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!
