The resort at MORAITIKA has now virtually merged with neighbouring MESSONGHI thanks to a strip of music bars, car rental outfits and souvenir shops. Moraitika is north of the harbour, about 30km south of Corfu Town. The shingle and sand beach is always busy - no doubt helped by the massive 2,000-bed Messonghi Beach Hotel. Moraitika beach has the usual facilities associated with a popular hotel centre.
There are plentyof sunbeds and the usual water sports. For a change, visitors can head for ANO MORAITIKA up one of the steep lanes where you can find an unspoiled village of tiny whitewashed houses covered in flowers, with excellent tavernas and great view.
The resort at MESSONGHI or MESONGHI was once a quiet backwater village but it is now blended in with its neighbout, though this is still the more peaceful end of the resort. All the facilities are concentrated on the beach area, hotels, tavernas, bars and gift shop. It's off the main road so it tends to be quieter.
The beach is long and sandy with more shingle and pebble than its neighbour. There are changing rooms and showers and no end of beachside tavernas. There is one large mini market in the centre of the village and several small shops. Visits to the traditional hillside village of KHLOMOS are popular
