Canal D' Amour

Utmost northwest of Corfu, in the very corner, you will find a wonderful and very special natural phenomenon named Canal d'Amour- literally Canal of Love. With a name like that, you may wonder what it is. The fact is that it is a wonderful attraction, a must to visit during your holiday on Corfu. Not only because of its amazing natural beauty, the Canal d'Amour is worthwhile visiting. There are few local legends connected to these rocks. One of them is that every couple who swim in the Canal of Love, will always stay together until the end of their days.

Unfortunately, the legend does not mention if they always stay happily together. So if there are always tiffs and wrangles and sometimes you fed up with the strife and thinking of moving on then maybe it is not such a good idea to go for a swim together in the Canal.The second version is the most unlikely: Any unmarried girl who swims in the Canal of Love thinking of the man of her dreams, will bump into him the very same holiday, so the legend tells. However, there are persistent rumours that this version was created by the young male population of this charming coastal Corfiot village, who often believe they are Casanova. Nevertheless, not everyone thinks this story is figment of one's imagination; witness the fact by seeing the masses of attractive young ladies jumping into the Canal, all with a look in their eyes varying from sultry to very happy.
Then there is another small legend that does not really matter. If the sun is not shining in the water, you can make a wish. Therefore, at night it should be very crowded there. Well, the Greeks are great storytellers. Of course, you can always make a wish, sun in the water or not. Granting wishes is not guaranteed in this legend.
