Villa Euclea looks straight down over Kalami bay — the very cove Lawrence Durrell made famous, where the White House sits "set like a dice on a rock" at the water's edge and For Your Eyes Only was filmed a generation later. Four bedrooms sleep eight, and the house is built for a family that wants to actually do things: an infinity pool over the bay, a gym, a hot tub and a table-tennis table alongside the view. Kalami is the literary, sheltered heart of the north-east — a horseshoe of green hills around brilliant blue water, with tavernas on the shingle and the neighbouring bays of Yialiskari and Kouloura a stroll or a swim away. At around €530 a night it is one of the coast's best-value family houses in a setting most guests recognise before they arrive.
The villa
Four bedrooms sleeping eight, with an infinity pool angled over Kalami bay and a genuine set of family amenities — gym, hot tub and table tennis — that lift it above the standard villa.
It is comfortable, well-equipped and family-minded rather than minimalist, and at roughly €530 a night it is priced to be one of the sensible-value choices on the coast.
The setting
Kalami is a secluded, hill-wrapped bay on the quiet north-east coast, best known as Durrell's — the White House where he and Nancy lived in the 1930s still stands on the point, now part-taverna, part-museum.
The bay was also a location for the 1981 Bond film For Your Eyes Only and The Greek Tycoon; it is green, sheltered and unusually calm.
Dining & on the water
Kalami's own tavernas line the shingle, the White House among them for a meal with the literary history attached. Next door, sandy Yialiskari sits beneath dramatic rock, and Kouloura's Byzantine harbour — one of the most photographed spots on Corfu — is the next bay along.
An evening boat taxi runs to Agni's three tavernas for about €5 a head, one of the great north-east dinners.
