About Canal Damour

The Canal d’Amour is 32km from Corfu town, close to the village of the Sidari on the North West coast of the island.

Nature, by way of the sea and wind, created the Canal d’Amour. The sandstone has been eroded by the elements and the grooves that scarred the rock face formed the channel.

There are legends attached to these stunning rock formations, the most famous being that if a couple swim together in the Canal they will stay together forever and if the Canal is in shade whoever swims in the water will always be lucky in love.

The water here is shimmering shades of blue that contrast with the yellow hues of the rock. As well as the canal there are some interesting caves and secluded coves along this stretch of coast
