Durrells Family: A Cinematic Corfu Private Tour

Perhaps the most iconic landscape of the series.
Vlacherna captures the light, serenity, and beauty that enchanted the Durrell family.
Scenes highlighting the island’s natural charm and gentle isolation were filmed here — the image of the tiny islet with its monastery became synonymous with the “Durrell’s paradise.”

With its imposing stone walls and panoramic views over the Ionian Sea, the Old Fortress offered the series a backdrop filled with drama and mystery.
Here, the Durrell children explored Corfu beyond the limits of their time — a symbol of freedom, adventure, and discovery.
At the same time, the site reflects centuries of strategic importance and cultural depth, making it one of Corfu’s most significant and unique historical landmarks.

Greenery, calm, and open horizons.
Boschetto and Mandraki became the setting for scenes of strolling, reflection, and tender family moments.
Here, the Durrells shared quiet humour, peace, and simple joys — landscapes that capture their deep connection to nature and the beauty of everyday simplicity.

The drinks that coloured the sweetest moments of Louisa and Spiros
Sit at a traditional café hidden within the kantounia, where time slows — just like in the quietest scenes of the series.
Enjoy a Greek coffee brewed over hot sand, the drink that accompanied Louisa’s moments of reflection, or choose a refreshing homemade lemonade that evokes the warmth and simplicity of her encounters with Spiros.
A small ritual of calm and nostalgia, just as the Durrells lived it in Corfu.

With its British grandeur and marble halls, the Palace hosted scenes that revealed the family’s more “Victorian” and refined side.
Moments shared between Lawrence and his mother, surrounded by columns and portraits, create an atmosphere of cultured elegance and gentle nostalgia.

Bell towers, incense, and candlelight frame scenes of faith and daily life.
Here, Louisa Durrell gained a deeper understanding of local traditions, celebrations, and the rhythms of the community that welcomed her family.
A spiritual setting that reflects the soul of the city.

An authentic 1930s residence with a stone courtyard and sea view became the setting for the family’s most intimate moments.
This is where the tender scenes between Louisa and the doctor were filmed — moments of love, loss, and quiet transformation.
