Hotel Corfu Maris

Hotel Corfu Maris in Benitses Corfu
Hotel Corfu Maris in Benitses Corfu

Perched right above the pebbled beach of Benitses, Corfu Maris Hotel brings together old-school hospitality and a clean, modern touch after its full renovation. Every room looks straight to the sea — that endless blue that seems to breathe right into the balconies.

Guests speak often of the kindness of Jenny and Yiorgos, the kind of hosts who remember your name, fix things before you ask, and send you off with local tips. The breakfast is generous and bright with fresh fruit and yogurt, while the private beach below the hotel keeps you close to the water all day.

Benitses village is a short walk away — tavernas, slow evenings, the sound of small boats rocking in the bay. The bus stop for Corfu Town is right outside if you want a day in the capital.

Not a luxury resort — but a clean, comfortable, well-priced stay where the sea is always the main character.

Pizza House Kavouras: Simply the Best Pizza in Corfu

The Pizzeria Kavouras is located on the main street of Benitses, across the north side of the harbor and right next to the pharmacy in Benitses.

It is a restaurant for pizza lovers and is specialized in Italian pizza type, the menu is dominated by many kinds of pizza and special pasta.

The dough is opened in front of the customer, the toppings are placed and pizza is baked in a wood oven situated between the tables.
Kavouras knows what to put in the dough, what and how much toppings will use, how warm the oven should be and how to cook.

The result, as all customers say is the best pizza in Corfu.

We have tried pizza in many parts of the world made by the best Italian Pizza Makers and we think that this expression is an injustice for this pizza, it is not just the best in Corfu but the best of all we tried.

If you love pizza, Kavouras is the best place to go! Great toppings, fantastically cooked, just wonderful! Not to forget the friendly environment and super low prices.. a definite MUST!

The restaurant is open during the summer season, usually from May to October and is always full.
Opening hours 7:00 pm until late.

Corfu of 1962 Through the Lens of British PATHE

Posted in: Corfu Videos 0

The Corfu land of 1962 as seen with the cameras of British Pathe, a famous film company that has left many documents from that era as well from the era during World War II.

Yes, in comparison with today Corfu was then a virgin island, both in the environment and on the character of the locals.
Most landscapes were not flattened by the “development” that mass tourism brought, and the mentality of Corfiots was not yet alienated by the illusion of easy money.

The Old men and the prickly pears (pavlosyka in Corfu) still here but the first spend their time in cafes, the difference is that at those times they remained active until their death.
Children no longer play with marbles and stones but with Smartphones, and the more affluent with iPhones, each season has its mark (and pays its price).
We were impressed by how nice the beach of Glyfada looked when it was … empty.

Photographic documents of those times, from any place, are very interesting.
Even if no spectacular at all, like the current videos are, (where everyone with the help of a high-resolution camera and a flying drone can deliver impressive images which tie you down), they are valuable through their simplicity, as well as something rare because only large movie companies had the technological capacity to carry them out.
