Located 12 kilometers from the center of Corfu, beside the southern coastline, is one of the most famous tourist resorts of the island as well as the Ionian Sea. Many Greek artists have sung and written about this traditional fishing village with its deep-rooted history. We are talking about the village of Benitses.
The seaside village of Benitses is one of the island's earliest tourist resorts, where people from all over the world have been choosing it for their holidays for decades. The reason? Because it exudes tranquility and an atmosphere of a different era; here, everything flows beautifully and quietly. Its location makes it privileged compared to other villages on the island, as it is nestled in lush greenery, while in front of it lies a stunning pebble beach, ideal for families and the elderly.
Nestled in the heart of the island, the quaint old quarter of the village is perched in a truly enchanting setting. It's cradled within a valley, beginning at the majestic Agioi Deka mountain, home to the source of the aqueduct. Meandering through the Stavros and Gastouri mountains, it finally opens up to embrace the sea.
Despite flourishing tourism over the years, the village has managed to retain its natural allure. Locals lovingly refer to it as Benitses, Benitsa in singular, or Binitsa, each name carrying its unique charm.
No matter the moniker, it remains a cherished gem, evoking a sense of pride in every Corfiot's heart. Imagine strolling through cobbled streets, surrounded by charming stone houses, with the scent of blossoms in the air. It's a place where time seems to slow down, and the beauty of nature takes center stage.

Thanks to its location, Benitses is the perfect destination for those who love hiking. In the mountains surrounding the village, adorned with dense vegetation, you'll find countless hiking trails waiting to be explored.
