Advantages: Beautiful resort - great people Disadvantages: Very Quiet
Roda, Corfu is an excellent holiday if you are looking for a relaxing trip with great weather, lovely food and friendly locals. This is the perfect holiday for couples or older tourists. The scenery is beautiful, very green and plenty of olive groves. The beach was peaceful on both of our visits - but this was September. The beach was pebbles and I prefer sand, but the water was shallow and crystal clear.
We stayed in the same block of apartments ...

Advantages: Small,Village type, local holiday Disadvantages: Poor shopping, gets quite crowded, bit behind the times
...were loads of positives with Roda, but it did appear to be different to the type of holidays i was used to in Tenerife.
Me and the missus stayed at the Roda studios that are virtually on the beach. These were all self catering and clean and modern. Nice bedroom and seperate sitting area so was like home from home where the accomodation was concerned. First thing in the morning to sit on the balcony and watch the sun rise was fantastic.
We used ...

Advantages: Lovely hotel, and village, good excursions Disadvantages: Seawater pool, and stray dogs
RODA BEACH HOTEL IN RODA, CORFU. Holiday taken in May '99. Very enjoyable. This hotel was comfortable and quite faultless. One thing my kids didn't like was that the 3 pools were all seawater rather than freshwater. The food was excellent, plenty of choice and being on H/B you could have as much as you wanted. The salads were especially good.
The entertainment team, well, sometimes they were a little dull, and unimaginative, the one night a particularly ...

Advantages: Everything you need for a good holiday Disadvantages: Not much night life
On the North coast of Corfu lies a the small village of Roda. It is nicely placed between the larger towns of Sidari and Acharavi. Roda has a long sandy beach which stretches up to Acharavi, it is kept very clean and cleared of rubbish daily. There is a multitude of small shops, restaurants, bars and cafe's all within easy walking distance of any apartment and the people are very, very friendly.
A lot of places are run by English people who either ...

Advantages: Lots of sun, sea and sand Disadvantages: More expensive than some other places
We went to Roda in Corfu in July 2002 and stayed at the Roda Oasis Hotel. This is a small family run hotel with some self catering apartments (28 & 13 room respectively. Direct Holidays misrepresented the hotel by saying air conditioning and cooking facilities were available in all rooms, but they are only in the self catering apartments.
Apart from that it was a good holiday. The hotel is looked after by 2 brothers, Costas and Nicos who are assisted ...

Advantages: Cheap beer (£1 a pint of Amstel) Disadvantages: were do i start?
Upon arrival in Roda,i was greeted with false impressions, the scenery from the plane was fantastic, matched again by the view from the bus. However hopes of a visual treat were dashed when i arrived at the appartment. Stepping off the bus i was greated by a shanty looking buildings,and a hum of filth in the air.
(Theodorus appartments)The appartment was small but reasonable,a small kitchen fridge and kettle.the shower was poor but a welcome relief ...

Advantages: quiet place Disadvantages: no real timetables
my wife and i recently traveled to roda in corfu,where we met what must be the friendliest people on earth. Nothing was to much bother no matter where you went you were always made wellcome and the staff everywhere made a point of remembering you when you retuned to their establishment. The only downside is the greek sense of time, this takes a bit of getting used to, as a greek minute can mean anything from an hour to a whole week! but this is the ...
