The White House, Corfu – A Literary Haven Awaits

Nestled along the stunning coastline of Kalami, Corfu, the White House was once home to Lawrence Durrell, the renowned British writer and poet. This idyllic residence, perched at the water’s edge, inspired his work, including Prospero’s Cell, a poetic memoir of his time on the island.

Surrounded by the deep blue Ionian Sea and lush olive groves, the White House remains a symbol of artistic retreat and timeless beauty. This season, we look forward to welcoming visitors once again—whether for a meal by the sea, or a special event in this unforgettable setting.

Will you join us in experiencing Corfu’s magic?

📚 Step into the heart of literary history at the Museum of Cavafy, dedicated to the iconic Greek poet Constantine P. Cavafy. Nestled in the vibrant city of Alexandria, this museum preserves the life and work of one of the most influential figures of modern Greek poetry.

Beyond Cavafy's legacy, the museum offers a special nod to Lawrence Durrell's celebrated work, The Alexandria Quartet. Durrell’s masterpiece captures the essence of the city in its rich, multi-faceted glory, blending fiction and history. Seeing his books displayed here feels like a connection between two literary worlds inspired by Alexandria’s timeless charm.

Not just a book—it's an experience you have to immerse yourself in!

📚Myself and Other Animals is a new book mosaicked from unpublished autobiographies, uncollected pieces and previously published extracts from Durrell’s work and archives. The result is an extraordinary journey through Durrell’s life in his own words, edited and introduced by his widow Lee Durrell.

📚Drawing on a memoir that Durrell started writing before he became too ill to continue it, and an unfinished book from a trip to Australia in 1969 to the Great Barrier Reef, Northern Territory and Queensland, here is the unvarnished story of Durrell’s life, from touching family tributes to golden bats and pink pigeons.

📚Moving from India to England and then to the always sun-lit Corfu, told with dry wit and insight into our fellow animals, here is the vivid finale of one of Britain’s most beloved conservationists and prose stylists.
