Benitses area maps
Benitses map
Here is the map of Benitses with all details and all roads
Benitses village as the Benitses map shows has it’s north limit at the junction of highway Lefkimis and the Corfu-Achilleion Street and ends at south in Tsaki area where the Achilles hotel is situated.
Crossed as shown on the map by the coastal highway, there are some cross-streets leading to the old village, to the mountain villages of Stavros, Agioi Deka, and Gastouri.
The road that leads to Stavros village starts from a point at Chontrakia region, it is extremely steep for the first 2 km, winding and narrow, but then things get better and only the turns remain.
There is another road that starts from the entrance of the old village, crossing and passing beside the aqueduct where is divided into two paths, the left path leads to the mountain village of Agioi Deka and the right to also mountain village of Gastouri, it reaches Gastouri at the building of Philharmonic society.
This road, especially the track which passes through the old village of Benitses is a problem.
The road width does not exceed 2.5 meters and passes between adjacent houses, so if two cars are meet one should make back even 500 meters.
Countless cars have left their footprints on the walls of houses, in a corner a metal bumper is placed to protect the building.
During the summer with the increased traffic where foreign visitors do not know the street narrowness, the situation becomes grotesque if not unacceptable, it is a road difficult even for pedestrians.
In some electronic navigators, this path is indicated as the main road, this is wrong and needs to change.
The mountain roads from Benitses to Agioi Deka and Gastouri are extremely narrow and dangerous, they are used with great care and only in case of emergency, they are offered only to serve traffic between the inhabitants of the three villages, and only for this purpose.

Coronavirus Live: Breaking news, world Map and live counter on confirmed and recovered cases.
In the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, China, a series of cases of pneumonia occurred.
On January 9, 2020, the Chinese health authorities announced that it is a new coronavirus strain (2019-nCoV).
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that usually cause respiratory infections of varying severity in humans and animals. It is estimated that about a third of upper respiratory infections in humans can be caused by coronaviruses.
The Greek Organization of Public Health (EODY) has been monitoring developments from the beginning and is in constant contact with both the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
EODY(Greek Organization of Public Health) remains vigilant about possible cases of the disease in travelers while it has already issued and systematically updated information material and specialized instructions.
Data, Breaking news, a World Map, and a live counter on confirmed and recovered cases are found in the sources below.
The disease caused by the new Coronavirus was named COVID-19 and despite early predictions, within a short time, it spread beyond the borders of China, around the world.
The disease is very easily transmitted through the respiratory tract, even by asymptomatic patients who are in the incubation stage that lasts several days, and this makes it very dangerous.
It is transmitted by droplets emitted from the nose or mouth of asymptomatic carriers but also by objects that they have touched or had any contact with them.
The symptoms in the vast majority of cases can vary from very mild to none, with exceptions, but for the elderly, those over 65, and various vulnerable groups with underlying chronic diseases, such as heart problems, diabetes, hypertension, and many other chronic autoimmune diseases can be very serious, with severe pneumonia that can lead to death.
Incidents involving organs infected such as the heart, kidneys, stomach, brain, etc. have also been reported.
So far the data shows an alarming mortality rate of around 5% which is much higher than that of the common flu and from what we initially thought.
Since there is no specific drug or vaccine against coronavirus, the only defense we have at the moment is complete self-isolation and lockdown in entire areas or even countries and states.
Also to keep our immunity system and defenses in good shape by getting plenty of rest and eating well.
It is important to follow strict hygiene rules, such as frequent and thorough washing of hands with soap and water for more than 20 seconds, avoiding any kind of congruence with other people, and keeping a distance from everyone, of at least two meters.
The use of gloves and masks is essential for those who know how to use them properly, improper use of masks can be very dangerous as it can help the contamination instead of protecting, so the instructions for their use vary from country to country and are conflicting.
Currently, the epidemic is at its peak, and the entire planet, especially Europe and North America, where the epicenter of the pandemic is, is in lockdown with almost all economic activities locked up.
The health and humanitarian consequences are devastating and well-known, we see them every day with tens of thousands of deaths.
But the economic consequences that will follow will be frightening, they will even test the existence of some countries, unemployment, and recession will reach unprecedented levels much higher than those of the 2008 crisis, but they still cannot be accurately calculated now.
Especially the tourism sector has been destroyed, with airlines and travel agencies going bankrupt.
The absence of the tourism product for 2020 is the strongest blow for Greece since tourism accounts for 25% of GDP and essentially feeds the Greek economy.
The priority at the moment though is to tackle the pandemic with health systems around the world fighting the toughest.
Health systems that, due to neoliberal policies, are proving to be insufficient with understaffed personnel and shortages of basic medical supplies, therefore unable to deal with all cases that have serious complications of the disease.
This is not the time to blame responsibility, they will be blamed after the pandemic.
Two conclusions are definite.
The first is that humanity will survive, an effective cure and later a vaccine will be found sooner or later.
The second is that the world after this shock will never be the same, how different and in what way it remains to be seen.
Mental health issues due to the pandemic
The coronavirus might affect not only your physical well-being but also your mental health. As we might be instructed to stay home due to the pandemic, the mental health symptoms might worsen.
This is a useful guide to improving mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please keep in your thoughts those who are affected by this unfortunate outbreak.
The disease caused by the new Coronavirus was named COVID-19 and despite early predictions, within a short time, it spread beyond the borders of China, around the world.

It shows the entire area of Benitses almost from Koutsomaroula bay up to Laopetra, seems to been pulled from the base of the then old pier in the harbor.
So thanks to Mr. Alan Walker who took it and kept it on traditional paper in a long frame it can be preserved forever, it is the old memory of a village a little different and certainly more picturesque and beautiful.
The photo was given by Mr. Alan Walker to Argo pool restaurant bar, then to Takis Kontos of Cultural Association in May 2013, Takis brought us the frame yesterday and today is already ready for all of you to see.
A big Thanks to Cultural association and Takis especially for their trust, this photo belongs to local residents, and the watermark is there only for protection reasons as always, also includes both websites.
We have the photograph at a much higher resolution and available to everyone.
Benitses – the port area at 1981
Below there is a similar picture from May 2012, but from another angle, from the exact spot where the top of the old pier was and therefore the village seems further away …
But anyone can send some conclusions, we do not express any opinion but simply only present and leave the conclusions for you.
Benitses was the first tourist destination on Corfu since the 1960s. But why you should visit Benitses now? We give you at least 6 good reasons to do it!
This Benitses picture of 1981 shows the entire area of Benitses almost from Koutsomaroula bay up to Laopetra, seems to been pulled from the base of the then old pier in the harbor
Benitses has some very old and beautiful buildings, some of them more than 5 centuries old. We tried to collect as many information we could about the most important of them
We see below some pictures – maquettes from the square in Benitses.
It is about the complete rehabilitation of the existing internal road with a pedestrian square
Many of you simply know me as Coronavirus. So yes. I’m SARS-CoV-2 and this is my message to Humanity.
I am the enemy of your vanity!
Forgive me for not informing you in a timely manner, but I know when I will arrive, in what form and with what power I will hit you.
Why am I here?
Let’s say I’m here because I’m tired of seeing you go backward instead of progressing.
I was tired of seeing you constantly being destroyed by your own hands.
I’m tired of the way you treat and destroy your planet.
I am tired of your incomprehensible obsession with everlasting growth, growth at the expense of the environment, depletion of the planet’s natural resources, and excessive carbon dioxide that disrupt the climate and cause natural disasters.
I’m tired of the way you treat each other.
I’m tired of your abuses, the violence you carry out, the wars, your interpersonal conflicts, and your superstitions.
I’m tired of seeing you being jealous of social looks, your skills, your hypocrisy, and your selfishness.
I’m tired of the little time you spend with your families.
I’m tired of the lack of attention for your children. I’m tired of how shallow you are.
I’m tired of the importance you often give to superficial things at the expense of the important.
I’m tired of your pathetic and endless search for the best dress, the latest smartphone model, and the most expensive car just to satisfy your vanity.
I’m tired of your scams. I’m tired of the propaganda in your media. I’m tired of the insufficient time you spend to communicate with each other.
I am tired of your constant complaints while doing absolutely nothing to improve your lives. I’m tired of seeing you in disagreements and bickering over trivial occasions.
I am tired of the constant skirmishes between those who govern you, I am tired of your wrong choices of those who govern you.
I am tired of seeing people muttering and even killing for a football match.
I know … I’ll be tough with you. Maybe more than enough, but I don’t stand out.
I’m a virus.
My action will cost you lives, many lives, cause I want you to understand once and for all that you have to change course … For your own good.
The message I have to give you is simple.
I wanted to emphasize that the society you have created is wrong, so you must change it.
I wanted to pause everything to force you to understand that the only important thing you have to deal with your soul from here and onwards is the following: Human and life. Yours and your children’s.
And that they really need to be protected, embraced, and shared.
I wanted you as confined and isolated as possible in your homes, away from parents, grandparents, children, and grandchildren.
To be able to understand how important a hug is, a human contact, a conversation, a handshake, a night out with friends, a walk, a dinner in a restaurant, a run in the park in the open.
From these images, everything has to start all over again.
Bring down racism, divisions between you, ignore the religions that fuel hate and wars, let go of stupid nationalisms, I had shown you that you are all the same, still not seeing it?
Do not discriminate between you.
Respect the planet that hosts you, the resources it provides are more than enough, and surplus for you to live all rich, share the wealth of the earth, I will not forgive you next time unless you take away the wealth of the few to share it with you all.
You will have no other chance if I find humanity again with children starving and dying, with innocents being killed in futile wars, with uprooted refugees looking for a new home, with homeless people, with starving people, with exploitation, misery, and social inequality.
The wealth that your work generates should not be concentrated in the hands of the few but used to protect the planet and the lives of yours and all other species, to provide everyone with a comfortable life without anxiety and uncertainty about the future, to be channeled into scientific research on cures for serious diseases rather than weapons of death and destruction.
You are the rulers of the planet and you must take care to keep it alive.
I have shown you that there are no distances. Although so small and invisible I traveled thousands of miles and I am everywhere in no time.
I am a passerby, but the feelings of solidarity and cooperation that I have created in your hearts in a short period of time should last forever.
Live your life in a simpler way, Walk. Breathe free. Help those in need because the goodwill always is returned to you.
Enjoy and respect nature.
Do whatever please you and fill you up and create the conditions that will allow you not to be afraid for the future.
I’ll stay with you as long as needed, When you start the celebrations it will be because I’ve gone.
But remember, don’t try to be better people only as long as I am present because I will come back mutated and stronger.
Bye”.
