I went to Corfu in 2002, we stayed in Sadari, the place was great and we enjoyed everythin apart from the horse riding. It started off with us getting in a smelly 13 ppl coach and driving to the ranch (not to sure what it was called). We thought it would be good as it was just me and my sister without our parents, how wrong were we? Firstly, they took our picture when we didnt even know so we were looking in the opposite direction of the camera , also they said it would be taken on the beach, it was taken on a dirt track, then they tried to charge us 8 euros for them. The second disappointment was that included in the price we were supposed to get cold drinks, obviously they forgot. id say they spent the money on the horses but looking at them i dont think so. Thirdly, the horses stayed in line, there was no way you could get to move your horse as they had done the same thing day in and day out for god knows how many years and after about 5 minutes of riding i was talking to my sister who was riding behind me. At the end of the ride we were coming back into the ranch when my horse started running and trying to buck me off, which i must admit was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. then it was back on the coach and back to the comfort of our hotel. cant fault anything else but DONT DO THE HORSE RIDING EXTERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hated this place. it is definatly not a good idea to come here for a day out if you have children. there was alot of tension in our family after we decided to go to corfu town for a trip. most of the shops were closed and the shops that were open were rubbish, we didnt buy a single thing and we were there all day. my parents enjoyed it though. im not saying its not for everyone but be warned that its cobbled streets an ur best not taking a pram, not only that but there are so many people aswell

Sidari - (Resorts on Corfu)

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
