You are really spoilt for choice in Corfu when it comes to picking somewhere to stay for your holiday there. One good spot is Messonghi, which is located towards the south eastern end of the island.

If you want to head for a big resort you’ll need to give Messonghi a miss, because it certainly doesn’t rank as big in anyone’s book. However with that said you can certainly have a wonderful time here because you won’t have the same degree of crowds that come as part and parcel of the bigger resorts in Corfu. The good news is that if you do want to see the slightly busier Corfu Town while you are on the island, it’s only about fourteen miles away.

Messonghi is great for a family holiday because the swimming is safe for kids to enjoy. There are shallower areas and a beautifully long sandy beach as well, providing you with just about all you need for some all day rest and relaxation. You also don’t have to worry about nearby roads as the beach is set some distance away from the nearest road, while still being nice and easy to access. Did we mention how good this resort is for families? It’s easy to see why.

When you are feeling a bit peckish you won’t have to walk too far to find sustenance either. There are some nice and friendly tavernas along the front, just as you would expect there to be. With lots of wonderful dishes served up on a daily basis you won’t be in any doubt as to the reasons why people come here throughout the day to stave off their hunger.

It is definitely the quieter nature of Messonghi that makes it a real hit with many holidaymakers. Another reason why families love it is because traffic here is really thin on the ground. It doesn’t mean you don’t have to keep your eyes open of course, but there’s no doubt this resort has a completely different look and feel to the main venues like Corfu Town.

So if you thought Corfu was too noisy or raucous for you, think again.
