Hi Nadia & welcome to the forum. There are lots of reviews of the various bars & restaurants, all written by our members, on this site, have a look at them & feel free to ask any questions that you might have. Theo's is one of the most popular complexes with a nice pool & bar and is only a 5 minute walk from the village center. There is a local museum just down the main road together with a Roman baths excavation and an excavation of the temple of Apollo here in Roda. Hydropolis water park is in the next town - Acharavi, and there is Aqualand water park farther away in the middle of the island, they too are both reviewed on here. Enjoy your first visit to our village, if you're like everyone else it probably won't be your last. pete.

We were first-timers a couple of weeks ago but had visited the main sights of Corfu previously. We found plenty to do locally without going too far. Walked into Arachavi and taxi back - 7euros, bus to Sidari and back, walks up the beach to the two beachfront all-inclusives and plenty of relaxation, shopping and eating/drinking.
You'll find the time flies.
Oh!! and don't forget the Wednesday forum get together.

Hi Nadia! Think you'll love it as much as we do. There's plenty to do in the evenings too. You can have as quiet or as busy an evening as you want.
How long are you going for? Where you staying?

Awww....if you'd been there a fortnight, you'd still have been there when I arrive. Roda's the perfect spot for you, if you want an inbetween. You CAN have a wild night out or you can have a nice quiet one. It's the kind of place that you can make it the way you want it. I really hope you do enjoy your holiday.

Im excited. Im gonna book horse riding as a suprise X pixie, make sure you have a relaxing drink one evening at the Brandy Shop. Sit outside and let the evening roll by, watching the illuminated ferries sail past in the distance, with Albania in the background. Ask Jami at Theos' to point you in the right direction, you won't regret it! Enjoy your holiday Tony

Lovely during the day too - There's a wee decking out over the water & you can sit there & catch the sea breeze, under a massive sun umbrella. Nice if you want a cool down!
