Kalami Holidays

Kalami is a small and friendly village-based resort that makes the most of its unspoilt surroundings. With the Gulf of Corfu on its doorstep and a backdrop of olive and cypress trees, it is in one of the most scenic bays in Corfu. Located 6km southwest of Kassiopi, Kalami is an idyllic escape with strong Greek influence, attracting couples and families wishing to kick back and soak up the sun. It is famous for being a temporary home to the writer Lawrence Durrell, who wrote 'Prospero's Cell' while staying in the White House here.

Kalami offers a lovely beach with even lovelier views. There are good general facilities on the beach, but the watersports are limited and this may not be the resort for you if activity is a high priority. However, all the essentials for a convenient holiday are available - there are shops selling necessities and souvenirs and restaurants with varied menus. Nightlife consists more of a good meal than a good dance, although it's close enough to other resorts to take advantage of their bars and discos.

Holidays to Kalami are about unwinding. Holidays to Kalami are about catching a glimpse of a way of life that has all but disappeared in this busy, loud and booming commercial world. Holidays in Kalami are about the very reason you decided to go on holiday in the first place! Holidays in Kalami are relaxing.

As you approach this charming, unspoiled fragment of the old Corfu you have a sense that you're about to enter somewhere special. You may even ask yourself if it's real, or is it a masterful reconstruction designed to attract tourists? Be assured that the village nestling beside warm shingle, strung in a crescent between magnificent headlands, is indeed the real deal.

Wander through the maze of tiny streets, past an irresistible jumble of multi-coloured pastel houses and you will find yourself wondering if you could up sticks and move here. Why not, the writer Lawrence Durrell did.

Explore the possibilities on last minute holidays to Kalami and you'll find yourself staying in villas like Anastasia and Jasmin or apartments like Adonis or Stratigos. You be lunching on freshly caught, char-grilled fish at a local taberna overlooking the sea. You'll walk out of the village, camera in hand, through fragrant ancient olive groves. You'll shop for Corfiot lacework and colourful ceramics. You'll hop on water taxis to Agni beach. You'll rent boats and find your own, private coves. Above all, on summer holidays to Kalami, you'll unwind.
