Roda is a sun-drenched beach town set on an arc of golden sand. The resort springs to life in the summer, when holidaymakers flock to bask on the beach, swim in the Ionian Sea and enjoy the sunset happy hours. Palm trees, cobbled streets and colourful houses add to the holiday atmosphere.
The main beach will impress you with its soft sand and calm, shallow water. Roll out your towel on the sand or splurge on a sun lounger and umbrella. For a change of scene, spend the day in nearby resorts like Kassiopi and Sidari.
The resort has a relaxed and unhurried vibe, with lively bars and lowkey nightlife. Beachside tavernas dot the sand and serve colourful Greek salads, grilled seabass and fried calamari. Cool down with an “ouzito” Greek mojito made with mint, lime juice and strawberries.
The side streets are lined with shops selling sandals, swimsuits and beach toys. There’s plenty to keep you entertained after dark, including karaoke and live music.
Getting there
Roda is on the Greek island of Corfu, a one-hour drive from Corfu Town and Corfu International Airport. The resort is compact and easy to get around on foot. Local buses connect Roda with nearby towns, villages and resorts.
