Moraitis made his Greek League debut with AEK, in a win against Nea Kifissia, on November 21, 2015. He scored his first points in the Greek League, in a game against Rethymno Cretan Kings, on March 11, 2016, but his team lost the game, 70–69. After the departure of Taurean Green from AEK, due to an episode he had with the team's head coach, Jure Zdovc, during a 2016 Greek League playoffs game against Olympiacos, Moraitis gained some more playing time.

On July 23, 2021, Moraitis signed a two-year deal with Peristeri.[8] During the 2021-22 campaign, in a total of 21 league games, he averaged 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals, playing around 23 minutes per contest. On July 1, 2022, Moraitis signed a new two-year contract with the club through 2024, playing under head coach Vassilis Spanoulis. In 32 league games, he averaged 7.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists, playing around 18 minutes per contest. On June 21, 2023, Moraitis amicably parted ways with Peristeri.
