Keep reading to discover more secrets and reasons why you should include Benitses on your travel list.<\/p>\n<h2>Where does the Name Benitses come from?<\/h2>\n<p>Since the 13th century, the area was known as <strong>Penitisai<\/strong>, a term derived from the Ancient Greek word &#8220;<strong>Penio<\/strong>,&#8221; signifying a place with rivers and abundant water.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Benitses was once abundant in water, with two small rivers flowing into the sea where the current harbor is located.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the name Penitisai evolved into <strong>Penitsai<\/strong> and eventually into the present-day <strong>Benitses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The official name of the village is Benitses in the plural form, as it denotes a collection of settlements or regions.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Benitses or Mpenitses is essentially the same place but written in a slightly different way.<\/p>\n<p>Locals, however, commonly refer to the village in the singular as Benitsa (<strong>Mpenitsa<\/strong>) or Binitsa (<strong>Mpinitsa<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Various name variations may be encountered, potentially confusing visitors. Nevertheless, regardless of the variation used, it all refers to the same location.<\/p>\n<h2>How big is Benitses? The 5 settlements<\/h2>\n<p>The village comprises five distinct settlements:<\/p>\n<div class=\"narrow-box\">\n<ol>\n<li>The traditional part, known as <strong>Panochori<\/strong>, is situated between the mountains, earning its name, which translates to &#8220;<strong>the upper village<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Another settlement, <strong>Vaska<\/strong> (reservoir), is located around the aqueduct at an altitude of 50-60 meters on the slopes of Agioi Deka mountain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skaloma<\/strong>, the settlement around the old port, serves as the current commercial center of the village, hosting a concentration of shops and restaurants. Here is the Northern bay with the Yachting port.<\/li>\n<li>The village expanded to the south, encompassing the fourth settlement known as Chontrakia or Kontrakia, situated along the main road to Lefkimi. Here lies another bay that is sometimes confused by old visitors with the bay of the port, but the two bays are almost a mile apart.<br \/>\nBenitses has two bays: the port is to the north in the Skaloma area, and the old (abandoned now) nightclubs are in the southern bay named Koutsomaroula.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the <strong>Tsaki<\/strong> area represents the southernmost and last settlement, marking the end of Benitses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"JCzEY ZwRhJd\"><span class=\"CSkcDe\">Benitses <\/span><\/span>Friendly Residents<\/h2>\n<p>One of the village&#8217;s most endearing qualities is its residents&#8217; warm and welcoming nature.<\/p>\n<p>The village is home to a population of 1,000 souls, known for their friendliness and hospitality, with a significant portion engaged in the tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the villagers were involved in traditional occupations such as fishing, olive cultivation, and citrus fruit farming.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in the past, the mountainside of the village hosted the operation of watermills that produced flour.<\/p>\n<p>While traditional activities have evolved, some, like fishing, are experiencing a revival, particularly during the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>The area maintains a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other. This sense of community extends to visitors, who are treated with genuine hospitality and friendliness.<\/p>\n<p>As you explore the village and interact with the locals, you&#8217;ll find that this isn&#8217;t just a vacation spot; it&#8217;s a place where you can connect with the heart and soul of Corfu.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you need recommendations for the best restaurants, hidden gems to explore, or simply a friendly chat, the people of Benitses are more than happy to assist.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get from Benitses to Corfu old town?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6374\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 1140px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6374\" src=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-1140x534.jpg\" alt=\"Corfu town from top of mountain\" width=\"1140\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-1140x534.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-700x328.jpg 700w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-1536x720.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-386x181.jpg 386w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-780x366.jpg 780w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-1170x548.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-600x281.jpg 600w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-1024x480.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-24x11.jpg 24w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-36x17.jpg 36w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-48x23.jpg 48w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-1706x800.jpg 1706w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top-853x400.jpg 853w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/corfu-from-top.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Corfu town from the top of the mountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the advantages of staying in Benitses is its proximity to Corfu Town; it&#8217;s only 8 miles away.

Additionally, it provides oxygen and serves as valuable shelter and food for small fish.<\/p>\n<p>Posidonia is largely responsible for the delicious seafood available and contributes to the overall purity of the water.<\/p>\n<p>While Posidonia meadows appear green, their leaves turn a dark brown color as they age.<\/p>\n<p>These leaves eventually separate from the plant and, aided by tides, wash up on beaches. However, after winter storms, the beaches are meticulously cleaned, providing visitors with a beautifully pristine environment to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that Posidonia is not seaweed, as some mistakenly believe, but rather a valuable marine plant that grows, blooms, and multiplies similarly to terrestrial plants. Its primary threats include trawlers, intensive fishing, and human ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>A flourishing presence of Posidonia indicates a clean sea and a well-balanced environment, as it thrives only in the purest waters of the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n<h3>6.
