Location
Conveniently located at Tsaki, near Benitses village, almost in the middle of the east coast of Corfu, with easy access both to Corfu town and to some of the most beautiful beaches of the southern part of the island
Nearest beach
The nearest beach is the coastline right in front of the villa and it is actually the continuation of Benitses beach. You can either reach it by walking 250m along the main road or you can take a shortcut, which includes walking through an abandoned hotel. It’s a shorter, but more adventurous walk, people will hate it or love it. It is a very long, but narrow beach, with pebbles and natural shadow after 13.00. The sea is clean and usually very calm. It is possible to find a place there to be alone, even in the peak of the season. We love going there, we suggest that you check it on your first day and see if it works for you.
Nearest town
The nearest town, with many bars, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and beaches, is the village of Benitses, at 2km away, a former fishing village and tourist resort, with a beautiful and well-preserved part of the old village that is worth visiting.
Transportation
About getting around, hiring cars is one option that will of course give you a lot of independence, especially if exploring as many aspects of the island as possible is on your to-do-list. You may though also find interesting to know that many of our guests choose not to hire cars, as they find it quite convenient to move around by bus. There are two buses that stop just a few footsteps away. The blue bus will take you directly to Benitses and to Corfu town. The green bus will take you to the nearby village of Moraitika and to some of the most beautiful beaches of the southern part of the island. The buses stop by around every 45’. And if you would like to take a different route, you can always get a taxi or rent a car for the day.
Bonus fact
There is a nice restaurant called "Arokaria" just around the corner. They serve a variety of local dishes, they also serve breakfast upon request and they deliver to the villa. The restaurant offers a 10% discount to our guests.
