Peroulades Village has many small paths that twist and turn amongst the old cottages. Many date back hundreds of years. Over the last few years some have received a lot of attention but there is still a lot to be done. Many are in great need of complete renovation.
Dotted around the countryside on the outskirts of the village small plots of land are still used by families to grow there tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, etc. There are goats everywhere you go calmly feeding or waiting to be milked. Chickens are kept in little back gardens for eggs and of course a good stew now and then.

The Canal De Amour is about 500 m North of Sidari. The natural sea and wind worn cliffs have eroded into weird almost alien shapes.The name Canal De Amour comes from the belief that swimming through a natural archway that has now vanished brought eternal love. The area above the cliffs has many tavernas where you can eat anything from a light bar meal to many Greek specialities.
There are many little inlets for a quiet stroll in the evening or walk along the cliff tops and enjoy the view.

Longas Beach more commonly know as Sunset Beach has always been the highlight to any trip to Corfu. Peroulades is about 3Km from Sidari and 2Km from the Canal - De - Amour area. The view of the sunset over the islands is always very beautiful but when the cloud conditions are right it is out of this world.
The beach can be reached by a steep path and the view along the cliffs is worth seeing. Once you have climbed back to the top you will be glad of the taverna that is there to have a drink. One of the finest on the island.

Cape Drastis has not been touched by tourism. It is not easy to get to unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle or sturdy motorbike. It is about 2 Km past Peroulades along a very primative dirt track. It can be walked in about 45 minutes from Peroulades. After a long climb uphill and then down to the tiny cove you will see where many a smugglers boat has landed over the years. An idea of the distance can be gained by looking at this photograph that shows Cape Drastis on the left and Peroulades on the right. Longas Beach is in the valley behind the first hill on the left.

Sidari is the place for night life if you want a disco or nightclub. Almost every other building is either a bar, club, restaurant or taverna. Many of the tavernas reach down to the sea shore.
There is go karting, boat trips, the water slide, horse riding, parasailing and many other attractions to keep a holiday packed with entertainment.
Sidari has two large supermarkets which are very good value and the only two petrol stations for miles around. Sidari is young and full of life most of the 24 hours.
