Kassiopi, Agni & Kalami — a Northeast Corfu Boat Day
Cypress coves, boat-in tavernas and Durrell's bay

Cypress coves, boat-in tavernas and Durrell's bay
Corfu's northeast coast is a string of cypress-backed coves — Kassiopi, Avlaki, Kalami, Kouloura, Agni — sheltered from the prevailing wind and best seen from the water. A private boat day drifts between them: a morning swim in a quiet cove, a long lunch at one of the famous boat-in tavernas at Agni, and an afternoon at Durrell's Kalami, the White House on its rock.
From Kassiopi harbour you run south past Avlaki's windsurf bay and Kouloura's tiny Byzantine harbour, anchoring for a first swim in clear, deep water off the rocks. Lunch is the point: Agni's three tavernas — Toula's, Nikolas, Taverna Agni — sit side by side on the shingle, and the boat ties up to the pier for a table over the water.
The afternoon takes in Kalami, where Lawrence Durrell wrote Prospero's Cell in the White House on the point, before an easy return north.
A self-drive day boat (no licence needed for the smaller engines) or a skippered day boat from Kassiopi harbour — the concierge sets it up and books the taverna table. Short hops, sheltered water, no hurry.
Rates on request — every day is quoted individually by our concierge.
