Do you recall the memorable scene when Margo Durrell decided to catch some sun under a shrine, much to the shock and disapproval of a young priest? That scene unfolded on the Mouse Island.
Nestled on the Kanoni Peninsula, Mouse Island is globally renowned and owes its popularity to its unique shape, resembling a mouse! The surrounding natural beauty is simply breathtaking, and the hilltop monastery provides sweeping vistas across the peninsula, making it an ideal setting for filming. Therefore, it’s no wonder that it was selected as a filming site for the Durrells series!
To the south of the city center, you’ll find the magnificent Mon Repos Palace, known to fans of the series as the residence of Countess Mavrodaki. This impressive neoclassical building, which now operates as an archaeological museum, has an intriguing history; it once served as the summer getaway for the Greek royal family, including Prince Philip. A testament to both love and conflict, the palace has witnessed many a historical event.
Constructed in 1831 under the guidance of British architect Whitmore, the palace was originally intended as a summer home for English Commissioner Frederic Adam. The inspiration behind this grandeur was none other than his beloved Corfu sweetheart, Nina Palatianou, who fantasized about a quiet palace in the countryside. Interestingly,. . .
