Canal d'Amour, Natural sandstone formation in Sidari, Corfu, Greece.
The Channel of Love is a natural sandstone formation in Sidari featuring narrow water passages and small rocky coves shaped by wave action over time. The turquoise Mediterranean waters fill the channels and create a scenic coastal landscape with varied rock formations.
Human settlements in this coastal area date back to the Bronze Age, with evidence of occupation from the sixth millennium before the common era. The sandstone cliffs themselves have been shaped over millennia through natural erosion processes.
Local tradition holds that couples swimming together through the narrow passage will keep their bond strong for years to come. You can still see how this belief influences how visitors experience and behave at this location.
This area is relatively easy to reach and many visitors combine beach time with exploration of the rock formations. Wear shoes with good grip since the rocks can be slippery and the paths between the coves are uneven.
The sandstone cliffs are constantly changing as water and wind continuously carve new patterns into the surface. This ongoing erosion process means the rock formations today look different from just a few years ago.
