Corfu Benitses Guide
Benitses is one of the original holiday resorts of Corfu, and is also a very old village, proud of its traditions. The original part lies in a beautiful location in the middle of a green valley that sweeps down to the sea and has kept its natural beauty intact despite the intense activity and large touristic development since mass tourism started in the 1960s.
It is an idyllic place, with a great future, that every visitor to Corfu will want to discover, and share with their friends..
