Durrell's bay, with the white house at the end of the pebbles

Kalami is a small bay on the northeast coast of Corfu, about 30 km from the town and 7 km from Kassiopi, between Agni and Kouloura. Its shore is a crescent of fine white pebbles, with green hills running down to the water.

At the northern end of the bay stands the White House, where the writer Lawrence Durrell lived with his wife Nancy in the late 1930s and wrote "Prospero's Cell", his book about Corfu. It now operates as a taverna with rooms, right on the water.

The bay is closed off by hills to the north and west and opens to the east and southeast, where the Corfu channel narrows and the Albanian coast lies about two kilometres away. Tavernas and bars operate along the shore, sunbeds and umbrellas are hired out in summer, and kayaks and small boats set off from here for the neighbouring coves.
