Apollo Palace Hotel Village

Apollo Palace Hotel Village is a four-star hotel village with apartments in Messonghi, a beach resort on the south-east coast of the island of Corfu in Greece. Messonghi lies about seventeen to twenty kilometres south of Corfu Town, along the stretch of coast that also includes Moraitika, and is known for its long, gently shelving beach, its shallow water and a main street of tavernas, cafes and shops. The Messonghi river reaches the sea here, bordered by reeds and farmland, giving the area a greener backdrop than some of the island's rockier resort strips. The hotel village format implies a group of buildings or apartment blocks set around shared grounds, a style that suits families and longer stays. Corfu International Airport is roughly 30 minutes away by road, and local buses connect the coast with Corfu Town and the southern villages. As a four-star, mid-range property the indicative May-October rates are about €110-240 per night. Listed amenities are air conditioning, wifi, a restaurant, a bar, a pool and breakfast, so guests can combine hotel meals with evening visits to the tavernas nearby. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-oriented, centred on the pool and the beach, with the practical convenience of apartment-style accommodation where families can store food, drinks and beach gear. Excursions from Messonghi include the capital's Old Town and fortresses, the Achilleion Palace, the Kanoni peninsula, boat trips toward Paxos and Antipaxos, and drives to the south of the island, such as the Corfu Lefkimmi salt pans, Kavos and the Corfu Trail walking routes. Watersports and sunbed rental are generally available on the beach in summer. The service character is that of a mainstream resort village: informal, family-friendly and suited to guests who want a self-contained base with good access to a lively but not overly urban seafront.
