Situated on the east coast just outside Corfu town, Benitses has two faces that exist together in perfect harmony. It has both old-world charm and an energetic holiday life. Benitses life is centered in the village square. There is a selection of bars
and tavernas which cater for every taste. By day, Benitses reverts to its former role as a centre for the local fishing industry.
A perfect time to indulge in the 'catch of the day' or a seafood meze served in selection of continental restaurants in Benitses.

The pretty cottages behind the tree lined harbour square have been tastefully converted into eating establishments and apartments with the multi-coloured fishing caiques provinding a picturesque focus from the scene. Benitses is 30 km away from Corfu's liveliest party resort of Kavos in south. In Benitses tourism pre-dates fishing is a way of life. There is a historical evidence to suggest that Benitses was a holiday centre as far back as the Roman times. Behind the harbour square you
can find the remains of a bathhouse of this period with an intact archway and a fragment of mosaic floor. Behind the old village of Benitses you can find another curiosity the waterworks built in the last century by the British to supply Corfu Town.
