Discover Corfu’s northern coast on a full-day bus trip that combines Barbati’s clear waters, Kassiopi’s living history, and the dramatic sandstone channel of the Canal d’Amour. Expect swims, short walks on uneven rock and views of Mount Pantokrator.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the bus onto a band of sun-baked sandstone where the sea has been chiseling a narrow channel for millennia — the Canal d'Amour. Wind and waves push and pry at the rocks; the channel dares you to follow the turquoise water through its tight throat and into open bay.
