Explore the Old Fortress
Corfu Town, Greece
Crossing the sea moat into the Old Fortress feels like leaving the town for a separate world of stone walls and military architecture. Venetian defences, later barracks and the church of Saint George reveal successive chapters of Corfu’s history. The climb to the highest point adds a clear view of the relationship between town and sea. Allow time for both the structures and the outlook, with sturdy shoes for the uneven surfaces and an unhurried ascent.
