Messonghi
and Moraitika villages are located twenty kilometres south from
Corfu Town. They are traditional Greek villages built on a rise
on the east coast of Corfu island.
The main road to the south of the island passes through here,
near the village and through Benitses and Moraitika, northwards,
this road runs along the coast, separated from the sea only by
a narrow strip of land with views to sandy beaches the sea and
the Greek mainland mountains to the east.
As far back as Roman times, and still today, this coastline has
been the first choice of the summer holidaymakers.
Messonghi village itself is seperated from Moraitika by the Messongi
river, which flows into the sea at a point between the 2 villages.
At both sides of the river you can find warm sandy beaches, ideal
for bathing, and plenty of tourist services.
There you can find small secluded bays to a long beautiful sandy
beach. During the day the life revolves around the beaches and
the water sports and then as night falls the whole resort is one
big party. You can find from small typical Greek tavernas serving
traditional dishes to luxury restaurants which serve a variety
of menus. |
