The Durrells

Greek locations used as sets for international movies have always witnessed a subsequent increase in foreign visitors - just think "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" (Cephalonia) or "Mamma Mia!" (Skiathos, Skopelos) - serving as a great boost for the tourism industry at those destinations.

Thousands of British will have the opportunity to watch and admire the beautiful landscape of the Greek island of Corfu on TV.

A new six part period drama will be filmed on Corfu island by ITV. The series is called “The Durrells” and is based on The Corfu Trilogy by Gerald Durrell who lived on the island from 1935-1939.
