Moraitika situated on a coastal plain on the east coast of Corfu and has a backdrop of olive grove covered hills. Situated just 12 miles from the capital Corfu Town and the airport. Benitses resort is 4 miles north. Moraitika has grown a great deal over the years and is now a very developed resort that is tending to merge with the Messonghi resort on the other side of the river Messonghi , which forms the border between the two. The original village of Ano Moraitika still exists on the hill above but is now dwarfed by the largely purpose-built resort that runs along either side of the coast road. Moraitika is based around this main strip which has plenty of bars, tavernas and restaurants, many offering
British options alongside Greek favourites. There are plenty of lively clubs and discos open until late but Moraitika is not as wild as the youth Kavos. The resort is a cosmopolitan mix of families, younger couples and those wanting plenty of lively entertainment, plentiful budget to mid-range accommodation and a sandy beach close to Corfu Town.
