There are four studios in total, all on the first floor: - two front facing towards Kalami Beach, numbers 5 & 6, and two rear facing studios with garden and mountain views, numbers 7 & 8. This simple block of studios is detached and offers an ideal base for a relaxing holiday by the sea with private balconies for al fresco meals, and unfussy accommodation for couples or families who wish to relax on a traditional Greek holiday. The owners are unobtrusive and live on the ground floor when they are not at work!

The separate shower room with corner shower tray, wc and washbasin is small but adequate. Twin beds, wardrobe, dressing table and private balcony with either sea or garden views, and a small table with two chairs complete each studio

Set on a beautiful bay and enclosed by verdant headlands, Kalami is a pleasant little resort, with the accent still very much on peace and relaxation.

All amenities including, supermarkets, beachside tavernas, boat hire and watersports are just a short walk away from your accommodation and shingle beach. The snorkellers paradise of Yialiskari Bay with its crystal clear waters is easily reached on foot and the “gourmet capital” of  Corfu, Agni Bay,  noted for its’ traditional Corfiot atmosphere and excellent seafood is a few minutes further along an easily walkable coastal path. Small Taxi boats meander in and out of the various bays ferrying diners between seaside tavernas in nearby resorts, a lovely way to sample local the cuisine!  

Kalami and many areas of Corfu are synonymous with the Durrell family, though it is a little surprising perhaps, that of  the two brothers, Lawrence (1912 – 1990) and Gerald (1925 – 1995), it was Gerald the naturalist rather than Lawrence, the poet who has so inextricably linked the family name with the island of Corfu.

Gerald’s’ love of animals became a passion during his period of residence in Corfu in the early 1930’s.  He was a prolific author, producing more than 35 informative, yet amusing books about animals and living creatures.  His best known book, My Family and Other Animals, has recently been re adapted for television and filmed on location here in the Kalami area on Corfu by the BBC.

Lawrence and his wife Nancy resided in the “White House”, on the seafront here in Kalami, originally a single storey fisherman’s cottage; a second storey was added at the Durrell’s request.  Nowadays the rooms where Lawrence wrote the renowned Prospero’s Cell have been converted into an apartment and the lower level is now a taverna.
