Roda is an old fishing village and a small family beach resort, it is mostly used by the British package tour operators. There is a super 'cove' type sandy beach. The original town has developed, but you will still find locals continuing their everyday life.

Child Suitability
The beach looks child friendly and is very flat. The road above the beach though is close and although it is not too busy you would need you to keep an eye on young children! The nearby rocks would keep the slightly older ones amused.
Accessibility
Down a few steps from the road. There is plenty of parking at the top, close to the beach.

Cleanliness and Urchins
No Urchins, and the beach is cleaned daily of seaweed. I was disappointed though to find cigarette ends on the beach.

Hydropolis Waterpark in Acharavi, Corfu
Acharavi has the hydro polis water park - which is a short journey away. It is also possible to visit the two islands just off Sidari - Arakosa and Mathraki.

The smart looking 'Roda Beach Resort" is to the West at the end of the beach. Sidari is beyond that. Acharavi is to the East. Both Acharavi and Sidari, would be too far to walk to. Near to the beach is the ruin of an ancient Greek temple.

From Acharavi, continue on the coastal road. Look out for the large signs:
At a large set of crossroads, turn right and you will enter Roda. The road system is a little strange - it is a triangular shaped one-way. Drive straight ahead for the beach. The old part of the village is on your right.

We are going to Roda for the sixth time in a couple of weeks, and we have always booked through Olympic. Apart from one delay on the return journey with Monarch, we have never had a problem with them (touch wood). Our tickets arrived a couple of days ago and although the flight is slightly later than the time we booked (less than an hour) other than that all seems fine. When we go to Kalami we always book independently, but always book a package to Roda. Olympic have consistently offered the best value over the last couple of years (£700 for two of us this year) and that's our main priority.

I think that there are 5 tavernas in Old Perithia now! The longer established ones are in the square at the centre of the village.

A drive that will show you some wonderful sights and old villages would be to turn right at the pump (roundabout) in the centre of Acharavi and follow the back road through the old village. At the end, turn right head up hill to Agios Martinos, right again and on through Lafki, and Petalia. You then come to a T junction, where you can turn left (up to the top of Pantocrator (very desolate scenery higher up) or turn right into Stranillas.  (If you go up to the top of the mountain you will have to come back down through Stranilas anyway, unless you have 4x4, which a whole new ballgame!)  In Stranilas, find a table under the giant elm tree - no views but very atmospheric.

NB - it is possible to get from Old Perithia to Lafki to carry on up the mountain. However, I haven't done this route for a couple of years and last time a 4x4 was essential - and I wouldn't think any work has been done on the track since.

From Stranillas head downhill (superb views over Corfu Town) to a T juction - turn left and this will eventually bring you out on the north east coast road just above Ipsos; turn right, and this will bring you back into Acharavi, via Episkepsis.

As an alternative, you could take the left turn well before Episkpsis and head for Zygos. Once here, you can carry straight on through Klimatia amd Episkopi before turning right down to Roda, or tum left and head for Sokraki, and Ano Korakiana, to the main road; turn right here and head up through Skripero and on over the mountain to Sidari etc.  Please note that the section of road between Sokraki and Ano Korakiana is very narrow and twisty with many hairpin bends - it may not be for the faint hearted.

Hi can anyone tell me if the shop across from Pirates that does the tours still do money exchange? If so what sort of rate do they offer? Always found it was better to change your cash once you got to Roda as you always seem to get a better deal than back home.
[/QUOTE]

Hello Ricky23,

Just come back from Roda and yes we got all our money from where you are saying. Usually when we have gone we have got a much better rate than we could get anywhere in the UK but this time sadly no. The rate was the same and we paid a lot more in charges.

So next time we go to Roda in September we will be buying currency in the UK with no charge. Hope it helps.

Regards,
Pegasus.

Hello,

Just got back from Roda and nothing has changed really about the village. We stayed at the Theodorus and had a great time. We stayed in a two bedroomed apartment opposite from the main complex. Everything that you could need at the Theodorus was there including iron, ironing board and washing machine. The apartments were very clean and the lady that oversaw the apartments was always asking is there anything wrong, if there was then she would fix the problem. One thing you won't be short of there is coathangers, there are loads.

The other thing we noticed on first arrival, the bathrooms had changed with all new appliances and shower etc. The shower curtains actually go to the floor now and we always had plenty of hot water. The basin had a combined tap and plug which is a lot better. The bathrooms looked very nice and well done.

We also had a microwave/grill which was absolutely brilliant for us because my husband cooks bacon and eggs every morning which is great. All the kitchen equipment you could want and if you need something else you could always ask for it.

Theo also had nightly specials where food was concerned with special offers on certain drinks. They put on music with a DJ every night or so, they had a Greek Night. Another good plus about the Theodorus is that they have free wifi. Even being across the road we could easily log in and retrieve emails etc.

We have been going to the Theodorus for years and every time we go, we have a great time. If you choose to go to Roda and go to Theo's you will be getting really good value and plenty of entertainment in the evening.

The village itself is a good place to go for anyone. Yes it is quiet but everything that you could want for a holiday is there. Safe beach for the children, football (if you cannot do without it), Greek nights, music nights, great restaurants (I would recommend the Newport with the blue and white check tablecloths on the front), bars in fact anything and everything is there.

You won't go far wrong if you pick Roda for your next holiday.

Regards,
Pegasus.

We are just back from Acharavi, had a walk into Roda and round to Theo's there have been a lot of changes over the winter months. The main thing is the slide into the pool has gone and you can no longer walk over the bridge. Our grandchildren were so gutted when we told them. Cry

Its actually on the start of the road to Kavadades, opposite Marketo. Just past Dielas.

I have been taking my UK Vodafone PAYG mobile to Corfu since 2006. It's only used for text messaging. I turn it on outside Kapodistrias airport it gives me 3 options for service providers Vodafone GR, Cosmote or Wind. I simply select the first one. We stay in Roda & travel around Corfu, & the signal strength is always good.

I must put in a good word for St George South. Laid back nightlife, good tavernas and bars as lively or quiet as you want it. Look out for Tzevenos for simple, self catering or bed and breakfast accommodation and a lovely pool with snack bar. Also the Village Grill for simple Greek food with Mad Mikes nearby if you want a lively, friendly bar that also serves breakfasts to die(t) for! Beautiful sandy beach and one of the most friendly resorts on Corfu I have ever been to. San Stefanos NW is great as well, as is Roda and Kassiopi.

I don't think you will be disappointed wherever you stay in Corfu...I've not had a bad holiday experience there in 26 years!

Thanks for the advice about the Matoula apartments.  I was looking at Aghios Gordios at one point but my partner has been and Ive also been to different parts of Corfu before so we were looking for somewhere neither of us has been before.  We have been looking at San Stefanos, Acharavi and maybe even Roda.  We also were considering the other side as in Messonghi/Moraitika.  We've got a few good ideas now, am looking forward to planning it all now!!Smile

Been taking my daughter to Acharavi since she was 6 months old. This year we are also taking her sister who will only be 5 months old.
It has all the facilities you need including children's doctor, supermarkets, tavernas, bars, shops, beach and is in the middle of Roda and Kassiopi if you fancy a change.
Wherever you go, have a great time.

Hi,
For any of you who have visited Roda and sampled the delights of the menu, especially the fish and chips at Maggies, you will be delighted to know that her husband Des Nouvel has written a book about their life in Corfu.
It is called The Lotus Eaters and is available as an e book from Amazon at the bargain price of £3.63. Smile

Sounds like Acharavi would suit you. You can walk up to Roda, then taxi to Sidari (last year cost us 15euros) if you fancy a more livelier night. Good luck with your choice.

Roda sounds like it could be perfect for you. A quiet stroll down the beach road from Acharavi. Plenty of choices, prices kept down. Flat, sandy, great views and a wide choice of self catering apartments. If you don't want to go independent most of the tour companies still go to Roda. We use Olympic. Visit www.rodaonline.org for lists of independent apartments. Hope this helps. Bev

Now that Sconto has closed for good, I thought a quick rundown of what is available might help folk plan their stay.
Dimitra, up and running with a few more UK must haves than last year.
Tavros (The Coop) Much the same.
Salvanos. (On the opposite corner to where Sconto was) Much the same also.
The new Cash and Carry. That got your attention. Located opposite The Lemon Garden, a large selection of frozen goods, many in large catering packs, but still worth a look. Many of the local bars are using them for quickness.
We drive out to Roda for our fruit and veg, its just that bit better quality we find.
Bob.

Thank you kindly young lady. Very nice to hear from you and I hope you can come to say hello  at our apartments and have a drink with us, 25th May-8th June. We wont get to the Orchard this year as we have 3 Grandchildren with us. Turn off the Roda to Sidari road down a little steep hill and turn left at the Meri apartments and we are at the end on the right Elini Apartments, Helen, Stathis, Tina and Maria.

Yes unfortunately that is the case, I wish I could go as I used to in the seventies with Mike Alexakis and his brother Nico from the Dolphin bar they used to moore their boat at Roda beach Hotel (now Mitses).
The boat is and has been for many a year now on blocks and barrels near the taxi rank as they at the time could not afford a new engine for it . (more's a pity)
I had many a trip way out towards Albania with them bringing in Sword fish and basking shark and pulling the nets with motor pulley and all the line with sword fish and the shark in by hand.
In them days we had to duck down every time an Albanian patrol boat came near.
The photo of myself (on the left) a friend and my son is my avatar and the shark is one we brought in to Roda beach to an army of amazed onlookers, it was enormous and a thrill to catch.
I don't know how to post the picture but I think it is in the gallery somewhere.
 
Can't wait now only 7 weeks to go.

You've missed out Binelieka on the beach at Acharavi, the last tavern on the way to Roda, for something completely different. (Not too sure of my spelling)
Check out their music night, you never know, you might have the misfortune to see me dance.

It would be a boring world if we all agreed - but in Roda I would always go to Roda Park ahead of Newport (not just for the food but for the ambience) and I can also highly recommend Roxannes on seafront - its excellent.

Hi GJJW
We have been going to Roda every year since 1978 and have found some very nice places to eat some with spectacular views.
 
These are a few
 
Golden Sands along the beach from Roda village to Mitses hotel.
Sunrise it's up the hill right hand side on the way to Sidari, the view is to die for.
Taverna "To Steki" in Doukades
 
Enjoy your hols we fly out on the 5th July can't wait

We don't stay in Roda but visit for a walk round every year. Must say it always looks the same to me although last year there were a few spots at the end of the village when you walk through, that must have been bars or tavernas which have been lest unused.There is always hope that new businesses will start up and fill the spaces. Basically I think you will see it still as the same as it was. Smile

Well back to Roda this year, we havent been since 2010. This will be our 5th time, after all the places we have been to Roda/Corfu is the only place we feel at home, no place quite like it anywhere.
I just hope its not changed to much?

Hi GJJW,

Bye heck you don't intend on doing much do you? We have just come back from Singapore and Australia for five weeks and my list wasn't as long as yours and I research! I always find that it is best not to be in a regime where it has to be done, you can always come back and do it again next time you are there. I went to Sydney four times before I did the Bridge Climb, so it just goes to show, you always have an excuse to go back!

I would however, recommend the New Port in Roda and not the Roda Park. We have eaten in both places many times but found that the New Port has the edge.

Regards,
Pegasus.

Hi Ricky23, as Tfg has said go to the rodaonline website. There is a lot of exciting new ventures opening this year and quite a lot of much needed refurbishment along the beachfront. I can't wait to get there and try the new tavernas, the beauty shop and just wander around to see the changes.     Bev

Big smileGood evening to all!
Travelling to the Kamari apartments in 7 days time. We have hired a car. Could anyone explain as we arrive into Acharavi where would they be situated? Is it off main road? Is it signposted? We have been to Roda before but I dont think Acharavi. Any input please would be brilliant. Thankyou.

Are you on facebook? There are several outlets in Corfu that have named clothes. Impressions in Ipsos, the kilo shop in Roda to name just a few.

Prices seem about the same as last year as far as we can tell.
Dimitra Market seems to be carrying a wider selection of foreign items than we remember,
Skondros and Maestro have their boards out on the main road so assume they are open.
We went to Binilikia the other night, they are now open every day. (The last taverna on the beachfront going towards Roda)

Hi Violet Chicken. Roda is small, flat, sandy beach with little fishing boats tied up. Lots of tavernas catering for all tastes, from genuine Greek to English roasts on Sunday. There is the centre of Roda called the triangle where most of the businesses are but if you go futher afield there is still plenty to choose from. The walk to Acharavi along the beach road is flat with tavernas pretty much the whole way. Roda caters for all ages. This will be our 8th year and we love Roda. Bev

Alpha taxis and Roda taxis both have good reputations and prices but Corfu Airport Transfers on the following link also have a good reputaion and they say they will beat any other price offered. Last time I looked it was £80 for 4 adults (return) when we go in July. I will be booking when we get our tickets.

http://www.corfuairporttransfer.com/

I don't think there is more than a pound or two between any of the three companies though.

We will be doing the same 1 week later. 1 night in Germany, 1 night in Mestre then ferry from Igy. Late into Acharavi, straight out for a beer in Adonis and a pitta gyros take away, if they are open?
Unload next day stuff for apartment, shop for fresh items, down to house near Roda, expecting flat pack kitchen there arriving from UK. Busy, busy but in a relaxed way...lol
Have a great journey, if you have time let us know what new ferry like, please.

One thing I am sure of is that if you like Roda, you will love St George South. There is something about the place that draws you back, year after year. The whole resort is so friendly you just want to return again and again.

It looks to me as if there are two types of pumps being discussed here:
 
One being the type fitted on a sterna and generally used to supply water from a tank or well into a house (this has the "bomb" like thingy Bob describes attached. This is a pressure valve which turns the pump motor on when the water pressure drops, in order to keep the supply reasonably constant - ours is installed to switch to the sterna supply when the mains are turned off.  From memory, this costs us about 150 Euros from the hardware store at the BP station between Acharavi and Roda;
 
The other type is a submersible, where the pump itself is dropped into the water supply (as described by Mansej, above) but had a long waterproof flex attached in order to allow it to be plugged in to your electrical supply occasionally, as and when needed.  The pumps are completely waterproof and can be left in the water all of the time.  You will, however, need to fix your own hose to the outlet side - remember to check the diameter as they tend to be larger than normal garden hoses.  I don't know if these are available in Corfu - we have one in the UK which cost about £50, plus the cost of the hose.
 
Hope this helps.
Martyn

Hi Nckd,
There may not be too much going on in April as the season in Corfu doesn't really get up and running until May.
Also Greek Easter is much later this year, Easter Sunday being May 5th, so whereas in past years when Easter has been in April, some places opened for Easter and stayed open, this year they may not open until later.
Probably best to consider Acharavi in the North which is a year round village. Even Kassiopi or Roda (both North) but cannot guarantee that much will be open.
Perhaps someone else can advise of villages Central or South which may be suitable.

Good afternoon to all not a regular poster but have been going to Corfu now for 36 years,so have seen the changes all over. Have stayed reguarly in Benitses and also in Roda where my daughter has a bar with her husband and his family. Personally I would recommend a place close to Corfu town then you have the best of everything, trips out to various places by bus, also plenty of eating places, Greek bars, cafes, shops etc.

Hi,
I am pretty sure that Alfa Taxis are based in Roda although they do cover airport transfers for the north of Corfu. We have used them and found them to be excellent.
The reason that I recommended Kassiopi taxis to Sue for local journeys is that you don't pay the premium for them coming from elsewhere.

Being a person who recommended Roda because to me it mostly fits the criteria that was asked for, I also have to agree with the forum members who have just posted. I was disappointed on my first visit with the number of English style pubs there and the majority of Tavernas selling British staples. Roda worked it's magic and this year will be 8th year there. We mostly avoid the very British pubs and spend our days walking or hiring a car to discover the island, or go to Corfu Town on the local bus. There has been an increase of other nationalities in the last couple of years which has to be a blessing. There is also a couple of businesses opening promising pure Greek food and music, (thank goodness). What everyone has to remember, Corfu tourism was built on the British tourist and without the families returning year in year out Corfu could be in worse straits. Also what about all the Brits who have relocated to Corfu and the women who have married Corfiot men. I love Roda and Corfu.Heart

I think its a bit unfair putting Roda alongside Sidari and Kavos!! Yes it has a high proportion of British visitors but they tend to be made up of family groups that return year on year. It was also obvious last year that a much wider mix of visitors were present in the village during our stay.

Why not stay in Corfu town itself? Easy walking lots of traditional bars and tavernas and then go and visit other places and see for yourself where might be best for a holiday later. Some of the suggestions made on here are just ridiculous but it is all down to personal taste. There is enough info on the internet to steer you away from Brits abroad places like Sidari, Kavos and Roda. Unfortunately by its very nature Corfu can be a bit hilly but that is what makes the views so good. No matter where you end up you will undoubtedly find a special place for you in Corfu.

Hi all very interesting everyone has their own ideas I too find Acharavi and Kassiopi too busy and towny.  I love Sidari that may sound daft but Sidari has a real holiday feel. Have been going since 1991 stayed in Paleo, Roda, Ipsos and many more but don't know what it is about Sidari probably where ever you are you can always walk on the beach or see it from every where. But each to their own long as it makes you happy.

Sorry Janmanessi but don't agree with your comments on Acharavi at all.
A few houses round a well 15 years ago?
I have been going every year (bar one) since 1995 and if anything, Acharavi has got quieter!
The nightclubs have gone, there are now less bars and tavernas on both the high street and beach roads leading to both Roda and Almyros and the old village is practically deserted!
The fact that Acharavi has an old village says it all really.
Sorry, but I mix with the locals in the Adonis, Nosey Corner, local bakery, kaefenions and plenty of small tavernas.
I also have very good Greek friends who have always described Acharavi as the capital of the North because of the facilities it has always had.
Sorry to diasgree but don't really get your point. Yes, it isn't a local village, untouched by tourists up in the hills, but I feel your statement re: 15 years ago merited a response.

All the north and north west coasts are tourist creations- OK Roda was a small village but that is all.  Acharavi may be a town now but I doubt if any 'local' relied on its facilities before about 15 years ago as it used to be just a few houses round the well! They are justly popular resorts but not if someone wants a taste of local life!

Why not try Acharavi?
It's flat, has a mixture of local Greek tavernas, bars and other restaurants.
It's actually a town which is open all year round so not tecnically just a tourist resort, so a great mixture of locals and tourists.
Great bars. Shops on the high street and beach.
Short distance to Roda and Kassiopi.
Plenty of places to stay.
We have been going there since 1995 and love it.
Wherever you go, have a safe and enjoyable trip.
Cheers

I recommend Roda/Acharavi. My husband and I are in our fifties and love Roda and have been going for 7 years. It is quiet, people of all ages with generations of the same family returning each year. It is very flat with sandy beach. There is lots of accomodation to suit all types and budgets. Plenty of tavernas and bars, some are very British but there is also a good selection of purely Greek. Acharavi is a 20-40 minute walk along the coast road with a wide selection of beachfront tavernas to stop at and enjoy the view.

Hi,
When are you intending to go as that will give an idea of how busy or not a resort is.
I would suggest Arillas, Acharavi, Roda, Kassiopi as they are all fairly flat and not too busy.
Are you looking for a sandy beach or pebble? Mostly pebble on the NE coast and sandy on the NW coast.
You don't really get many places on Corfu with with a lot of drunken people so you have a fair bit of choice, it really depends on what you want.

If you find eating out options too limited in Roda, you can walk along the beach road to Acharavi where there will be more choice available, along with larger supermarkets.
The whole area is relatively flat walking until you venture inland.

Davyboy - on the right heading towards Roda?
Possibly the Orpheus - you walk down some steps to get to the bar area from the main street.
It's actually owned by a Corfiot but both his daughters that are usually front of house are dual nationality (born in York actually).
Sorry, but don't know about the cakes/coffee. Perhaps the local bakery?

We call in at Acharavi four or five times every year for coffee and cake (Best on the island). We also have breakfastThumbs Up at a pub on the main street the name slips my mind, English people have it. It's up past the Pumphouse on the right heading to Roda. I'm sure someone will help with the names of both establishments. Please.

Bikes can be hired at Sun Riders http://www.rodaonline.org/sunriders.html-

As to the coast road, well coastal path would be a better description, I am assuming you mean the beach road.  Very little of it is made up. From memory there are parts where it disappears and becomes a very rough track track inland and out again. Certainly on the bit part Acharavi beach it has various obstacles where you would have to get off and negotiate pebbles and sand  and steps. There are even some  bike barriers to deter people on motorbikes LOL

While it is certainly possible with a good map on foot, I would not like to attempt it on a bike myself LOL

The map you need regardless is the one by Mapman  available from this link http://www.agni-animal-welfare-fund.com/MapPageUpdated.asp

It is a brilliant map and accurate and you will not find a better one of Corfu anywhere

By the way the actual road through Acharavi is the main road, there are various roads leading down to the beach and the beach track

Hay sorry for the very late reply, I totaly forgot to post my sightings. First of all I really enjoyed my weeks trip to Sidari 
I arrived at my apartment and was really glad it was outside the noise of Sidari 
I hired a quad for the week and it was brilliant, anyway first morning I was greeted to enormous cricket in my room, a green one, I was at first scared as was my mum lol but when I tried to usher it out it didnt move so I got the brush and shoved it on to the balcony. I saw so many of them I am not ok with them I even had one on my hand in the end 
Birds ... I saw a cirl  bunting in the trees near my apartment heard a scopes owl 3 nights running near my apartment, sparrows by the hundreads, magpies, 3 jays in Corfu town, alpine swifts, red rumped swallows in a few areas, a little owl on a post near Roda. On a drive up into the hills following the road out of Sidari that takes you to Corfu town there is another road to the east coast on a really quiet strech a massive bird of prey flew across the road out of dense woodland into more woodland, not identified but it was dark in colour and about buzard size. On that same trip out I was riding along when I saw a bird in the woods, I stopped quick I only had flip flops on so didnt want to go too far into it, I got a very blurred photo of a wood chat shrike wooo hooo my first 
I also went to that Lake Spiridon, I didnt see too much it was the hot hot day but I did see two terripins, lots of fish and two turtle doves. Got nice photos and had a lovely chat to an American man also birdwatching there 
I saw gold finches there too 
I  miss Corfu so much I am going last week of June for 2 weeks, this time and bringing my boyfriend, mum, dad and neice .... anybody have any idea if the south has birdlife like the north?

I know Maggie retired but has anyone taken over the bar because even though we now always go to Sidari we always have a couple of days on the bus to Roda and I always eat the fish and chips. I used to   eat the large but as I got older went down to the medium. Can anyone tell me if Maggie and her husband are well as he was very ill a couple of years ago.

Hi all,
 
We are renovating a house in Roda and this year need to put in the kitchen. It's small and will compose of around 3x1000m and 1x500m base units and probably 2x500 and 1x1000m wall units. All with doors. Can anyone recommend anywhere in Corfu where we can buy these at a reasonable cost? We only want simple and basic units. Or what would be a rough estimate of getting it brought over from UK. Dilemma for us at the moment. We have friends in Corfu who say that many places are not re-stocking and many have closed. All suggestions gratefully received. We live in South Wales so not close to any ferry ports. Thank you.
