Canal d’Amour
Tucked into the cliffs of Sidari in northern Corfu, the Canal d’Amour is one of the island’s most enchanting natural wonders. Shaped by wind and waves over millennia, the sandstone formations form narrow sea passages and little coves ideal for swimming. Legend says that couples who swim through the narrowest part of the canal will get married soon—hence the name “Canal of Love.” The warm, shallow waters make it great for snorkeling and exploring underwater rock caves. The landscape is truly photogenic, with golden cliffs meeting turquoise water. It’s especially magical at sunset when the sky glows pink over the sea. There are nearby beaches, tavernas, and shops that make this a perfect day trip. Local guides can combine this stop with visits to Peroulades or Loggas Beach for a full northern Corfu experience.

Mount Pantokrator
Rising 906 meters above sea level, Mount Pantokrator is Corfu’s highest peak and a peaceful escape from the busy coastline. At the summit, you’ll find the historic Pantokrator Monastery, a whitewashed structure originally built in the 14th century. From the top, the views are jaw-dropping: you can see the entire island and, on clear days, the distant mountains of Albania and even parts of Italy. The route to the summit winds through sleepy villages like Old Perithia—one of Corfu’s oldest and most charming mountain settlements. It’s a popular spot for hiking, mountain biking, or scenic drives. Local guides often stop in these villages to sample traditional Corfiot cuisine at family-run tavernas. The peace and beauty here offer a totally different side of Corfu. It’s the perfect blend of nature, tradition, and panoramic adventure. Book now with Corfu Trips
