Sidari

I had the pleasure of returning to Corfu, unfortunately I had a very, very bad experience whilst shopping in Sidari.

sidari is s**t hot nice beach, sea, loada bars cheap!!! can relax as well as party cant wait 4 next time. stayed at lagoon apart.. no compliants wotsoeva

Hi Liz, I have been going to Sidari for the past 4 years now, saw a wedding there last august, it was lovely at the Lagoon Apts, they had their reception at Dioysis or something like that its on the strip, they decorated it for them and they said it was gorgeous, english and greek food, or try The 3 Brothers Hotel, it is gorgeous inside there, all the restaurants go all the way through to the beach, which is lovely, try either of these two, not sure about the town hall, this couple were married outside they said, about 10 mins from sidari, they had a coach and everything laid on all booked via First Choice, but they said it was magical and gorgeous day and night, good luck

thinking of booking one bed apts at the san george but dont wont to be next to pool would studios be better
steve......

Could anyone tell me the name of the appartments behind the Champion Bar as my husband and myself used to stay there every year for 9 years and were very friendly with the family that own it, I have not got any communication details of them  as I've lost Theo's phone number and we have not been for 5 years. They are no longer in the Kosmar brochure and need the Address to make a booking.  I would really appreciate it if anyone could find out these details for me. My email address is olive_oil56@yahoo.co.uk  

My wife & I are just back from having a fantastic holiday. We stayed in the Petrakis Apts we were well looked after and highly recommend staying here.

Hey everyone looking for some help......

Do any of you know the surrounding villages/towns that are not too far away? The internet hasn't been very useful I'm afraid

Please Help I'm dying to see her

To RICH AND THERESA

Just got back after visiting for a number of years. Sea Breeze and Memories resaurants are 2 great places to eat and very very good value for money. Can get a 3 course meal for less than a fiver and its good food.

richard and teresa id invise you to try the oylimpic restuarant its really good and if you speak to them in advance of the wedding day i think they could accomidate your wishes

richard im 45 and going back to sidari for my 16 time and i wouldnt say sidari cebtre is for the young ones all you have to do is was just off the centre for quiet bars

weather is still warm but a lot of places are closing down about middle of october

Hi Richard,

(well maybe mentally I am)

Hi eveyone just wondering i fanybody can help me. I absolutely adore corfu and especially Sidai as it was the first place we went on a family holiday.back in 2004. Th e only problem that i have is that the apartments that we stayed at Spiros are no longer operated by Thomsons and i dont know if anybody else has taken it on. Does anybody know if you can still book to go to Spiros as it was absolutely fab it is the best holiday i have ever had 

The Lagoon apartments are about 100 yards from the beach, close by to the Mimosa hotel.There are many restuarants where you can have a reception,The Three Brothers is ideal and just around the corner from the lagoon.Bouavias(if thats how you spell it) is a popalar greek restuarant(my favourite).I cant for tyhe life of me think where the town hall is.Beware of mosquitos at the Lagoon,I have been many times by there and always people have been bitten.It has bingo nearly every night,new films,football matches,right opposite a little kids fair.It does look very nice from the outside and there always plenty of people there which could tell you something.I hope this has been slightly helpful,I am going to sidari tonight

Hi everyone.

 I would just like to thank everyone who responded to my post, especially 'Alison Holloway'who provided us with pics of the ektor apartments and an insight into what to expect. Your comment were all very much appreciated. We are really looking forward to our holiday in Sidari altho this is the first time we have done self catering and stayed in apartments .We have always taken the easy 'all inclusive' option in the past when the children were much younger as it worked out easier and probably cheaper for us. We now feel its time to move on and explore other areas and i'm sure it will make the holiday more enjoyable instead of being tied to one place for the duration.I'm a little worried but, your comments and recommendations will help us,i'm sure. Thanks again Jane x

Hi how are you Im not sure the name of the road but it is on the main road in the town, also check out premier bar  thats good too

Hi everyone!  Does anyone know the address of Calypso Bar in Sidari? What road is it on? Thanks

its great and a lovely place i think sidari is much better than the town centre. i stayed at othonas and everyone is friendly wherever you go, i think the best place i ate at was the olympic restaurant its got lovely food and lovely staff. xxxxx you should go there!!!!!!!!!its right near loads of supermarkets the beach and gift shops its quite cheap and afordable its great for familys. i went with mine and othonas and the olympic restaurant was both warm welcoming and othonas has a pool and bar which is public so you can meet new people!!!!!!!!  thank you for reading this long comment now i think you should go there! have fun.

Hi there going to Sidari on the 1rst August this year for the 5th time.Been there at different times of the year and would say July or August are the best times to go as they are the busiest times of the year aswell as the hottest. Absolutly love it would recommened staying at the Zafiris appts, staff are really freindly and always helpful. Can't wait to visit again this year.

If you get a coach transfer from airport to resort by first choice and your rep is Ann make sure you say hello. Thats mother and stepdad Roy will be in 'Legends Apartments' every evening so pop in for a drink. Will always be a friendly welcome.

Going back to Sidari for what will be 2nd year in a row and for the 4th time overall. Place is brilliant, fly out 29th June and cannot wait.

Hi Jane,

sidari is great for all ages.myself and family have been going there for 6 yrs now. were booked again at the same appartments the paridise.wouldnt go anywhere else. the red lion for adult entertainment for sure, but there is plenty of variaty to choose from,and eating places to choice.good beach and water park recommended. so enjoy

Yes there are cash machines in Sidari

Hi everyone,

For those of you off to Sidari for the first time then you will be pleasantly surprised - I always stay in the Lagoon apartments which are good quality and spotlessly clean so I cannot comment on other accomodation . One thing you all have to bear in mind is that their sanitation system is not as good as ours - loo roll should not be flushed down the loo !!

The town of Sidari is lively, plenty of restaurants and bars to get entertained, - you should all try the "little pigs" greek restaurant - it is so good!

Another place to try is the Red Lion pub  in Sidari , if you are broad  minded then this is the place for you - their entertainment is excellent BUT YOU MUST NOT BE EASILY OFFENDED !! and it isn't really a place for youngsters.

The beach is clean and well maintained

On a scale of 1 - 10 I would give full marks for Sidari - the only downside is the transfer from the Airport ...it is never ending .......!!

Hope you all enjoy  your holiday

could u please show me a map of how far "takis apartments" are from the main beach and nightlife!!!! thanks

We go at the begining of October weather mixed but it does get cold at night

WE HAVE BEEN TO SIDARI  AND STAYED AT THE CHRISTAKIS HOTEL APARTMENTS FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS,WE HAVE MADE MANY FRIENDS IN THAT TIME,NEVER EATEN IN THE MAIN TOWN,ALWAYS HEARING COMPLAINTS,THATS WHY WE KEEP TO THE OUTSKIRTS,WE FOUND THE BEST ONES ARE, CACTUS JACKS, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, THE MYTHOS. SYMPOSIO, WE WILL RETURN AGAIN.

 LOVELY LITTLE PLACE,IT WAS A BIT QUIETER THAN WE EXPECTED,BUT THAT MEANT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT FOR A SEAT IN RESTARAUNTS AND BARS. I THINK IF WE RETURN HERE IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN WE DID. 

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sidari, actually it was our second time in 5 years. This time we stayed at the San George Hotel Appartments. The Hotel and Pool area were very nice and clean as were the rooms. The staff George, Achillies, Georgia and Mamma were very friendly and helpful. We will go back and stay there again.

Just got home from Sidari  ,thoroughly enjoyed it .. the ppl there were really friendly , the weather was great .Went on  a trip to Paleokastistas (how ever it spelt) had a fantastic day out .. the scenery and the sea was awesome .The boat trip was really enjoy able.all for about 4 pound each.. a good  8 hour day out..was well worth it..We ate in the pub catcus jacks . the food there was out of this world , compliments to the chef. The staff and owners there were really friendly and helpful.. The guitarist there for a young guy was out of this world.. He has a great future..The evening finished with a few beers up on the rocks at canal da mor .Wot a site it was sat up there.. We will definatley be going there again..Everyone was so friendly..only draw bk was the bites from the mossys but theylll heal.Thanks Corfu for making my week a kool one.. :O)

Sorry, just not our scene. Plenty of people in all age-groups there but;  McDonalds, chinese, mexican, indian curry houses and english bar after bar is not my idea of Greece, might just as well have been in England.  Great if your life consists of tattoos, chicken nuggets, wearing football shirts and ending up in a drunken heap.  Deserves more for the beaches (but you still can't get away from the life style even there) so sorry, not for us.

Just Stayed at Sellas and we thought it was lovely. Nice and friendly and really close to everything!!

For Donna Gow.

Hi Donna,  not been to the sellas before, but a friend has & he says it’s good.

Eating out, come out of the sellas hotel on to the main road, turn left, on the same side of the road is three really good restaurants, symposia is the first one you come to, further on is mythos, next door to that is the family restaurant run by marco & rita very friendly.

If you try these you won’t be disappointed. Hope you have a good one!!. Enjoy your stay in sidari.

  i have been going to sidari now for the past five years, because we truly love the place & the people!!!! mel lolx

Hi Jess, Don’t go by coach if you can help it!, go by taxi it only takes about 40 minutes. Normally costs between 40& 50 euros.

Cheers Gary

to brian lynch, thank you for the imformation that was very kind of you to take the time.many thanks once again. ian jacques.

Just got back from Sidari again, went out for our 40th wedding aniversary with family and friends, age range from 16 to 64 all had a great time as usual, only disappointment was that Matthew has sold the Bolero Bar and moved to Ammus bar at San Spyridon. George is still at Bolero along with Sarah, Sammy has gone to Premier bar a few doors up. Stayed at Lagoon Hotel which is nice and central very clean and the staff are fantastic. This is us in Bolero Bar sharing a drink from Yannis the new owner.

after 10 years of travelling to sidari me and my family keep going back its sooo amazing, we know soo many people, best places to eat and drink etc and all day trip excursions... which ones to do and avoid.

sorry me again! Ive just wrote below and forgot to ask if anyone knows of any schools for our son to attend once we move any comments will be appreciated

hi we have just returned from our holiday in sidari as my parents live there! They are ann and roy from legends bar and are very well known! We loved our time there so much that my husband and i are moving with our 3 year old son to sidari next may! Once you go to sidari you will never want to leave.You must give legends a go for a good night out but then i am biased!! If anyones going before our next visit in september then tell them we said hi!

the drink prices are ok its about 4euros for a vodak and coke etc and about 3euros for a pint of beer which is normally mythos of amstel resturant prices are great if ya big eater go to bed bar .........also the tex mex mexican above shakers i think is a great meal and value for money i juts got back 2days ago from spending two weeks out there loved every minute of it

Booked last minute to Angeliki apts in Sidari best phone call I've ever made.  The apts are away from the town centre but only a five minute taxi ride away, so you've got the best of both worlds, but believe me once you've been welcomed by George and his lovely family you can party any time of the day or night.  First time we've been to Corfu but it definately wont be the last and we'll be heading straight for Angeliki and George or as he is better known "What time is it" - "Shot Time".  We were there for two weeks and can honestly say we enjoyed every minute, never stopped laughing, totally relaxing and just like being part of one big happy family.  Apartments are basic but spotless clean but hey when you're having a fab holiday who wants to stay in their apts? Missing George and Mario already only got back yesterday! Oh Fab place to eat is Mythos in Sidari town, take my advice don't order a starter you'll never get through it all!!!

ive just got home from sidari, which was my best holiday ever...we stayed in the "corfu parmar" hotel and it was gorgeous, it was very clean and the staff were really friendly, i have to say if u want a good night out the best bars to go to are shakers calypso especially and falcon, they play the best music and offer the best to everyone.. im gonna miss all the people that we got friendly with and i hope we keep in touch luv yas xx

KATE- go to callipso bar ... is good and cesers club if thats how u spell it has foam partys one day a week i wouldnt take any thng u dont want getting wet phone etc because u will get soaked there is another club bar place called ice i think  thats ok every thing drinks is quite cheap some places do better deals than others tho i go to sidari all the time e mail me if u want sxcgrgs@hotmail.co.uk

 i ,m just bk from sidari stayed at rebeccas village first time in corfu and i was very impressed.every thing about the place was brill........ 

Hello

There are many local travel agents DO NOT USE REP very expensive shop around we always use Value Plus next to Southern Fried Chicken on main street excellent service.

You need to be a very stong swimmer to swim through the canal

Hi I am visiting sidari the first 2 weeks in August, can anyone suggest the best place to organise a trip to albania and if you have swam through the canal, do you have to be a good swimmer

Hi we had a fab week in Sidari last year and met some lovely people, Hi Dede and Ray, we stayed on the outskirts of the town (Elena Appts, great place) but it did not dampen our fun, our best day was when we hired a boat just the two of us, we found a secluded beach and enjoyed the peace and beauty. This year we are back on 13th July for two weeks and we are staying at the St George Appts, we are really looking forward to it.   I would recomend this beautiful Island to family's and couples alike, there is something for everyone, hope you have as much fun as we do.

Hi to all you people heading toSidari 

 Hope Adele, olga, Laura and friends I made are out there again working this year it was a blast.

 I shall be staying at the ever faithful  

 Ian  

the bars in greece are not like the bars here, i have 2 girls aged 11 and 8 and my friend has a 4 year old they all sat with us in 1 of the bars to watch the world cup and there wasnt any problems you should be fine like i said things are different over there to here! have a nice holiday! i know we did last year out there in sidari!

 You will have no trouble taking children in the bars my 6 year old grandson has been going since he was 6 months old

Peter

Hi, me and my girlfriend (28 and 25) have just returned after being in Sidari for a week. I was a bit sceptical about the place as i heard it was very British and was a little worried about our hotel (Sellas) as it had been so cheap to book the hol!! Was totally blown away on both counts. The beach is gorgeous, easily the best on the island, and we saw quite a few!! I thought the nightlife was amazing, u could either go mad and drink till the early hours with good music and a 'young' crowd or u could sit back and relax and watch the world go by in a quieter bar. There was a wide mix of people there (mainly brits but it doesnt have a 'blackpool' feel) young and old, couples and singles but without the gangs of predatory drunken yobs or cackling, foul mouthed hen parties that you tend to get in the livlier resorts. I advise B and B or self catering as there is such a wide choice of food and restaurants availiable that you are unlikely to want to stick to the same place every night. Boat trips and hire cars are a must, Paleo was the nicest destination by far. Its best to see the agents in town for these, we went to Phillip the campest travel agent in greece for ours, he was hilarious!! The Hotel Sellas was a good place to stay, basic but the location more than made up for it, it was nice and quiet away from the main road but only a 2 min walk to beach and bars and the pool was lush. All this applies to Jun when we went, i expect it gets a lot busier and hectic in Jul/Aug with a lot more kids running around!! Highly recommended for any age..

  We went in June 2006, and we are going back in July this year we are staying   at Akti Aphrodite Hotel there is 6 of us going. We stayed at Akti Aphrodite Apartments part of the hotel, apartments were very clean and nice rooms.  The hotel facilities were good the owner and staff are very friendly. Sidari great for people of all ages, very flat and easy to get about, lots of bars and shops, we would recommend mythos, the family (next door to mythos) and pizza romano these are great places to eat well worth a visit. Greek people are very friendly, theres even a (small) mc donalds.  Midas is a great jewellers go in and see for yourself. There's also great watersports, a visit to Corfu town and Corfu waterpark is essential. Can't wait to go back, we feel it's well worth a visit.

Sue and Dave

We were a party of 5 that stayed at the Spiradoula Apts 7/5/07, we all had a lovely time the weather was beautiful, the apartments were clean and well run by George and his staff , all very freindly and helpful, it is about a mile walk to the bars etc but once you have enjoyed yourself you can always get a taxi back!so if you get the chance to stay there we are sure you will have a wonderful time

me and my boyfriend went to sidari last year and stayed in the beach star hotel. we both had a great time and are going in july 07. we are staying at the marco mimosa hotel. the beach is great and so are the bars. we loved boleros. the two bar men there sammy and george are well funny. also mikeys. where lee, craig and yannie work. youll have a good time in there. if anyone has stayed at the marco mimosa hotel could you email me and let me know what its like. if you go try memories it does amazing food and cactus jacks is well worth a visit. water sports are good but they didnt have jet skis . if your planning any trips go on the bbq boat trip, unlimited food and booze and swimming in the caves is the best part. every thursday at ceasers theres a foam party which is a gaurented laugh.

We went in October last year it was really warm in the day but got cool in the evenings.I have sent you an email with a www address to have a look at .I will say in October there was lots of wasps

Alison

 My wife & I have just returned from a fortnight in Sidari, we stayed in the Legend Apartments, owned by Takis, & run by his staff, (a more friendly & hospitable crew would be  hard to find), Roxy & George kept us fed & watered, Ann made sure everyone was made welcome on arrival, no matter what time of day/night, as well as acting as waitress, her husband Roy, resident DJ & Compere,entertained us with his numerous quizzes, called the Bingo in his unique West Country accent, held the Karaoke together, some nights it needed it!!!!

Hi all,

WENT TO SIDARI LAST YEAR 3 TIMES, MAY, JUNE AND AUGUST. EACH TIME STAYED AT LEGENDS.IF YOU WANT, PLENTY OF DRUNKEN NIGHTS, OR A CASE OF BRITS ON THE P-SS PLEASE DON'T GO TO SIDARI. KAVOS IS THE PLCE FOR YOU.SIDARI IS A  LAID BACK EXPERIENCE OF GREEK  HOSPITALITY. PLEASE LEAVE THIS PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME FOR A RELAXING HOLIDAY WITHOUT ANY GRIEF. THANK YOU. MICK AND BARB POYSER.

hey me and a mate to sidari in oct 06

sadie

Hey me and my friend went to Sidari in October 06' it was absolutely wikid n were def goin back next year!! The nighlife is amazin we didnt get back till 7.30/8 most mornings and the bars are crazy. Make sure you go the the ICE club its wicked and the BED bar, we spent most our nights there. Everyone is so friendly over there especially the waiters and the barman who are absolutely gorgeous! One thing to remeber you may not have a shower curtain...we didnt and found ourselves slipping over abit!! It is an absolutely brill place I def recommend it!

we have being to Sadari 4 times now in 3 years and are going again in june 07, we find it it to be absaloutley brilliant and enjoy it every time we go. We have stayed in different accomodation every time and found evey one of them to be very nice and they all have lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and help to ensure your stay is a good one.We have become firm friends with dianne & stamati and there boys who own the blue sky, which is where we stayed the first time. The blue sky is about ten minutes walk down to the beach and is a small quiet but very nice and friendly place to stay. The locals remember you if you go back a second time which we found to be very nice.We like it that much that we are looking at moving to Sadari to live in a few years time.We can reccomend Sadari to young couples, elderly couples, single people and deffinatley families as there is something for everyone. 

Sidiar is a fantastic place to take a holiday whether its for singles or families, you will find something for everyone.  Plenty of places to eat, the kebab house is open until 6am, so when you crawl out the bars at 3am you can still get something to eat, and the kebabs are to die for not like the ones here and really cheap.

We have been going to Sidair for the past 6 years, this year spent 6 weeks there.  Have never once been bored or tired of the place as there is always something going on, when I come home I cant wait to go again (which will be July 2007).  BOLERO BAR on the main street is the most fantastic place on earth, perhaps not as posh as some of the bars but such a wonderful atmosphere.  The staff are great, and very entertaining, especially Sexy Sam and Georgeous George, you will go in a stranger and come out a friend.  From the owner to the chef they just cant do enough for you. You always feel safe in Sidari, my husband and I walk along the beach early hours on the morning its wonderful (I wouldnt walk down my street at home after dark). There are plenty of trips to go on, but dont go with the reps as you will pay twice the price for the same trip, even though they say its not, there are plenty of tourist places throughout the town, all charging about the same price.  You must go to Paleo either on the coach or boat.

MAYBE SEE YOU IN SIDARI - DONT FORGET GIVE BOLEROS A TRY -

Just got back from Sidari this morning. Holiday was amazing. We were staying in the Orestis Apartments, these were great, away from all the noise but not too far away. Anyone travelling to Sidari be careful as we heard from someone of a sickness bug and 4 out of 6 of our party had the bug within our stay. Also when eating out CHECK YOUR BILL as bars tried to rip us off and get extra money out of us. Dont eat at DORETHEAS CORNER as the food is rubbish and they rip you off for things you havent even eaten. Keep a note of the prices as they seem to change when you confront the waiter. Also next to the ICE BAR there is a shop selling trips to people. DONT BOOK IT HERE as we paid 16 euros each for a waste of a day out. We got told we would be on a glass bottom boat with a trip around some scenic views, into a cave then to Paradise beach for a BBQ. HA paradise??!! dont make me laugh. This so called "Paradise Beach" is an area full of pebbles that kill your feet, the caves were a hole in the mountain and we was told the boat held 100 when it held 90. When 80 were on the boat there was no room so we got made to go in a speed boat straight to the beach, missing all the scenic views. We were also told we could get off the boat and swim at the caves. Did we heck do this!! When we complained we were told "the water was too cold" when actually it was warm. DO NOT BOOK ANYTHING WITH THE MAN IN HERE. Check out MIKEYS BAR Its amazing in there and has a great atmosphere especially when the drag queens on "Lady Jayne" It really is a great night out and the staff are amazing. They also do a good brekkie in a morning. Palazii Bar, Falcon Bar, Calypso, BED, all great bars and we made some great friends whilst among them. They really are worth checking out. Anybody wants any extra info on where to eat, where to visit, email me on chelsie12345@hotmail.co.uk.

Had a great time at Sidari, stayed at the Stema II apartments, where the nicest lady, Paula made sure we were looked after.  Went to Albania for the day, be interesting to see again in a few years time. The mozzies were something else and I am still in lumps one week after coming back.  All in all it was a very nice place and the entertainment at the Greek night was brilliant.

We are flying to Sidari on Tuesday but don't arrive til late. Probably about midnight!

Does anyone know if there will be food of some sort available so late in the night and late in the season or should we take some pasta to cook when we get there?

Thanks all.

Also can anyone recommend a nice place to eat that doesn't cost the earth.

Andrea.

 Have just returned from Sidari after 2 fantastic weeks there this was my first time in Greece or on a greek island. I travelled alone but found the people all extremely friendly and fun.

 Visit Mojitos Beach Bar  and enjoy the atmosphere good music and friendly service,  Felt like part of the family.

 If you want night life there is enough around for most or if you want to chill then that too is available, if you drive hire a car for a few days as cheap as 20 Euros a day inclusive with lots of Coves and villages to see.  I hope to go back next year and visit to meet up with friends I have made and maybe to go out on some of the various trips that are available.

 Warning to all you ladies travelling    look out for a character called  Elias  at Mojitos he will sweep you off your feet and   well need I say more about him; you have been warned!!

  The person travelling alone, you will be made to feel welcome, i had no problems when i was there alone, with my young daughter, and felt totally safe, try Mojos, bar, somewhere you can sit, listen to good music and watch the world go round. Say hello to the DJ Billy, his my son there, we wnt there in July and had agreat time, friendly people. Hope you enjoy your holiday

new

I had a wicked holiday , quality nightlife was out  everynight till early hours of the morning, i am terrified of wasps aswell and they didnt stop followin so i was forced to stay in the pool all day.  would definetly go back next year. x

Hi peeps, we got home on Monday night (4th Sept) and everything was still in full swing when we left so you should be ok for the nightlife side of things.  Drinks aren't that cheap though, they're about the same price as here.  Look around for cocktails because some bars and restaurants offer them for about 3 Euros each (about £2.10) otherwise you will find that they're about 5 Euros at full price.  Most places offer a happy hour which lasts for about 3 hours where you get 1 Euro off too.  We found that the food is cheaper than the drink!

we loved sidari ,cant wait to go back, lovely people,lovelyplace. must go to 3 little pigs,also mythos anyone who is going there soon.you wont be dissapointed.watch out for costos ,the oldest beach dog in sidari,gentle giant

Sidari was AMAZING!

We stayed at the Eleni Apartments and they are the best, about 10 mins out of the town which was great, no loud music etc, but a nice walk home etc. the pool is great for laying around and getting a tan.
Their bar is great in the evening showing movies and doing quizes etc.
Thomson were a rip off on days out when u can get them locally allot cheaper.!

We made so many good friends that we still keep in contact with back in the uk!.

Thomson have set up the holiday so well but when u get there oh my god its amazing, sidaris restaurants/clubs are brill,. plus is loadsa british musicin the clubs.

Stay at Eleni and no where closer to the center, if you stay there u will not regret it, We swear!

Hiya we went to Sidari on 7th July for 2 weeks, it was our 1st time to Corfu. We stayed in the Louisa appartments near the Canal d'amour. The appartments were pretty basic but we made the best of them. We were very happy with Sidari and had the best holiday ever.

Thoroughly agree with Sylvia, if you don't like what you see when you get there or are unhappy then report it to your Rep, if you don't then there's nothing you can do when you get back to the UK as all incidents reported to your Rep get sent back to the UK for recording purposes.  Sidari is the best place to be i've stayed there 2 years running (Garnavos Apartments last year and Legends Apartments this summer, Legends was superior with microwave, fridge/freezer, tv and well decorated).  I had the time of my life in this Resort. If you disagree  please let me know, you can email me laura@needham1979.freeserve.co.uk. Laura xx

Sidari can be anything you want it to be it depends on where you choose to spend your days and evenings etc. Most apartments do tend to be basic but very clean. If Jimmys was unhygenic then take it up with your travel agent. Next holiday you book go to the north pole because Sidari does not want people to return with your attitude.

Just got back from sidari, where we had 2 brilliant weeks, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Stayed at Spiros apartments where the staff will do anything and eveything to ensure you have a great holiday, allowing you to just kick back and relax. Thanks to George, Lea and the rest of the staff. 

Definitely agree with Rach, Kelly & Collette.  When did you girls leave!!??  I left on 15th July , cried my bloody eyes out on way home really missing the place.. especially my two barmen George and Sam at Bolero's.

FANTASTIC HOLIDAY - CHECK OUT THE PALAZZO BAR SIDARI - GREAT ENTERTAINMENT FROM THE DJ RYAN

went to sidari 2005 stayed at sellas hotel clean comfortable friendly and helpfull staff,cant wait to go back 2006

We are 3 20 yr old Uni girls, just come back from Sidari a couple of weeks ago. Stayed at Palmar Apartments booked via Thomas Cook and to be honest I cannot believe the 3 star rating..it was def. a 4 in our eyes. Booked 4 days before travelling and weren't expecting much, in the end we didn't want to leave. Palmar Apts is just on the outskirts of Sidari, but don't let that put you off as a ten minute walk takes you to the beautiful canal d'amour beach, which is an alcove and you can swim underneath rocks and swim out to odd ones in the sea. We didn't go to Sidari beach as our end isn't that nice due to a stinky river, but the canal d'amour is awesome and much more fun. Palmar is run by Spiros and Costas and their family and this makes the atmosphere really welcoming.. especially as there is only 18 SC apartments and a fairly large pool so everyone gets to know each other. Possibly the only place not to do karaoke and this adds a touch of sophistication...something we weren't expecting on a budget! Had a BBQ one night with greek dancing and a greek meal..cost us a tenner (which severly outraged us as it was 5 million times better than the Thomas Cook greek night we had been on a couple of nights before that had cost us 40 euros..rip off... and the food was rice and chips..) Considering our age, we only went out one night in Sidari and it was OK, but a bit quiet, may be due to the fact we went at the beginning of the season. There are clubs but we didnt find them and went back to the hotel instead which was more entertaining and less 'chavvy.' A couple of ladies in out hotel said the nightlife is good, not as busy as Kavos thank god but still rather good for young people. We did the walk to sunset beach which is a MUST!! Awesome view and ate a meal watching the sunset...thomas book rep said it takes an hour to walk but it took us 35 mins...just remembr to take mozzy spray and water..a taxi back was 8 euros and the restaurant rings one for you. All in all an awesome hotel and pool, awesome little beachs, the people were really friendly and we felt really safe. Make sure you go to the 3 Little pigs as they do really good food and greek dancing...dont be put off by the fact you aren;t on the sidari strip because its a bit chavvy and louder..though if you like that kinda thing it only takes 15 mins to walk there. All amenities were very close and well priced and therefore its suitable for couples, families (just watch the weather as it does get really hot) and young people who have just grown up from the Magaluf phase of their lives!!

Just got back (Sat 15th July) Sidari well what can I say having been there two years running!! Best beaches by far beating Roda and Acharavi best nightlife especially Caesars (had a foam party on Thursday night) and Falcon Bar really hot staff.  Bolero Bar the best bar by far.  Looking forward going back hopefully next year x

Me and my partner have just had a week in Sidari. Its my third time but her first. got back on the 14 July.  It was pretty much unchanged in the years since Ive been before.  It is still a grest place to go!  The accomadation is nothing special.  The town is brillant with all the excellant bars and good beaches.

Sidari is great!! We arrived back on the 10TH of july and we 2 are goin 2 book 2 go back at the end of August!! the nightlife is really good - and everything is really cheap out there!! Not to mention the HOT PR guys!!!

I arrived back from Sidari last Friday and my friend and I are off to the travel agents on sat to book up for the end of august!  We loved it, we didn't venture out to the beach as we'd heard some dodgy reviews however I think we'll give it a go next time. We were quite happy to lounge around the pool all day preparing for our night out on the town. The nightlife was great, I would recommend BED bar and Ceasers. All the bars we went to were fab and look out for the PRs as they always manage to get you some free drinks!

The apartments we stayed in were about a 15 minute walk into town which meant that when we went to bed we could actually go to bed without having to worry about any noise from the bars. If you've not already booked up, we stayed in the Spiros apartments - book through thomson. All staff were friendly, the apartments were spotless and we had maid service daily.

The food was ok once you know where to go, as well as being a club, BED bar also has a restaurant - quite cheap and you get really big portions. I would also recommend the mexicans - although we did have to wait a while for our order!

Anyone who's going to sidari in the near future - have a great time, i might see you there!

got back from sidari yesterday and absolutly loved it!! we stayed at the ektor aparts about 10 mins walk out of town which is good. the main street is full of bars and clubs. perfect from those who want to go clubbing. not really much available for families. the main beach is ok. but if you walk further round and behind the canal d'amour you will find nicer beaches. food is quite cheap and large portions. recomend this holiday to young people 18-35. and definetly go to ceasers at around 3 in the morning as it is brilliant.

ignor all the bad comments man. sidari in one wordf is amazing. The greeks r so friendly, entertaining and want u to have a good time, you know brefore u go about the crap drainage that aint their fault i have been goin for years and that for me shows how good it is cuz id never go back to the same place twice io love this place and so do many others i never had a problem with the smell to b fair was too busy havin a mint time to. any one wannas keep in touch its lil natzzzzzz!!! weyhey!!!! xxnuttynatzxx16@aol.com thats also msn addy

so ne one thta was ther wen i was giv a email  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from Sidari, really enjoyed our stay.  There is something for everyone but not necessarily the best place to go if you are looking for a bit more traditional Greek.  Main beach left a lot to be desired, it did smell quite sewagey, wasn't that clean and there was a lot of seaweed everywhere.  But if you would be happy on the average beach in England, then you would be okay on Sidari beach - just don't expect anything special.

we have been to corfu [sidari ] a few times it was excellent ,we stayed in stamatis the first time and then in the lia , my husband and his friend went last year and stayed in dinos which had the added advantage of air conditioning ;the best tour operator was manos and the reps live at sidari so thats an advantage.,and also manos beig a greek company they can answer all your questions ,you should hire a speed boat out for the day inexspensive and excellent fun . the coves are the best ,try to stay canal d mour end

I would recommend Sidari to everyone. Absolutely fab! The people were very friendly and made you very welcome. Best english breakfast and sunday lunch at Fagins(next to the three little pigs) best pint of beer and welcome at sea monkeys on the beach, run by an english couple andy and fiona

i am just back from sidari , and i found it was great . Everyone is so friendly there and there is something for everyone , there are great watersports down at the beach and quad bikes to hire for only 25 euros for the whole day. I found the best pubs there were "one for the road" if you are looking for a place out the way but still on the main street , also "shakers" and "bed" where really good (you need to try the cocktails in bed they are amazing)."ceasers" is also a great nightclub but not till after 1am there are to many kids in there b4 1am,so i'd say stick to the pubs then when they are closing ead to cesars. i went at the end of may but i plan on going back in july it was that brillaint and the peak season hasnt even kicked off yet. i stayed in sunny corfu apartments and they were brilliant thanks to all the friend staff (spiros , always up to no good lol ). and to the person that mention about the pardise hotel , i have herd its a nice place to go and it is really near the main street. well anyone goign there i hope you all have a nice holiday .

Hey everyone, just been to sidari for 2 weeks, and it was AMAZING! stayed at the stema hotel apartments. were very clean and modern, and had a lovely big pool and great lil bar. Im 21 so i found the best pubs were Shakers, Calypso, IQ and Bolero. The club Caesers is brill, only gets a lil packed on a saturday night with locals. stays open till 6am! There are sooo many places to eat, we could get a 3 course meal for about £8! restaurants are sooo cheap but the food is excellent! The beaches are nice, and there are loads of watersports to do. Its a great place for families and couples as well as the singles!

We have just got back from two wonderful weeks in the Zafiris apartments in Sidari and I would recommend the place to anyone. we have stayed there twice now and was greeted this time with hugs and kisses when we arrived they made us feel very welcomed  and they have baths in their apartments too,lol

Hi

I thoroughly agree with everything Sue Schofield has said, Sidari is a place second to none! Whether you're after a relaxing holiday or somewhere with a bit of a buzz.  Bolero Bar is a must, they have pole dancing (after a certain time), extremely pleasant resident DJ, excellent value for money food, Elvis impersonator, karaoke and even a hypnotist .  I'm off to Sidari again this year 30 Jun to 15th July, staying at Legends Apartments.

We have been to Sidari for the last 3 years in October and are returning again in oct this year. We feel the beach is safe althought not mega clean. It is a peaceful holiday for us, but can also enjoy the local greek nights in the three brothers hotel which is excellent and also enjoy the three pigs entertainment and food. This holiday for us is so versatile and would reccommend it. ( We are both in late 40s, 50s and have a 5 year old, we are all catered for). Enjoy

sidari is excellent, so are the eleni apartments!

Hey!! me and my best mate went to Sidari last yr in July for 2 weeks and it was brilliant, we were only 16 at the time and it was soooooooooo gud we r going bk this yr hopefully, to all our new mates we made, espically Leo from Calypso bar!!! its going to be another briliant week, i would recommend this resort to anybody who is up for a laugh all nite, and loves partying!! The nightlife doesnt stop!!

cya all there!!!

Liz from Cheshire! xx

heya everyone,

just 1 more thing am i going to proper roast in mid august with the heat. hehe

I have just booked to go to sidari in June staying at Christakis apartments can anyone give me some info on these apartments also sidari as a bit worried about it being too lively we are both in our 50s but like a good time but not into clubbing(leave that to our son)

To Andrea Hay

You have made a great choice by going to the tondoris apartments, this will be our 4^th year staying at the tondoris, & we will be there the same time as you. Our sons aged 15 & 12 always find plenty to do. The resort is for all ages, the canal d’amore  area where the apartments are is quiet with some nice taverna’s  & bars, moving on into sidari it gets a bit more lively, so you have the best of both worlds.

We are going to Sidari in Aug 06, party includes our 2 sons aged 16 & 11 and I am concerned that there will not be enough for them to do.Also concerned that it it not really a family resort. Staying @ Tondoris Appartments. Can anyone provide feedback as this is our first visit to Corfu.

Thank-you Alison Limb for your welcome comments regards to Hotel Alkion and Sidari in general. the only problem I have now is waiting to go in Aug.

Don't worry  Sudari is an all round resort it suits all ages

Alison

Hey every1.... me and 4 mates are goin 2 sidari in july. we are all male, free and single. (losers) Could anybody who has been 2 sidari PLEASE get in touch and let us know WHERE 2 GO and WHERE NOT 2 GO. my email address is hawkboy23uk@yahoo.com

Im deciding whether or not to join my friends on a holiday to sidari in corfu in july but worried there is going to be no nightlife as we are all 18, can anyone tell what the clubs/pubs are like there?

We are going to Sidari in August ..... what are the best eating places to hit - no specific type of food prefered. :-)

Pedalos...are pretty safe if your carefull on them, coz they are peddle powered they only go as fast as you can peddle. Water wise its pretty shallow most of the way out, so again if your carefull then you shouldn't encounter any trouble.

Can someone let me know if they have ever experienced the pedlos on Sidari beach.  I've had my eye on trying one at other resorts but have always had second thoughts nearer the time.  Basically, are they safe and are they fast? If they are fast I'm sure I won't be trying them!

as other post i have been going to Sidari for 5 years and I have never felt unsafe there the people are so friendly and cant do enough for you
