We love Messonghi, its very friendly and laid back. There are good supermarkets for self catering if needed, a few very good places to eat, lovely coffee shop. Everything is in walking distance and mainly flat. A very relaxing place. We ate at Taverna Minori many times, Kerali, To Meraki, Mojo's and Bo the Butcher and tried Archontiko for the first time. In our experience these are the best places in Messonghi to eat.

This resort had everything - tavernas supermarkets/gift shops and did not have the overwhelming touristy feel some resorts have . Another beach - Prasoudi can be reached by car in 15 minutes, which had hard sand sun loungers and a bar, really lovely. Buses stop nearby and a bus trip to Corfu Town is 2.20euros each. and takes about 30-40mins

I have visited Messonghi many times. It is tourist village but not overly so. There are restaurants along the beachfront, a few (well stocked ) supermarkets and gift shops. There are a few bars but this village is not a big party town. Good if you like a meal and a few wines in the evening. There are boat trips available (I recommend Captain Homers) . The village is nestled between the mountains on the South coast. It’s not far into Corfu town and in the other direction is a lovely village called Boukari which has fabulous fish restaurants ( Spiros Karadis in particular). I recommend Messonghi for people who want a relaxed peaceful holiday by the sea .

I've been visiting Messonghi since 2001 and have witnessed its evolution firsthand. Originally a quaint fishing village, it's seen significant modernization over recent years, a change that some might welcome while others could find off-putting. The charm of Messonghi, however, lies in its compactness, as everything is within a short walk, be it along the beach or via the busier road behind. My personal dining favorites in the area are Taverna Minore and Korali Snack Bar. Taverna Minore is a charming, authentic Greek spot where the food is simply outstanding, courtesy of the talented chef. Their prices are incredibly fair for what they offer, but do note that due to its popularity, it's advisable to reserve a table in advance. The owner is a wonderfully welcoming man; if you take the time to engage him in conversation, he's likely to invite you to sit and share a glass of Ouzo with him. Korali Snack Bar is a family-run establishment with an extensive and affordable menu. The hosts have maintained their friendly and welcoming demeanor through the years, always greeting us with the same enthusiasm as they did on our first visit – it's undoubtedly one of the highlights of the area! Just a stone's throw from Korali is Time Out Boss, a cozy bar run by some truly lovely people. The bartender, Lefteri, a friend for 16 years, always greets guests with a smile. Big boss George, a fixture at the bar, is great for a chat and a laugh, and “Tiny George” ensures smooth service at all the tables. He's a master of maintaining professional service and friendship, which deserves a special shout-out. Out of respect for the locals, I won't share negative experiences with specific places here. Instead, I'd recommend checking Google Maps and TripAdvisor for further insight into other eateries. Some might not retain the same charm as they did years ago, so it's wise to do a little research before your visit.

Messonghi is the perfect place for a quite peaceful holiday, all the local inhabitants are very friendly and will go out of their way to help when needed. Bars and restaurants are in plenty full supply, we stayed for 9 nights and ate out at a different restaurant each evening, all excellent. As there has been insufficient space to give a special mention to hotel staff elsewhere I take this opportunity to say that the following were all exceptional:- Takis, Marina, Vasilis, Demitri, Alex and Heffi Senior and junior, what an exceptional contribution they made to our Holiday, thank you all so very much.

Mesongi has a good mix of both accommodation and restaurants and there is no shortage of things to do. The resort has a very good feel about it where the newer high end accommodation and old style Greek hotels offer a good balance whilst shops and services were also plentiful with a good bud service and taxis available. Good walking and boat trips and the local restaurants were superb.
