The village of
Messonghi is situated on the east coast of Corfu, south of
Corfu town. Unlike a number of the other southern costal resorts in
Corfu, which have developed around the busy southern coastal road, the village of messonghi benefits from a location which sees the road bypass the village approximately half a kilometre inland leaving the village to nestle peacefully against the coast line while taking advantage of the ease of access and transport opportunities the coastal road brings to the other resorts.
Messonghi is relatively unspoilt by tourism, and still retains the welcoming characteristics of a Greek coastal village.
You will find a variety of tavernas both on the sea front offering lovely views across to the Greek main land. Look out for the spectacular thunder and lightning storms on the mainland, its not uncommon to see spectators sitting at the variety of beach bars and taverners watching the light show during the islands warm summer evenings. There are also a number bars and tavernas set back from the coastline and a a variety shops and supermarkets, there's even a bakery. Public telephones are scattered around the village, mobile phone reception is generally good, and the village is service by busses, with the bus stop in the centre of
Messonghi. Facilities are extended further as all the villages hotels have an open door policy so you can take advantage of their pools, restaurants and bars should you so wish. While the nearby town of
Moraitika has banking, facilities cash machines and a post office.
