Property for sale in Benitses, Corfu

Benitses is an old fishing village on Corfu's east coast, about twenty minutes south of the town and the airport, where a harbour and a line of tavernas sit below steep, wooded slopes and the Achilleion palace stands in the hills above at Gastouri. It had a loud reputation as a resort in the 1980s and has since gone quiet. It suits buyers who want a village with a harbour close to town.

The village

The old core is a few lanes of houses running back from the harbour, with the newer village strung along the coast road on either side. The slopes behind rise sharply to Gastouri and the Achilleion, built for the Empress Elisabeth of Austria and later owned by Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the road along the coast continues south to Moraitika. A small marina was inaugurated in 2021 as an extension of the fishing harbour.
