A Roda holiday will take you to Corfu's dazzlingly pretty northern coastline, seemingly becoming one of the island's most popular destinations – and it's not hard to see why.
Its Blue Flag awarded beach, for instance, is among the biggest and most beautiful on the island; a mile-long stretch of golden sand, bordered by pine trees on the one side, with turquoise waters on the other.
Today, the town itself is a great hive of activity, having gradually evolved from being just a small fishing village. The centre is crammed with shops, restaurants and bars, catering for all manner of tastes, but despite its growth into an all-encompassing holiday haven, the town remains distinctly Greek in essence. Many of the older buildings are still intact and, heading down the side streets, you'll find much in the way of quaint cobbled alleyways and family-run restaurants that make for a great flavor of authenticity.

Currency

Greece's monetary unit is the Euro. No other currency is accepted and it is best to exchange dollars or other currency at a bank. The exchange rates are all the same throughout the country and you exchange money at a bank or official exchange shop where you will get the best running rates. Banks are open from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM. At the new airport near the luggage pickup you can find machines that can exchange foreign currency and return Euro.

Tipping
