HOLIDAY REVIEWS ABOUT KAROUSADES

E_Barnsley travelled to Karousades in 10/2008.
The beach isn't the cleanest but isn't filthy, this is mainly due to tourists dropping litter although there are plenty of bins provided. There are water sports available but we were never hassled by the people doing these.
The sea is fairly shallow for quite a way out and can be cold the deeper you get. The smally jetty has a few boats moored and is abundent with sea life. You will see quite a few people fishing from here and there is quite a few crabs, shrimps etc to see as well. The main strip through Sidari town centre is lined with shops and restaurants, we would recommend Memories restaurant for evening meals who have regular fire dancing/plate smashing nights and the food and service was excellent every time we ate here, Sea Breeze was also good and well priced. B.E.D. bar is good for breakfasts and lunches. There are some touts in the evenings which is tobe expected but they were never rude. We would visi Sidari again but maybe somewhere in the Canal D'Amour area .
