The Ionian Islands region


Corfu is part of the Ionian Islands, "gr.Heptanisos", a group of seven isles endowed with stunning natural beauty and very mild climate, stretching from the northwest coast of Greece all the way to the south of the Peloponnese peninsula.
Due to their strategic geographic location they soon became a meeting point for the civilizations of three continents, a fact clearly evident in the unique mixture of architectural styles, food and local customs. The inhabitants are cheerful, hospitable and love music and dancing. Even the most demanding holidaymaker is sure to leave with the best of impressions from the Ionian Islands!
The Corfu / Benitses area
Corfu, the legendary "Island of the Phaecians" and the second largest of the Ionians, is undoubtedly one of the most captivating holiday destinations in Greece, a place imbued with important history and myth alike. From antiquity through the 20th century, a multitude of conquerors have laid claim on Corfu for its strategic maritime location. The result is a beautiful mixture and layering of Russian, Venetian, British, German and classical Greek architecture, which is set in a backdrop of wonderful natural beauty. Corfu Town, the capital of the prefecture and home to 45.000 people, is undeniably one of the most cosmopolitan places in Greece, a cultural crossroad throughout its entire history with such significant sites as the Liston, the Esplanade Square, The Old Fortress, The New Fortress, The Palace of St. Michael and George, the Museum of Asian Art etc.
Benitses is an idyllic villages nestled among mountains and sea. If you want to explore the Emerald Island then our village is an excellent starting point for delightful excursions to the scenic North and South of Corfu, but also to its West where you can enjoy golden, sandy beaches and romantic sunsets. A number of principal historical sights are at a nearby distance from the Village with Achillion the neoclassical palace turned museum being the most prominent of all. If on the other hand you are not as keen on exploring the natural scenery of our village then avail yourself of its modern day facilities punctuated by the Yachting marina with a capacity to harbor 100 sailing boats, numerous restaurants, bars and cafes. Essential services include a local police station, a pharmacy, a number of mini-markets and two outpatient clinics. Benitses is ideally suited for family vacations. It is unlikely elsewhere in Corfu to come across a village having simultaneously a sizeable square, a nice playground for your children to play safely and accessible, pebbled "Blue Flag" beaches.

With our 4-year-old and 1-year-old, we stayed at Eli Marina's apartments for a week. The staff is very welcoming and you get the feeling that you are staying with friends. The kiddie pool saved us as we also enjoyed the pool area. There are numerous restaurants nearby and a car rental place within walking distance. The beach nearby is pebbly, but we got a car and headed to sandy beaches as well as saw all the sites on the island. The apartment was equipped with AC in one of the rooms. The area is floral and well kept. My only suggestion would be to install screens on the windows to guard against the most cunning mosquitoes we have ever encountered. We would certainly return to Eli Marina if we again were drawn to the island of Corfu. |

"Dear Elli,
Thanks for giving us such a great time here on Corfu. You and your staff gave us such a warm feeling as if we were at home. Your daughter Clairie was the little pearl for our daughters.

"We had a fantastic time at "Elli-Marina Apartments and Studios". We definitely want to come back next year. The owners are amongst the friendliest people we have encountered in our lives! Our kids, Alice and Steven, had an absolute blast at the Barracuda swimming pool. Facilities were always very clean, the village of Benitses and Corfu -Town are very close. " Mr and Mrs Baker, Manchester UK, summer of 2007.
