Coastal villages and Ionian Sea in South East Corfu

Messonghi

A Relaxed Coastal Resort beside the Messonghi River

ABOUT

Messonghi sits immediately south of Moraitika around the beach and river mouth. The resort has a relaxed holiday feel with hotels, apartments, tavernas and access to the sea.

Its position is convenient for exploring the south-east coast, with Moraitika next door and smaller fishing villages such as Boukari and Petriti farther south.

A stay around beach and river

Messonghi's river mouth and beach give the resort a different layout from neighbouring Moraitika. Check which side and part of the area your accommodation occupies, and ask about the route to the shore and evening venues. A short map distance does not establish the most convenient crossing or walking route.

Exploring the south-east at a slower pace

Boukari and Petriti offer separate fishing-village outings, while Moraitika adds another nearby resort setting. Pick one change of scene rather than trying to visit every coastal settlement in a day. Green Bus B7 is the named connection to investigate for Messonghi, including the current return timetable. For a longer stay, consider the practical route to shops and dinner alongside the appeal of a river or sea view.
