Moraitika beach guide

Moraitika is a long beach of sand and fine shingle on the east coast, in front of a busy resort that merges with Messonghi to the south. The sea is calm and gets deeper only very gradually, so it's a good choice for families with small children.

Sunbeds, umbrellas, tavernas and beach bars are just steps from the water, and there's a small wooden pier and watersports. Above the modern resort, the old village of Moraitika is worth a wander for its narrow lanes and tavernas.

Moraitika was awarded a Blue Flag in 2026. It's about 20 km south of Corfu Town, a 30–35 minute drive, and buses run along the coast to Benitses and Corfu Town.
