One of the best swimming spot is the beach of Apotripiti in Melitsa, the Canal d amour, as well the Sunset beach (Logas beach) in the village of Peroulades.

Other Sidari beaches are found near the harbour to the east and the famous coves of the Canal D'Amour to the west. These beaches are of unrivalled beauty! There are rock formations of a particularly striking nature which form a huge number of tiny coves and narrow channels.

One of them, of distinctive beauty is called: ‘’Channel of love’’ or Canal d' amour! An area of eroding sandstone cliffs that have formed several tiny sand and shingle coves reached by paths and even ladders.

The tradition says that anyone who manages to swim right along it will soon meet the partner of his or her dreams. This point is recommended for diving.

There are many caves under the canal. Though it is spectacular to look at, attention must be given to small children, as the rocks and cliffs pose a significant danger.
