Hi All, we are looking to book a late hol for the first week in Oct 05, having just returned from Stalis in Crete (our first hol there) and had a great time, so we want to try some other Greek hols now.
We really fancy a week in Corfu (never been before), and have seen the "Roda Oasis Hotel/Apts" at a good price. I have read all the reviews and they sound good. Has anyone been there recently? What is the weather likely to be like first week in Oct, and will Roda still be lively?
When we were in Stalis-Crete the other week we really loved the food as there were loads of nice restaurants there. Is there plenty of choice in Roda, as we would go SC or B&B, any recommendations?
Any advice would be appreciated, as we hope to book up soon,
Cheers,
Ray.
Roda will not be lively in October! The night club at the village crossroads will only be open on Friday and Saturday nights and you will find the average age of people holidaying then to be middle aged or families with young children.
The weather should be fine. I have been to Corfu several times at the end of October and have never even seen a cloud although it can be chilly at night.

We were in Roda in October a couple of years ago.Had a bit of rain but otherwise good weather.If you go find Maggie's restaurant and try her fish and chips.I'm not one for eating English food while i'm away but you really will miss a treat if you don't try them.Also try the Oddyseus restaurant.We ate there many times and never had a bad meal.The staff were really nice and made us so welcome.Corfu is a beautiful green island well worth seeing.
I would recommend the Odysseus too. It's my children's favourite restaurant. The food is always cooked well and presented well. The kitchens are clean, I've been in them quite a few times when they wanted to show me something new. The prices are reasonable and we never paid for dessert, it has always come free. Last time we were there, they insisted that we did not pay for our final lunch and presented us with a bottle of my favourite wine plus a lovely locally made carafe.
Go hungry one day and then go in for the Big Meze. Fifteen different dishes in sizable proportions. Wonderful!
The Dolphin, which is right on the beach does a lovely charcoal grilled souvlaki plus their fish is a treat.

Have been to Corfu quite a few time, find September and October can be a bit iffy but still better than England so hope you are lucky and enjoy every moment

We have booked up to go to the Roda Oasis in October, we got a great deal and decided to risk it. The reports look great and I have never been to Greece before, and I am really looking forward to it. When are you going.

Gizmo, hope you enjoy every minute of your holiday, glad you have taken the chance, you don't have to come home with a great tan to prove you've had a great time.

Pojo am I to take it from your reply that the weather will not be very good in October, it is the second week in October that I go.
Hi Gizmo, October can be the rainy season in Corfu, but who knows with weather abroad, Friends of our who live there say the weather is lovely at the moment, quite a lot of places may have closed but I'm sure you will enjoy the break from England, Take a pac a mac just as a precaution.
