Corfu
Kassiopi & North-East Corfu

Olive-grove villas, pebble coves and proper restaurants — the "Durrells" coast.
The north-east stretch from Kassiopi through Agni and Kalami to Nissaki — where The Durrells was filmed and where wealthy Brits buy villas. Boat-based, low-key, no nightclubs, brilliant tavernas hidden in coves. Albania looms across a 2km channel.
