旧要塞とコルフ旧市街：歴史と文化

To visit Corfu and don't visit Mary the ultimate guide it's big loose. It was interesting wonderful tour.

The Fortress and Old Town tour with Corfuting was fantastic! Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. We learned so much not only about Corfu’s history and culture, but also about the best places to visit and things to do on the island. I’d also like to mention how thoughtful she was with my wife, who had recently had an accident and was experiencing pain in her leg. She couldn’t walk very quickly, but she adjusted the pace of the tour perfectly, making sure she was comfortable. Definitely one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

I went alone, downloading the app at the entrance and having already read about the history of this site. A nice walk that makes you realize the real dimensions, the context, and offers a different view of the bays and the city. If you have time, you can visit the historical archive and the library

Great tour! Our guide Magda was amazing! A must do to understand the history of Corfu.

interesting visit From the top you can see the whole city of Corfu Beautiful walk and the possibility of taking many panoramic photos

We visited the fortress during our stay in Corfu. From the outside, the bastions and the rock on which the fortress was built are striking. The interior does not disappoint; it can be fully visited, including the neoclassical Ionic Church of St. George with a single-nave interior. The view of the city and its melting pot of streets from the Cross is spectacular, allowing one to take in everything from the Greek mountains to the runway of the nearby airport.

It was so long with nothing hutbhistorical facts . Great your a history buff but we wanted to know what we were seeing not a history lesson with dates all over the place . And no tour of the fortress…. She k we nothing to share with us You can totally walk this town on your own and enjoy it. Here is the gist: it’s Venetian influence so it looks a lot like Venice . Saved you a bundle!

Located directly at the only affordable municipal parking lot, you can enter the fortress for €10 per person. Very important, sturdy footwear with tread is required if you want to go to the lighthouse. Two old cannons greet you right at the gate of the fortress. In the forecourt, there are the first impressions from the active period, but it is somewhat lacking. Only after climbing the stairs to the fortress plateau do you get a proper impression of the fortress. A huge mortar from the time facing the harbor, cannons are scattered around the area, all in top condition. From there, you walk past the prison, then past the bell tower, up to the old garrison building, the command center. The area there is closed due to structural instability. Now, there are some concrete steps leading up towards the lighthouse, until shortly after, the path consists of small upright stones as is common throughout Greece. Separated by a metal railing, the reason only becomes clear when descending, it continues laboriously upward. Finally arrived at the top, a magnificent view awaits in almost all directions, only limited by the lighthouse building. The descent is somewhat laborious and requires utmost concentration; the stones are mirror-smooth, you constantly slip, and keeping a hand on the railing and taking small steps is necessary until you reach the concrete steps. Otherwise, there is a small one-man lookout tower, hidden behind the house on the way to the bell tower, a small self-service bistro is located directly on the plateau with the cannons, and there is also a room in the gate passage with old original fragments; opposite is the souvenir shop. The restrooms are also located nearby.

We had a fantastic tour of the best of the old town and historic areas of Corfu including all the major sites. Our guide, Maria, was delightful, extremely knowledgeable, and tailored the tour to our interests. She is a local, and was able to add so much. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and made the best use of our time there with this outstanding tour.

Angela was a great guide thru the streets of Corfu and the Old Fortress. Knowledgeable and stopped in the shad wherever possible. And she left us with wonderful recommendations for a meal which proved to be excellent!!
