Arriving in Corfu
The old fortress from the ship, as you can see it is quite a hike to the top
The town as you come along the waterside
The Old Fortress of Corfu is one of the most impressive fortification works in Europe. It is the first thing to see as the ferry approaches Corfu. It stands on the eastern side of the town, on a rocky peninsula that gets into the sea. This fortress was also built to protect the town from enemies and pirates.
The entrance across the bridge, bit like a moat really as it is surrounded by water
This is looking left and right from the bridge
Walking through the tunnel
The grounds down the bottom
This is the old cannon looking across to the water
The church of Saint George, built by the Venetians as an ancient temple.
There is a cafe there, where we sat and admired the water views, so beautiful
Starting the climb to the top
This is finally from the top, such amazing views
Just like a post card, the water is so blue
Looking across the walls at the top, what a climb
Looking into the harbour
Looking down on the town
And of course the ship in the distance
Now we are at the top
Coming down again
