Messonghi and Moraitika Corfu

Hiya,
I have been looking at Benitses for next year as a change from Messonghi,  Yeah I don't travel far from "home"!).

Thing is, I holiday alone now , and would like to find a cosy bar, where I could sit outside listening to good music, and be able to "people watch" if there is no one around to chat to. I am thinking of staying at Argo Studios, and would probably eat there most evenings, but I do like to have a meal beside the sea at sunset, any ideas on traditional tavernas by the beach or seafront would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jackie

A long time since last post on this I know but would just like to say the boards had been repaired when we were there in May and hoping they still ok when we go back in September. Its a great shame that the beach in Messonghi is not looked after properly because so many people love Messonghi and go back year after year like myself. Whose responsibility is the up keep of the beach???
View Topic: Beach In Messonghi

I was in Messonghi for 2 weeks at the end of May this year and the rubbish situation was terrible. The rubbish was piled high on the road near to Zacs Taverna the smell was terrible then the rubbish was collected and because it had been there so long and all the liquids HAD seeped out the area was stinking but they did come and swill the area. We left just after this so don't know what has happened since. We go back to Messonghi on September and hoping its been resolved. My guess is new visitors to Corfu this year wont be going back after seeing all the piles of rubbish.

Hi. I think the old man is still alive & lives in Messonghi we see him every time we visit & some one told us he was the old boatman & he has a gravelly voice so I’m sure it’s him. Hope we can keep these posts going I really miss reading them.

Hiya Alleykat,

Firstly, I have never had a bad meal in Messonghi, most taverna s are of a similar standard and prices. My favourites though are Minore, excellent menu, and Haris & Family will make you really welcome. Korali, on the way down to the beach heading from Minore is excellent value for money, looks more like a cafe but is good for any meals all day. Next to Korali, the Seaside Snack bar is a lovely place to relax, and the kids can still be on the beach in front. Bacchus Taverna, also on the beach is a cut above the rest but more expensive.
For trips out there is Messonghi Travel Centre, where you can book various excursions or walk by the river and you can book boat trips directly with the Captains. There is a bus service into Corfu Town also from Messonghi. Some nice walks in the area if the kids are up for it! You will find that all the locals in the village are so friendly and helpful.
Any specific questions, just ask away! Where are you staying?

Been trying lately to think of a topic to post about & hopefully get people chatting. I have just answered a question on another forum regarding the little rowing boat that ferries people from Messonghi Beach Hotel side of the river over to the village. It's going on for 30 years since I was first in Messonghi, think it was one drachma per person then to go across! Anyone remember so far back, and the elderly chap who used to row across? He had the most deep, gravelly voice I have ever heard. Used to keep all his coins under a piece of carpet in the bottom of the boat as I remember!

Hi Corfusun58,
The site does seem exceptionally quiet, hopefully it will get busier. Like you, I also love to read whats happening on the island when we are not there.
We don't really know Messonghi very well. We usually stay somewhere on the north-east coast, but we did travel all round the island when we stayed on Corfu for three months each year, way back in 2006, 2007 and 2008 .... our retirement gift to ourselves!!!
I remember liking Messonghi very much, even though it was a cloudy day in November!
Lets hope someone will post news of what has been happening.

View Topic: Does Nobody Post On Here Anymore

Just back from Messonghi yesterday, originally booked for June but had to cancel unfortunately, but managed to grab a week. One of the lovely things about Messonghi is that nothing ever changes too much. Same lovely people with a few new additions. Amazingly, after 6 years they all remembered me. In fact, I was well and truly told off by Victor's daughter Angela, demanding to know where I had been all this time! They have made a good job of the new Barino Bar, was pleasantly surprised. George looks well, and I do like the new look Timeout. Seaside Bar still popular, new faces running it for me but still so friendly, and I never get tired of that view! Stayed at the Aquarius which has a lovely pool area, so handy for everything and the staff are lovely. They seem to have sorted out the sunbed issues on the beach, and there were plenty available down by Seaside and To Meraki without feeling too overcrowded. The only thing about the beach though is the very poor state of the boardwalk after Seaside up to Christina, it was a bit hazardous in places and would be better taken away altogether rather than left as it is. I have read a lot about the rubbish issues on Corfu lately, was pleasantly surprised to find the village itself was spotless. Weather was very " hit & miss ", but mostly good. Clouds and cooler in the morning, but that gave me the chance to have a few pleasant walks without the heat of the afternoon, perfect!
All in all, a nice relaxing week and so glad I went.

View Topic: Who Is Open In Messonghi In April?

Well, we had a great time in Corfu in 2016, visiting for a few days in May, 3 weeks in August/September,
and a few days in October.
We stayed in Messonghi this year for 3 nights, and visited lots of areas in the South. It’s quite astonishing
how different the South of the island is to the North (at least to us). We enjoyed our stay in the South
(especially Lefkimmi), but we now know that the North is our home, so to speak.
Highlights this year were finally finding the waterfall near Nymfes and having a dip, my wife and 2 girls going
on a jet ski in Agios Stephanos, having a couple of lazy and long lunches at the fabulous Binilikia in Petalia with
good friends and a great host in Katerina, and my personal favourite, the Corfu beer festival.
So, we have already booked our flights for 2017, with a week in May, 2 weeks in July/August and 5 nights
in October (that one without the kids). Can’t wait to be back on the island, especially to see our friends
Claire and Andy who have now made the move out there and have a wonderful house, in a great location.
Here’s to 2017 being a really prosperous year for Corfu, it’s inhabitants and all who visit her.
Merry Christmas one and all

We are thinking of trying somewhere different in Corfu for 2017 for a family holiday. Looking for a resort with a nice sandy beach we usually go to Messonghi and love it but that is just the 2 of us and can cope with the beach there, it isn't very nice and just doesn't seem to be getting looked after anymore but ok for us but next year taking family and grandchild so want a nice beach.
Can anyone advise me on the resort we will be going 1st week September will it be busy quiet or just nice and looking for accommodation which is near to the beach and any with pools so we have best of both worlds.
We are going to Messonghi in June as I've said earlier love the place and the people are just so friendly it's like going to second home.
Looking forward to some information on St George South no matter how small anything that will help me choose well. Thank you.

Hi Shakespearstar, no not disappointed we loved Paxos and will return in a couple of years but I did think the people definitely were not as friendly as lots of other Greek islands I have visited. We stayed in Gaios and had a fantastic 10 days, we visited anti Paxos where we had a lovely lunch we also went by bus to Loggos and Lakka and had a lovely lunch we also went to Mogonissi twice had lovely lunches but the service or the friendliness was not what we have experienced in other Greek islands. We ate out for 10 nights in Gaios and to be honest I really missed fresh vegetables like we normally get in Corfu but it was chips 90% of the time a couple of nights we had rice with whatever we ordered.
Gaios itself was fantastic to wander round watch all the different yachts come in had some lovely shops and is a place we will visit again but food wise Messonghi in Corfu to name but one beats it hands down and I don't mean the all inclusive Messonghi Beach hotel I mean the little local tavernas in Messonghi village.
I think maybe Loggos and Lakka will be friendlier and offer a better service and food after reading other reviews online.

You can do a trip to Paxos but it is by ferry, you are picked up around 8am in Messonghi and took to the Ferry. Paxos is lovely we are staying there for 10 days this year really looking forward to it.
There is a night trip also to Corfu Town which is also very nice.

Last year the beach at Messonghi had over flowing bins and was not kept clean does anyone know if this will be the case this year?
I understand it is the responsibility of the persons who has sunbeds on the beach to keep there area clean well, that wasn't the case for the stretch from seaside bar to Christina's.
Plus all the boards on the beach were broken and very dangerous to walk along, also the boards along by Dionysos were broken. The changing room was all smashed up in May but was rectified when we went back towards the end of the season.
It is a great shame the beach is not kept nice when Messonghi is such a wonderful resort and attracts visitors back year after year, you would think some pride would be taken of the beach.

View Topic: Messonghi Help Please

Hi Gerry, sorry, yes I mean summer 2016.

I have looked online, Delphina Hotel looks lovely, but any booking sites all quote half board/AI and we only want room only or B&B

Messonghi Beach hotel is again half board AI - def not doing either - it also looks a bit big, and as we don't have children, it's probably more suited to families.

3 stars Hotel looks nice, but the reviews of the very nearby Golden Beach bar and music blaring until late concerns me

Christina Hotel, location wise looks ideal, but reviews say the beds are very uncomfortable (a lot of reviews saying this)

So any recommendations for a hotel very near the beach, not affected by late night bars, and that has comfortable beds would be great

Hi Annie. Moraitika is a good resort as it is on the "road side" for bars/tavernas and the beach is sandy and shallow. There are a number of good tavernas but we all have our favourites.

next August, but this year, we have decided to have a short break (3 nights, 4 days)

in Messonghi too. We have booked the Aquarius Apartments and have

never really explored the South of the Island. So my questions are:

1.       Which tavernas/bars are a must visit in Messonghi/the surrounding area?

2.       Which places/beaches are a must see whilst there?

We are a family of 4 with a 3 and 12 year old, and we will have a hire car so travelling

around the South of the Island is no problem.

All recommendations are much appreciated.

We have been going to Messonghi for the past 5 years and stay in Messonghi village which is across the river from the Messonghi Beach hotel. The hotel you mention is no longer there or if it is we have not noticed it. Was the hotel on the beach or the road behind the beach??
Messonghi is a wonderful little place with many lovely tavernas serving good food with very friendly locals. As I have said we have been going for the past 5 years but many people we have met during our stays there have been going for over 20 years so that in itself speaks volumes.

Hello all,

We stayed in Corfu back in 1982 in a hotel called the Melissa Beach. It was just across the river from the Messonghi Beach Hotel. I cannot imagine that the Melissa Beach Hotel is still there but anyone familiar with the name might know what it's like there now?

I remember we used to pay the local lads 10 drachma to be ferried across the river in a rowing boat. Very dodgy on the way back after a few ouzos!

We recently went on a cruise starting out from Corfu town but didn't have the time to explore. We will probably visit next year as I would love to go back there. It's been 33 years and long, long overdue ...

Hi Janmanessi
Thank you for the number I will try him today. The one we use has school run at time of us landing. Is he based in Messonghi/Moriatika?
I need to book a few because friends are following out the 2nd week...

Sunday lunch treat would be sardines, Greek salad, crusty bread and tzatziki on the beach at Boukari.

Evening meal either kleftico or rabbit stifado at Minore in Messonghi.

But then again...!!!
