Locations

Corfu with Mandy Baggott
Visit Greece/Corfu
Kalami
Andras’s restaurant in the book, Georgiou’s Taverna was inspired by Thomas’s Taverna on the beach of Kalami with a dash of Nikolas’s Taverna in the neighbouring bay of Agni. Many a home-cooked dish was eaten, along with copper flagons full of wine and Greek delicacies ending in the letter ‘a’, in the name of research.
Kassiopi
Another location in the novel and you have to go and see the harbour!
Nissaki
On one of the boat trips Andras takes Sonya and Tess on, they sail down the coast to Nissaki
Agios Spyridon
Something very special happens here. It’s a lovely village to wander around
Paleokastritsa
The women visit the monastery at Paleokastritsa in the novel. Mandy wore clothes over her clothes just like Tess in the book
