The best & nicest restaurants in Benissa

Benissa is een van de meest karakteristieke dorpen aan de Costa Blanca. De combinatie van het historische centrum en de bijzondere kustlijn maakt dit een unieke plek om te lunchen of dineren.

De smalle straatjes in het oude dorp zijn vooral in de avond erg sfeervol voor een diner. Zoek je liever de rust op met uitzicht op zee, dan zijn de terrassen bij de verschillende Cala’s een aanrader.
