Situated in the northern part of the island Roda , once a small fishing village now Roda is a profoundly developed tourist resort with true variety of facilities available for visitors from all around the world. Unlike beaches of Korfu, that usually are either rocky, either gravelled the beach in Roda is sandy, only sometimes a bit rocky. It is undeniably perfect for families with kids as the atmosphere is peaceful and quiet. For tourists interested in night entertainment it is poossible to get to Acharavi that is a true partying centre of this part of Corfu. It is situated 3 km away from Roda.
Another, toally different resort is Kavos situated in southern part of the island. It is always buzzing with chatty twenty-somethings that go there to party till the first rays of sun appear from behind the horizon. There is plenty of possibilities to choose from : cosy cafes, inimitable Greek restaurants and whole lot of night clubs playing every popular genre of music to cater for tastes of all tourists that more oftten than not tend to be a bit fussy. Yet this place is unarguably deprived of true Greek spirit, everything is here made in a way as to please the tourist. No old-style authenticity. The southern tip of Corfu island tempts visitors with its five-kilometers-long wide, sandy beach. In close proximity to the pounding with night life town of Kavos there is Aghios Petros that provides a quieter alternative to lively Kavos: it provides perfect surroundings for older people or families with children.
