife Sam (english) were brilliant and their food is second to none (try their baze special salad,tremendous!). I must stress do not go to the "CAPTAINS" restaurant, its a total rip-off. If you want little gifts go to "HELLENAS" in the canal d'Amour opposite "Melitsa" supermarket she is much cheaper and even puts your gifts in little boxes with ribbons and wraps them for you."Melitsa"supermarket is owned by George Hellas and his wife, very lovely people. This year we are staying at "Sidari Gardens Village" AI.Comments from 2003 please.

I've read a comment on the Socrates Apartments next to the Aquarius. Are they the ones with the Rock Restaurant? Which brochure are they in? Thanks!

p.s. Sidari is a belting resort for any age. To all you lucky people going this year - you lucky,lucky people - ENJOY!!!!

last year we went to Sidari Polixenia apartments - we came back within
a few weeks we rebooked same place - terrific family run place - had one of the best hols. Lovely location, near two beaches , loads of bars tavernas and 20 min stroll gets you to the busy part - brilliant too - my husband and i went there over twenty years ago - we stayed in a hotel which is still there and was only maybe two other hotels the rest consisted of a few tavernas and bars - well where Polixenia is - is a little livlier than that was all those years ago - so we can have a quieter place during the day and enjoy the night life if we wish in the evenings - you will love it - roll on august for us i am trying to send an e mail or fax to try and get two adjacent rooms as we are meeting up with our friends from up north - they too feel the same as us.

I would like, either a fax number or e-mail address for the Polixenia Apartments in Corfu please.

am staying at the takis apartments in sidari in august. we like small hopefully clean quiet apartments, are we on the right track? not into clubbing as going with two girls 10 and 13 but do like good food. any suggestions?

Hello there, I'm going to Sidari in May (thats ten days hooray) Staying at the monika apartments would love to hear from anyone who has visited. Also any excellent places i need to know about Thanks

loved sidari so much im going back to work this summer YES!!!!!!!

We (a family of 4 including a 13 year old daughter & a 14 year old son)are going to Sidari in July, staying at the Polixenia studios and apartments. Anybody been to polixenia? or does anybody have any advice?

Hi I stayed at the sellas appartments last year, it was great, the food in all the restuarants we went to were brilliant, I do recommend the chinease too.. Does anyone have any info on the Sunset appartments by the Canal D Amor? We are going there May.

Can anyone give me any advise on:-
1.local transport in Sidari. -Taxis, buses, bicycle hire etc.
2.Traditional Greek restaurants in Sidari.
3.Best supermarkets to purchase "in-house" food and drink!!

In reply to Adrian Hills request for info on the Sidari Village, we were there some 4 years ago and it was ok, nothing to write home about, Airtours (as always) have overrated the accomodation, it should be no more than a AAA rating, on a plus the resort itself is fabulous, the beach great, the locals even better. The cleanliness of the hotel was excellent, the buffet style food was decidedly bland and 'warm' rather than hot. Great for kids though with plenty to do and the water park nearby (Don't book any excursions at the welcome meeting ; you will save plenty of hard earned Euros by booking them in the resort centre.)

We have been to Sidari 9 or 10 times and stayed in a variety of accomodation, we would highly recommend the Stema 2 Studios in Sidari (we've been 4 times)and i'm a travel agent! Great location, nice pool, use of the Stema 1's facilities and one of a few in Sidari with Air Con, great hosts, great place. I'm going back again on May 16th (Alas they are now full for that week but mail me if you need a cheap deal any other time! ;) )

the best of many good resorts on the island sidari has agreat beach, loads of good eaterys[and also some poor ones,, beware] good shops and some great bars, but best of all the locals will love you, and not just for the money in your pocket

Am going to Sidari in August and am staying in the Lourvos apartments. Any info would be helpful!
Thanks Jo Ann

Hi, are there any nice comment on the Alexander Apartments in Sidari, getting worried now about the last comment i received before!

Hi
my family are staying in Sidari in August and will be staying at the canal d'armour apartments, has anybody been to these apartments, what are they like?
Thanks!

IF ITS THE ALEXANDRA NEAR THE SUPERMARKET, IT DROVE US CRAZY, WERY SMALL AND BASIC APTS NO POOL, AND A RESIDENT FARMYARD NEXT DOOR AS WELL AS A VERY LARGE FUNCTION ROOM. SIDARI AS A RESORT IS A WONDERFUL PLACE JUST THE APTS PUT A DAMPNER ON IT.

can anyone help, we are a family of 5 going to Sidari in may 2003, have not been there before and just after a little info. we will be staying at the Scorpios 2 appts. any good places to take the kids and places to eat. how about getting to appts from airport, how much are the taxis, and are there taxis that will take 5. many thanks any help would be much appreicated.

In reply to Jean Taylor - We will be staying at Socrates (Canal d'Amour) in June. Having visited Sidari now for some 12 years, we can thoroughly recommend the resort. Be sure to visit the Aquarius taverna next to Socrates & adjacent to Kanali apartments - the taverna is run by Spiros & serves 1st class food in good surroundings with brilliant views & excellent staff.
The Socrates apartments themselves are approx. 30-40 metres from the sea/beach in an area of small coves. The main Sidari beach is a pleasant stroll away of about 10 minutes. Main centre of Sidari is about 20 minutes walk, passing several shops, tavernas & restaurants, all of whom make you very welcome.
The whole atmosphere is brilliant for a 1st class holiday, so have a great time!

IN REPLY TO ALISON LIMB.WE HAVE ALSO BOOKED TO GO TO THE DIMITRA STUDIOS ON 25 JULY.WE HAVNT STAYED THERE BEFORE BUT THEY LOOK NICE.THEY ARE ABOUT 10 MINS TO THE CANAL D'AMOUR AREA AND 25 MINS TO CENTRE OF SIDARI,BUT IT IS A NICE WALK.THEY ARE NEAR A LOCAL TAVERNA CALLED ALEXIS WHICH SERVES GREAT INEXPENSIVE FOOD.ALEX,THE OWNER IS A GREAT GUY.IF YOU GO BEFORE ME,SAY HI TO HIM FROM ME.

Went to Sidari last May and stayed at Louisa Apts and loved the area. Going back this year in May with some friends and staying at Socrates Apts in Canal d'Amour. I wondered if anyone had stayed there and could give me some info.

I have been to the Yannis Village Apartments, Sidari for the last 7 years. I have loved every single minute of it and me and my family always end up crying before we leave.The staff are really friendly speshly Telis.Weve made such good friends with him now, he refuses to come down and say goodbye to us. I would recommend it to any family, couple or younger people. Its a really good place to be and i wish i could tell you all just how amazing it is. however, one hotel i would not recommend you stayin in is the Sidari village. Its on a massive hill, you see minibuses going up and down, its on a really steep hill. Its close to the main town and the beach buts its not the best in Sidari.

the best place in europe , we have been going twice a year for 9 years and you will understand we quite like the place,,,

Does anyone have any info on the Sidari Village

If anyone needs any info about Sidari then I would be more than happy to help. I worked at premier bar and the Astoria hotel. The premier bar has an excellent atmosphere and has the most amazing cocktails, the staff are friendly and they have computers for using the internet also. The astoria hotel is a family run hotel and resturaunt, and the food is unreal.

Thank you

we want to go to corfu in july thinking about sidari but want to know if the nightlife is lively? heard kavos is awful so not going there!
any comments appreciated!

FOR GARY GOODMAN - Never actually stayed in the summertime apartments but know where they are - based in Canal D'Amour area of Sidari - brilliant if you're taking children. Very peaceful yet only 10 min walk into Sidari. The best pool is Khalua pool (directly across the road and just up the incline) trust me!

Good restuarants - Damia's Yard, Three Little Pigs and Maria's (Maria's not the greatest of food but great atmosphere and the kids love it).

Hope you enjoy - I've been going for 9 years (also with friends with small children and they've been back 3 times)!

Have been to Corfu on many occasions and still find myself wanting to go back every year. People are so very friendly and most accomodation I have stayed in has been excellent. Only bad experience was when I stayed in Scorpio apartments which were to be honest bloody awfull!
Best accomodation has to be Elisa Apartments and Potimmous Apartments. Both run by truly lovely people and make the Sidari experience complete.
