7SIDARI, CORFU

A completely different swimming experience (but equally popular) is the Canal D’Amour in the resort of Sidari on Corfu, where turquoise waters have carved out channels and strange rock formations where the sandstone meets the sea.

Legend has it that couples who swim through the channel will marry soon – hence the name Canal D’Amour (which means ‘Channel of Love’).
