Canal D Amour, Sandy beach with limestone formations in Sidari, Greece
Canal d'Amour is a beach cove in Sidari featuring sandy areas and natural limestone cliffs that form tunnels and small inlets. The water is shallow and clear for swimming, with the rock formations creating distinct pockets and passages to explore.
The rock formations developed over thousands of years through the erosion of soft limestone by waves and wind. This gradual process sculpted the tunnels and coves visible today.
Couples who swim through the narrow water passage are said to follow a local tradition believed to strengthen relationships. This belief shapes how visitors experience and use the space today.
The water is typically calm and shallow, good for swimming, but the small cove can get crowded during peak summer season. Visiting early in the morning or outside holiday periods helps ensure a more relaxed experience.
The limestone rocks contain natural clay deposits that visitors can use directly from the stone walls. This mineral-rich clay treatment is an unexpected benefit that many visitors overlook.
