💡 Tips
- The beach is mostly sandy but has some pebbles near the water's edge, so bringing water shoes is a good idea.
- To explore the older, more traditional part of the village, walk up the hill away from the main coastal road.
- The local bus service (Green Buses) connects easily to Corfu Town, making it a cheap day trip option.
- For the best sunrise views, head to the beach early in the morning before the sun loungers fill up.
🍽 Food
Try this traditional Corfiot veal dish cooked in a garlic and white wine sauce, available at most traditional tavernas along the main strip.
Look for waterfront tavernas offering the catch of the day, usually grilled with lemon and olive oil.
A sweet, brightly colored local specialty of Corfu, often offered as a complimentary digestif after your meal.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Pick up hand-carved kitchenware or decorative items made from local olive wood in the souvenir shops along the main road.
Great for buying affordable Corfiot olive oil, honey, and local spices to take home.
A peaceful stroll up the hill reveals narrow alleys, traditional houses, and sweeping views of the coastline away from the resort bustle.
Walk south to where the river meets the sea; it's a calmer spot first-rate for a quiet evening walk watching small fishing boats.

Situated on the southeastern coast of Corfu, Moraitika is a bustling resort village that balances modern amenities with traditional Greek charm. The old village, Ano Moraitika, sits on a hill offering panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, narrow alleys, and authentic tavernas serving local specialties like sofrito, pastitsada, and fresh seafood. The coastal area is spirited, packed with shops, bars, and restaurants. The heart of the summer experience here is the expansive Moraitika Beach, stretching along the coast with a mix of sand and fine pebbles. The waters are remarkably calm, shallow, and warm, making it an exceptionally safe and enjoyable environment for families with small children. Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty of activities, while others can easily rent sunbeds for a great day. Moraitika is highly accessible, located just 20 kilometers south of Corfu Town and the international airport. Regular local buses provide convenient connections to the capital and other popular spots. The nearby Messonghi River provides beautiful walking paths and small boat trips, adding another layer of charm to this lively destination.
