The experience

The Canal d'Amour sits 38 kilometers north of Corfu city between Sidari and Peroulades, carved into sandstone cliffs by water and wind. The opening creates small caves and turquoise channels that shift with the seasons. You get free time to swim and sunbathe in the water and along the rocks.

Porto Timoni lies below Afionas village and actually consists of two beaches separated by a narrow strip of land. The walk down from the village square takes about twenty minutes on a steep, uneven path, but the payoff is the closed bays and very clear water. One cove has regular blue water, the other deep blue, and they hold different temperatures. San Stefanos, six kilometers northwest of Sidari, is a long sandy beach ringed by greenery with soft sand and shallow water. Taverns and cafeterias line the shore, and lunch is optional at a restaurant next to the beach.

The tour runs six hours total and operates in all weather, so bring appropriate clothing. You travel by private vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off included, and the driver speaks English. Choose between a tour for five to seven people or a tour with driver only, depending on your group size.

What is the Canal d'Amour and why is it special?

How difficult is the walk down to Porto Timoni?

The path from Afionas village square to Porto Timoni takes about twenty minutes, but it is steep and uneven in many spots, so wear sturdy shoes and take your time. The effort leads to two secluded coves with very clear water separated by a strip of land.

Can I eat lunch during the tour?

Lunch is not included in the tour price, but San Stefanos has taverns and cafeterias along the beach, and one restaurant sits right next to the shore where you can order a meal during your free time there.

What should I bring for a six-hour beach tour in Corfu?

Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a hat and water shoes or sandals for rocky areas. The tour includes bottled water, but food and drinks are not covered, so pack snacks or plan to buy lunch at San Stefanos. Dress for the weather, as the tour runs in all conditions.
