Formerly a small fishing village, Roda retains some old buildings and narrow streets in the centre but is now rather overwhelmed by newer tourist developments. The seafront section of the resort stretches for ¾ ml along the coast, tapering to a point inland at the crossroads where the roads from Sidari, Acharavi and Corfu Town meet.

The village lies almost entirely on the coast side of the main road, a distinct advantage over neighbouring Acharavi, although Roda's beach is inferior. Mosquitoes can be a problem.

Boasting a long stretch of sandy and shingle beach with safe shallow waters and a host of water sports. Roda is superb for beach lovers and families a like. Roda is an established resort that contains a variety of bars & tavernas providing a lively atmosphere in the height of the season. About a 1 hour drive from the airport by car or taxi.

An area for families and couples of most ages. Teenagers are catered for, but there are livelier resorts elsewhere on the island. The resort attracts a lot of repeat business from both British and German guests.

Lots of basic to middlemarket hotels and apartments, mainly small and family owned; 1 big quality complex at the N end of the village.

A cheap, reliable bus service operates 4 times a day to Corfu Town in high season.

Locality:

Roda is situated on the N coast. 2 mls W of the neighbouring resort of Acharavi, 27 mls NW of Corfu Town and the airport. It is located on the W end of a huge bay, on gently sloping ground rising to steep mountains.
