9Explore the Old and New Fortresses
Towering above Corfu Town, the Old Fortress offers sweeping views over the Ionian Sea and the red-tiled rooftops below.
Built by the Venetians, it tells the story of Corfu’s strategic importance over centuries of invasions. The New Fortress, less visited but equally impressive, provides a quieter experience and fantastic photo opportunities. Together, they offer deep insight into the island’s defensive past and multicultural heritage.
