Messonghi holidays

Holidays to Messonghi centre around a sand-and-shingle beach on Corfu’s south-east coast. This laidback resort’s framed by olive-covered hills and separated from neighbouring Moraitika by a river, placing you just a 40-minute drive from the UNESCO-listed sights of Corfu Town.

A showboat shore

The town of Messonghi’s on Corfu’s south-east shoreline, hemmed in by a row of rolling green hills criss-crossed by scenic walking trails. Most of the action’s centred around the 700-metre-long beach. It's backed by a collection of sea-view eateries – perfect for sunbathing snacks and romantic evening meals alike. The watersports offering here ticks all the boxes, too. Adrenaline junkies can skim across the waves on a banana boat, or give parasailing a go. And, if you’d prefer something slower, pedaloes are available to rent.
