Idyllic Corfu Village Steals The Limelight In New BBC Drama
Corfu, a stunning Greek island, is featured in a new 6-part BBC drama series being aired in the UK. The show is called Durrells and is based on Gerald Durrell’s trilogy of Corfu memories.
 
Keeley Hawes, also seen in Spooks and Line of Duty, is the leading actress in this drama series. The best beaches like Palaiokastrisa, Agios Georgias, and Achilles, as well as Danilia, a traditional Corfu village, are all captured on screen.

The village of Danilia is owned by one of Greece’s most luxurious hotel groups and hopes Durrells will inspire people to go on holidays in Corfu. They are even offering hotel packages to celebrate the new drama, which will include a complimentary private tour of the village.

Corfu has also been the location for James Bonds’ For Your Eyes Only.
