Welcome to Benitses
Benitses lines the east coast of Corfu with clear Ionian water and a laid-back pace that suits slow mornings and long afternoons by the sea. It's a quieter alternative to the busier parts of the island, with fishing boats still working the harbour and tavernas serving fresh catch along the waterfront. Resorts in Benitses offer a comfortable base for exploring Corfu's villages, beaches, and forested interior.

The same magic that powers our flight search can also help you score incredible offers on room rates. Here are some handy tips to find the perfect place to stay and save in no time.
Book in advance
Book as early as you can to boost your chances of finding the right resort at a good price. This matters even more during busy travel periods like school breaks and major public events.
...Or bag a last-minute Benitses resort deal
While prices usually increase closer to your travel dates, some hotels discount their rates at the last minute to avoid having empty rooms. This generally happens more during low season.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
If your dates are flexible, compare different seasons or months to discover cheap resorts in Benitses. Weekdays are often lighter on your budget than weekends, so even minor changes can save you money.
Go all-inclusive
All-inclusive resorts in Benitses make things simple by bundling drinks, meals and activities into the room rate. They're worth considering if you plan to stay mostly in one place and want to keep daily costs predictable. Check availability for this type of stay before booking.

When to visit Benitses
High and low season in Benitses
Summer is the peak time to visit Benitses, with warm, sunny weather from June through August drawing the most visitors. The seafront is at its liveliest during this period, and the water is ideal for swimming. Accommodation fills up quickly in July and August, so securing your stay a few months in advance gives you more choice and often better rates.
Visiting in the shoulder months of May or early October means you still get plenty of sunshine with noticeably fewer crowds. Prices tend to be lower, and you'll find it easier to book accommodation at short notice. Some waterfront eateries and beach facilities may wind down by late October, so options can be more limited the later in the season you travel.
Benitses is a smaller destination, and detailed event listings can be hard to track down from outside the area. Greek Orthodox celebrations and local feast days occasionally bring community activity to the area, particularly in summer. Your best starting point is checking with local accommodation staff or a visitor information office once you arrive.
