Kalami

Beaches · Corfu · ★★★★☆

A small green bay on the north-east coast with a shingle beach, clear water and Albania across the strait. At its far end stands the White House, Lawrence Durrell's home in the late 1930s and the setting of his book Prospero's Cell, now a taverna.

The nearest mapped car parks are 100 to 150 m from the sand, and a bus stop named Kalami is about 300 m away. The White House is about 150 m along the bay, past a few tavernas and bars. For a second swim, Kerasia is 1.4 km to the north, and the harbour of Agios Stefanos Sinion, 2.9 km away, makes a good stop for lunch.
