Nestled on the eastern coast of the verdant island of Corfu, this UNESCO World Heritage site boasts a unique blend of architectural styles, reflecting its rich past and the various cultures that have left their mark on its enchanting streets.

Nestled amidst the lush, sun-drenched hills of Corfu's northeastern coast lies a charming villa that has captured the hearts of television viewers across the globe. Known as the Durrells' House, this delightful abode serves as the primary filming location for the beloved British television series, "The Durrells in Corfu." Based on Gerald Durrell's autobiographical books, the show follows the adventures of the Durrell family as they embark on a new life on the enchanting Greek island in the 1930s.

The villa chosen for the series, known locally as "The White House," is a beautiful, two-story building that perfectly encapsulates the spirit and charm of Corfu during that era. Painted in a crisp white hue with contrasting blue shutters and terracotta roof tiles, the house exudes a quintessential Mediterranean ambiance. Surrounded by a lush garden filled with fragrant flowers, olive trees, and vibrant bougainvillea, the property offers a serene oasis that harkens back to a simpler time.

At a height of 25 meters, the lighthouse's beacon illuminates the surrounding waters, serving as a guiding light for ships and an alluring sight for visitors.

History buffs will appreciate the role the Peristeres Lighthouse played in the maritime navigation of the Ionian Sea throughout the years. Erected during the period of British rule, the lighthouse has been meticulously maintained and remains fully operational to this day. As you explore the lighthouse grounds, you can imagine the lives of the lighthouse keepers who once called this remote location their home, tending to the beacon that guided countless ships to safety.
