NORTH-EAST CORFU: LEGACY & LIFESTYLE

The northeast stretch of Corfu is more than just scenic coastline — it’s a magnet for legacy investors, artists, and international elites.

  • Since the early 20th century, the Rothschild family’s presence on Corfu — including a long-held villa in Kerasia — has lent prestige to the area. Their estate has drawn royals and dignitaries to its grounds.  
  • The area is often nicknamed “Kensington-on-Sea” due to its association with upper-class British families, luxury homes, and privacy-minded retreats.  
  • In the 1930s, the Durrell family moved from England to Corfu, drawn to its nature and lifestyle. Gerald Durrell’s writings (e.g. My Family and Other Animals) immortalize Corfu’s charm and contributed to global romanticization of the island.  
  • Today, many properties in Kassiopi, Kalami, Avlaki, and the hills above retain that heritage — owners who fall in love with Corfu and invest not just for profit but for a lifetime of returns: beauty, peace, legacy.

 

Why this matters for us and for you:

  • You’re not just buying land or a villa — you’re joining a history of discerning ownership and prestige.
  • You’ll be in neighborhoods that already attract appreciation, cachet, and long-term value.
  • You’ll live or offer stays in places that people talk about — not just for their views, but for their story.
