Canal d'Amour
Κανάλι του Έρωτα
A sandstone sea-carved channel at Sidari on the north coast; legend says couples who swim through it together will stay together forever, and its rock walls are layered like a millefeuille cake.
The soft sandstone along the Sidari coast has been eroded by waves into narrow channels and small coves, the most famous being Canal d'Amour. You can watch from the clifftop path, or enter the water from a small sandy bay and swim through the channel. Some people also jump from the rocks, but mind the depth and safety. The surrounding area is a commercial resort and gets busy in the afternoon. It is about 38 km from the Old Town and served by intercity buses.
