Danilia Village: A Step Back in Time

Danilia Village is more than just a museum; it's a living testament to Corfu's rich cultural heritage. Constructed in the 1970s by the Bouas family, the village replicates the architecture and atmosphere of a traditional 1930s Corfiot settlement, almost destroyed by an earthquake in the 1950s. The Bouas family built the vast complex to conserve the island's customs and traditions. As you enter Danilia Village, you're transported to a bygone era, with its narrow cobblestone streets, stone houses, and colorful shutters. Explore the village squares, a beautiful church, traditional shops, and the Corfu Folklore Museum, which showcases the island's customs and traditions. The village has two open-air village squares, a traditional café, a large open-air tavern and the largest indoor tavern on Corfu Island. Danilia Village has also gained international recognition as a filming location. It has served as a set for the James Bond film 'For Your Eyes Only' and the popular ITV series 'The Durrells'. The village is owned by Grecotel and is used for events, celebrations and marriages.
