Descrição
Sail along the coast of Corfu on a cruise inspired by the Durrell family. Enjoy a welcome drink on board as you pass by the city of Corfu town, the Mon Repos Palace, Mouse Island, and Vidos.
Embark on a cruise to see the filming locations of the popular TV series "The Durrells" and learn about the Durrell family. Sail past the city of Corfu, see the Mon Repos Palace, and visit the idyllic Mouse Island and the uninhabited island of Vidos.
Meet the crew and enjoy a welcome drink as you pass by the city of Corfu town with its remarkable pastel-colored 400-year-old Venetian houses and the old fortress. Learn about the Durrell family and their connection to Corfu.
Hear small excerpts from the Durrells’ books, such as Gerald Durrell’s “My Family and Other Animals” and “Birds, Beasts and Relatives” and Lawrence Durrell’s “Prospero’s Cell” as well as their family biography.
See all the spots where they filmed the scenes for the successful series “The Durrells” (prod. Christopher Hall, 2016-2019). Spot the elegant Mon Repos Palace, where Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband was born in 1921.
Reach the idyllic “Mouse Island” (Pontikonisi) with its white picturesque Greek Orthodox chapel “Vlacherna”- both serve as landmarks of Corfu island. Sail back and anchor at the beautiful uninhabited island of Vidos, where local fauna and flora exist untouched from humans.
Relax on board and listen to several short stories of the Durrells whilst sailing along the east coast towards the North. Come across the beautiful Venetian Villa in Kontokali, that served as the setting for the Durrells’ home in the series.
Spot yet another idyllic chapel, that of Saint Arsenius, a serene location that Larry & Nancy Durrell favored as a swimming spot. Arrive at the small village of Kalami, where you can have lunch at the famous White House, where Lawrence Durrell lived with his wife Nancy in the 1930s.
