Moraitika is situated on a plain, just 12 kilometres away from the capital of the island, Corfu, and 10 kilometres from Benitses. It was once a small town < the old part of the settlement still remains on the hills over the sandy beach>. Rapid development of the resort, hotels, restaurants, night clubs emerging at high speed caused Moraitika to reach the bank of the river Messonghi, further lies the town of Messonghi. These two nowadays seem to be melting in one.
Moraitika has plenty of attractions to offer. It is usually full of young people, either tightly-knit groups of friends or couples. Clubs open till late and discos pounding with the rhythm of music until dawn create a bit loose and cheerful atmosphere. Yet Moraitika is not as lively as Kavos, one can find peace here as well.
For those who find renting apartments a bit too bourgeois: in Agios Gorgios there is a hotel, called Pink Palace, for backpackers. Pink Palace offers cheap and comfortable accommodation for a low price. It is aimed mainly at young people seeking great fun and adventure while on holidays. Yet this place has not only rooms to offer, it also caters for other needs of tourists. There are many activities to choose from: bungee jumping, visiting caves full of bats, snorkeling, hiking and exploring secluded beaches. What is probably most important: the hotel always employs young and enegetic animators that take care of visitors trying to entertain them in the best way possible. Apartments bleak a bit in comparison to Pink Hotel
