Ostria

Highlights to Get You Started:

1. Tranquil, Tucked-Away Hideaway: A peaceful haven surrounded by lush green valleys – just what the holiday doctor ordered! Here, it’s all about unwinding in style (with a pool nearby, of course).

2. Family-Friendly Paradise: Big on space, big on fun. Spacious apartments, a mega pool, and a playground for the kiddos to run riot – because it’s your turn for some relaxation.

3. Location Goals: Minutes from Sidari’s bustling centre and beaches, giving you the best of both worlds—peace and quiet when you need it, and plenty of action when you’re up for some fun.

Location: Because You’ll Want to Know How Far You Are from the Action

• Nearest Town: Sidari’s lively centre is just 1 km away – close enough to walk, far enough for some peace. You’ll find bars, shops, and all sorts of excitement. Head down for a night of Greek dancing, or just grab a delicious meal.

• Nearest Beach: A leisurely 1 km from Sidari Beach—grab a towel, chuck on some sun cream, and you’re all set. Not only will you have sand at your feet, but loads of fun watersports and sunbeds are waiting for you.

• Nearest Airport: Corfu International Airport (CFU) is around 40 km away. Not so close that you’ll hear the planes, but not far enough to make it a trek. Perfect for getting that holiday started ASAP.

Rooms: Where You’ll Rest, Recharge, and Chill Out

The rooms at Ostria are all about comfort with a splash of style—think airy spaces with a down-to-earth Greek vibe. All rooms come with air-con, a flat-screen TV (for that late-night movie binge), anatomic mattresses (your back will thank you), and your own private balcony or porch for sunset views or morning coffees. Here’s what’s on offer:

• Studios: The perfect spot for up to 3 people, with a handy kitchenette, dining area, and a large fridge. Why a large fridge, you ask? To keep all that Fanta Lemon and holiday snacks cool, of course! Ideal for couples or small groups who like to cook (or store the essentials).

• Apartments: A step up for families or groups (up to 4 guests), these apartments come with a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, large fridge, and—wait for it—double-glazed windows with mosquito nets (the real VIPs of holiday amenities). Also, they have spacious closets for all those holiday outfits you probably overpacked.

• Balcony Bliss: Each room gives you access to a private porch or balcony with garden views, so you can sip your morning coffee or wine without even leaving your room. Best part? You don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to reserve this spot!

Food & Drink: No Restaurant, No Problem

Okay, so there’s no on-site restaurant. But Ostria’s got a fab poolside snack bar that serves up Greek bites and tasty cocktails—plenty to keep you going between beach and pool dips.

• Poolside Snack Bar: Perfect for a midday gyro, some fresh salads, or an afternoon cocktail (or two). The vibe’s relaxed, and the snacks are top-tier—trust us, you’ll be back for seconds.

• Local Tavernas Galore: Step outside, and you’ll find yourself a short walk from Sidari’s best tavernas, where you can tuck into everything from souvlaki to stifado. Heads up—taverna portions are no joke, so bring an appetite.

• Local Markets for Self-Caterers: If you’re feeling chef-y, hit the local markets to stock up on fresh produce, olives, and maybe a cheeky bottle of local wine. You’ve got the kitchen, so why not?

Pro Tip: For an authentic taste of Corfu, try the pastitsada (a hearty beef stew) at one of the nearby local joints—it’s a local favourite and pure comfort food.

Sports & Entertainment: For the Laid-Back and the Adventure Seekers Alike

Ostria Apartments knows how to do entertainment without overwhelming you. A bit of chill by the pool? Sorted. Ready for a bit more action? It’s just a short stroll away. Here’s what’s on the menu:

• Swimming Pool: This isn’t just any pool—it’s one of the biggest in Sidari. With ample sunbeds and a separate kiddie pool, it’s the perfect spot for splashing around or catching some rays.

• Playground Paradise for the Kids: The kiddos are covered with a playground area designed to keep them busy (and happy). Whether it’s making new friends or trying every swing and slide, they’ll be all smiles.

• BBQ Facilities: Ask at reception, and they’ll hook you up with everything you need for a poolside BBQ. There’s something about grilling up a storm in the open air that makes it taste that much better.

• Water Sports Nearby: You’re just a hop, skip, and a flip-flop from Sidari Beach’s watersports centre. Try a bit of jet skiing, parasailing, or a banana boat ride if you’re feeling brave.

Insider Tip: Late afternoon tends to be quieter at the pool and the beach—a golden time for a bit of uninterrupted swim time.

Local Area Activities: What to Do Beyond Ostria’s Gates

You’ll want to explore the best of Sidari while you’re here, and Ostria puts you in the ideal spot for it. Here are some local gems:

• Canal d'Amour: A must-visit. Known for its stunning rock formations and a little legend: couples who swim together here will stay together forever. So, get that Insta shot or take a dip with your better half!

• Boat Trips Galore: Sidari’s got loads of boat trips leaving daily. Pop over to nearby islands, explore secluded coves, or just enjoy a scenic cruise with a splash of Greek sunshine.

• Corfu Town (40 km Away): Fancy a day trip? Corfu Town is brimming with charm, cobbled streets, and historic sites. It’s about an hour’s drive, so perfect for a day of shopping, exploring, and plenty of “ooh” and “ahh” moments.

• Local Festivals: Sidari loves a good party, and if you’re here in the summer, you might just catch a local “panigyri” (village festival). Live music, traditional dancing, and heaps of delicious food—you’ll be eating, dancing, and celebrating the Greek way.

• Hiking Trails: If you fancy a bit of adventure, there are some lovely hiking trails nearby that will take you through olive groves, past local farms, and up to some breathtaking viewpoints.

Pro Tip: Grab a gelato from one of the local ice cream shops before heading back to Ostria. It’s the perfect cool-down after a day of exploring.
