Messonghi beach guide

Messonghi is a village on the southeast coast, about 20 km south of Corfu Town, where the Messonghi river reaches the sea. The river separates it from Moraitika, and the two villages' beaches meet at the bridge.

The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, and the sea deepens very gradually, so it's usually calm and shallow enough for young children. There are sunbeds, umbrellas and watersports, and tavernas and beach bars along the shore.

Messonghi is the quieter of the two villages; for livelier evenings, Moraitika is a short walk away.
