Benitses
It is an old traditional village that practiced and still exerts a strange attraction to visitors, perhaps because of its location between the green mountains and the sea, perhaps because of the strong preference shown to it by famous visitors of the past, the intense nightlife of the past decades, its history for hundreds of years but also the unchanging physiognomy of the landscape. In the summer of 2021, the Marina of Benitses was inaugurated, which means a lot to the area. It can accommodate 86 boats, while it marks the great tourist development from now on.

Corfu Old Town
The Old Town is completely enclosed by the walls of its two fortresses, the Old at the Eastern end and the New at the North and West. It is therefore also called Kastropoli and is the only one of its kind in Greece. The Venetian character of Corfu remains unchanged due to the preservation of almost all the buildings of Italian architecture that are scattered everywhere. Corfu is a city of replica of Venice, with tall buildings separated by cantons and narrow streets, without of course the canals.
