Kalami and Agni, the Durrells' bays

Kalami is a pebble bay in the north-east, with cypress trees running down to the water. In 1935 the writer Lawrence Durrell and his wife rented the White House here, right on the sea, and his younger brother Gerald wrote about the island's wildlife in My Family and Other Animals. Today the White House is a taverna. A short walk or boat ride south is Agni, a smaller cove with three well-known tavernas on its shore. Both are made for long lunches by the water.
