Roda’s Blue Flag awarded beach stretches for several kilometres along the fragrant, tree-lined coast. The spotless golden sand is dotted with sun loungers and brightly-coloured umbrellas for sunbathing in comfort. The shore is shallow and very clear, with a sandy bottom that is ideal for swimming and safe for kids to paddle in. There are plenty of beach cafes and bars just behind the beach for when you need to refuel during the day. If you’re up for a change of pace, there are some fantastic water sports activities in Roda. Try water skiing or paragliding, or plan a diving excursion to explore the beautifully clear waters.
Situated in one of Corfu’s prettiest spots, Roda’s golden coast is backed by a hilly region thick with fragrant olive groves. A favourite place to explore, you can navigate the hills on foot, by bike or take a two-hour pony trek through the lush countryside to admire the spectacular views. After a day of activity, the best place to go in Roda is the pedestrianised area behind the beach, which develops a buzz in the evening with its mix of pubs, restaurants and tavernas. There is usually a Greek night on for anyone interested in trying the local fare, as well as live music, karaoke and popular beachfront grills.
Roda is a wonderful place to sail, with excursions that will whisk you off to Corfu Town, through the beautiful Canal d’Amour or simply let you soak up the sun on the deck. Favourite trips will drop anchor and debark for a barbeque on the beach. If you’re on holiday with kids, a favourite family attraction in Roda is the superb Aqualand water park. Less than an hour’s drive away, the park is one of the best in Corfu with dozens of water slides, swimming pools and a lazy river. The park has several bars and restaurants where you can grab a drink, ice cream or pizza.
