Corfu Old Fortress Tour with Gourmet Snack Experience

Corfu Old Fortress Tour with Gourmet Snack Experience

Step into centuries of history with a guided visit to the Old Fortress of Corfu, one of the most formidable and well-preserved fortifications in Europe. Spanning 2,000 feet in length and 650 feet in width, the fortress dates back to the Byzantine era, with its most iconic structures built by the Venetians between 1402 and 1797.

Your walking tour explores key highlights within the fortress walls, including the Church of St. George, the only church in Greece constructed in Doric architectural style. As you navigate the cobbled paths and elevated viewpoints, your guide will share insights into the fortress’s strategic role in protecting the island from invaders for centuries.

After your historical immersion, unwind at the Corfu Sailing Club, tucked discreetly behind the fortress and known as one of the island’s best-kept secrets. In this serene waterfront setting, enjoy a gourmet Corfiot snack paired with a glass of vintage local wine, surrounded by views of the Ionian Sea.
