In a small northeastern corner of Corfu lies the beautiful little bay of Kalami. Steep olive and cypress wooded slopes sweep down to meet the blue Ionian sea and Grecian style villas, resplendent in bougainvillaea and plumbago, mingle between the trees. Old and new fuse together in what was once a fishing village but is now a haven for those seeking tranquillity and solace. Fishing boats and yachts anchor in its bay while the well-heeled and the once-a-year traveller find common ground amid its charm and serenity. Unlikely friendships are bonded over carafes of retsina and Greek hospitality among the three tavernas hugging the small beach. Laughter and amity are the order of the day here. After just a short time you're not just staying in Kalami, you become part of it. Its beauty, its charm, its quietude seeps into your being, bringing you back time after time.
