Holidays to Roda
For a charming, serene seaside getaway that’s big on beaches, flavours and Greek island vibes, a holiday to Roda in sunshiny Corfu is your ticket to island bliss.
Greek island sun, sea and sand
There are many reasons why Corfu draws in holidaymakers by the bucketload, but the star attraction without a shadow of a doubt is its crystal clear, turquoise coastline. And Roda, on the northern shores, doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to tranquil seaside wonderfulness.
Roda Beach is the perfect place to top up your tan and splash around well away from the crowds, while in nearby Acharavi you can tank up and scuba on down to meet plenty of flipper, finned and tentacled underwater residents. Kick things up a notch with a cave dive or take your PADI while you’re here.
Day and overnight trips
As well as being a bastion of beauty in its own right, Roda is the ideal base to explore some of the Greek Islands’ greatest hits. Take the achingly beautiful islands of Paxos and Antipaxos, which are just a short boat trip away from Corfu Town. They’re home to unspoiled beaches and chilled-out tavernas. Day trip it or stop over.
Back on dry land, your Roda holiday also offers you the opportunity to travel south to see the majestic Achilleion Palace and the oh-so-charmingly cobbled alleys of the Old Town of Corfu (UNESCO-listed mic drop).
Thrills in the hills
Roda sits between a beautiful beach and sensational greenery. Walk away from the bay for a hardcore hike to the Nymfes Waterfall, which looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. Make your way to Episkepi to take a tour of the ancient settlements in the shadow of Mount Pantokrator. Or keep it closer to home with a wander around the Roda Loop. Super views of Agios Georgios are guaranteed.
Prefer to do your sightseeing atop a steed? Hire a horse for a few hours to see the sights from the saddle and test out your best cowboy impression.

Things to explore
Top beaches: Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Roda’s long, sloping beach is perfect for surveying the shallows. Grab a snorkel and you can duck and dive way off shore without venturing out of your depth. Back on the sheltered sand, all that’s left to do is kick back and soak up the chilled out vibes. For a few more facilities and a place to hire a pedalo or two, take a wander down the coast to Acharavi Beach. Expect loungers, umbrellas and all the other ingredients you need for a lazy day in the sun. Looking for low-key village vibes? Scoot on over to the small but perfectly formed Acquasanta Beach for no-frills fun.
Nightlife: Let the good times roll (calmly)
Roda’s cool, calm and collected character extends to its nocturnal attractions, too, with mellow bars where you can sip cocktails at a leisurely pace. Take The Boathouse. Grab a drink topped with a tiny umbrella, find a spot on the terrace and enjoy views of the glittering Ionian sea. Pirates Bar serves up some more of the same and, with sunbeds on the beach coming with service, it’s a top spot to ease into a night out after a day out on the sand. When you’re ready to dance, proceed to the Drunken Sailor. Think neon lights and cocktails as deep as the Med.
Family-friendly: Poseidon’s playground
Family holidays to Roda are as laidback and fun-packed as you want them to be. On the chilled-out side of things, you and the kids can happily while away the hours building castles on the sandy beach, splashing around in the warm shallows or setting sail on a boat trip or two. Like to get out and about? Try Aqualand, a sprawling waterpark that has every kind of slide, pool and water-based ride you can imagine. Little ones can toddle through the Pirate Playground and Fantasy Island and float on the lazy river, while big ‘uns (including mums and dads) can test their mettle on the kamikazes and double twisters.
When to go to Roda
Book a holiday to Roda in the sun-drenched, sizzling height of summer to experience Corfu’s beaches at their golden, glistening best. July and August serve up the most tantastic of temperatures, which regularly hover around the high 20s.
For a better shot at a bargain beach break with lots of Greek island sunshine to lap up, look to travel to Roda on either side of the summer, in May-June or September-October. Temperatures in the low to mid-20s mean you should still make it to the beach.
If you’re here for the hikes and the history, a springtime break has your name written all over it. Between March and April, Roda’s hills and trails are at their blooming best. And there’s less chance of you sweating off your suncream as well.
