Why did The Durrells choose Corfu?

He is best known for the four novels that make up his Alexandria Quartet, and was considered for a Nobel Prize. He's also the reason the Durrells moved to Corfu: friends of his relocated there from England, and he and his new wife decided to follow them, convincing his mother to follow suit with his siblings.

Why did The Durrells have to leave Greece?
