The Durrell Spot

⚪Step into the world of The Durrells and explore Corfu through the stories of Gerald and Lawrence Durrell!

Inspired by their books, My Family and Other Animals and Prospero's Cell, our office/shop brings their adventures to life with experiences that celebrate the charm and beauty of Corfu.

What we offer:
📖 Guided tours of the island’s most enchanting spots, as seen in the books.
📚Explore Corfu’s landscapes, history, and wildlife through the Durrells’ eyes.
📝Discover the magic that inspired their unforgettable stories.

📚Myself and Other Animals is a new book mosaicked from unpublished autobiographies, uncollected pieces and previously published extracts from Durrell’s work and archives.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.
