To those who have not been to
Corfu (let alone Roda), the Island is stunningly beautiful with impressive sea and inland views. For walkers, there are well laid-out trails taking you through calm olive groves and spectacular hills teeming with different species of wildlife and plants. Another great way to get around is by horse, and there is an excellent trekking centre just outside Roda village. Other activities include water sports, boat hire and mini go-kart circuits. In fact, Roda is a perfect place for a young family holiday. Children are a focal point of Greek life, and they are made quite a fuss of, thereby allowing the parents a little more relaxation than they might have expected whilst on holiday. The bathing in Roda is safe as the sea is shallow, and there are also any amount of swimming pools with free admittance. For medical needs, there are three resident doctors and a pharmacy to look after any health problems.
