Moraitika Village, Corfu, Rent a car Moraitika Corfu
The old village of Moraitika is located in the south of the island, 6 km from Benitses and about 18 km from Corfu, on a hill on the basis of which has been created the modern resort that extends to the beach.
The majority of the villagers come from immigrants who came from the Peloponnese in the 16th century, hence the name Moraitika. Moraitika has developed into a large enough area that starts from the hill of the old village and reaches to the sea and the neighboring area of Messonghi with which it has been unified today.
The so-called tourist center is located along the main road leading to southern Corfu, here there are the most shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs and the biggest traffic especially at night.
But between the main road and the beach there is a huge area where in recent years it has been filled with hotels and apartments mainly followed by dozens of restaurants, bars and nightclubs, it is gradually claiming the title of the liveliest part of the village.

But also in the old village dominated by narrow streets and traditional houses with small courtyards, there is tourist development. Here you will find mainly traditional taverns but also many rooms to let.
Let’s not forget that Moraitika was an old tourist destination since the 70s and 80s, when although in the shadow of Benitses, they hosted many tourists and there were famous clubs that many tourists from Benitses and the rest of south Corfu visited.
The sea here is ideal for children and families, a mixture of sand and pebbles that deepens very slowly and gradually, so it is a very safe beach for children and those who do not swim well.
It is located on the eastern side of the island that faces the opposite mainland coast and is protected from the strong winds of the wild west coast.
On the beach there are all amenities, water sports, restaurants, bars, cafes, night clubs and many hotels. Families come here again and again, relaxing in the bars and taverns they have visited in previous years and thus renewing old friendships they have made with the locals.
Moraitika in recent years has risen again after declining in their tourist traffic in 2012 – 2018 as has happened with other places, every year Moraitika is now a fixed tourist destination for many foreign visitors.
The charm of the Moraitika is that any change is made gradually, the visitor who returns after an absence of a few years will still be able to recognize his favorite haunts and remember their owners.
On cool evenings many people walk up the hill to the old village, where there are some bars and taverns, there locals and visitors relax enjoying the view over the bay.
Moraitika is also a good base for exploring the south of Corfu, there are beautiful old villages hidden on the hills, attractive coves and fishing villages of the east coast, and the large sandy area of about 30 kilometers in the west .
