Serviced Apartments in Benitses

The former fishing village of Benitses is set amidst wooded hills on Corfu’s east coast, just eight miles from the capital, Corfu town (Kerkyra). While Benitses used to be a popular holiday resort for the young, it now offers a quieter, more relaxed ambiance suited to couples.

Benitses retains its traditional village architecture; its whitewashed houses covered in flowers are a picturesque wonder to tourists young and old staying in Benitses apartment rentals. Local fishermen remain at work at the harbour.

The crystal clear waters of Benitses beaches enhance the village and provide a focal point for tourists on holiday here. Benitses beaches consist of pebbles, shingle and some sand. They tend to descend quite rapidly into the sea, rendering them suited to adults, rather than children. Such is the high quality of the beaches they have been awarded an EU Blue Flag.

Benitses beaches are popular for the wide array of water sports they offer. Jetties and platforms have been built specifically for this purpose. Jet skiing and snorkelling is popular. The harbour is equipped a range of modern facilities and local companies offer boat trips from here.

While staying in Benitses holiday rentals, you may wish to visit the Sea Shell Museum of Corfu which houses rare seashells from across the globe. The museum is located just outside of the village. Another popular attraction, some three kilometres from Benitses is the renowned Achilleion Museum (Sisi's Palace). If you wish to explore ancient Greece closer to your Benitses aparthotels, the village’s Roman villa and baths will provide you with a taste of history.
