Kalami ResortKalami is a beautiful horse shoe bay of white pebbles shelving steeply into clear water, in the North-East of Corfu, 32 km from Corfu Town. It became famous from Lawrence Durrell's White House, a white two storied house on a rocky promontory that was for several years in the 1930's the home of the novelist and his wife Nancy. Lawrence Durrell (1912-1990) was one of the most important novelists of the twentieth century and wrote during his staying in Corfu the "Prospero's Cell". References about Kalami can also be found in Henry Miller's "The Colossus of Marousi", where the American novelist describes the few weeks he passed in the White House as Durrell's guest. Despite its fame and its development, this delightful small village retains a traditional and peaceful atmosphere and is recommended to anyone seeking for quiet holidays. The beach is mainly shingle with some sand at low water, and slopes into clear waters, ideal for snorkelling and swimming.
