Amazing day at the old fortress

#ancientbuildings During my summer vacation, I had the chance to explore the Old Fortress of Corfu, and it was a fantastic experience! 🏰🌿 Located on the eastern side of Corfu Town, the fortress is easily accessible and offers stunning views of the Ionian Sea. The entrance fee was about €8, which felt like a bargain given the rich history and panoramic vistas. Walking through the fortress, I was struck by its impressive architecture and the sense of history that permeates every corner. The well-preserved walls and the various exhibits, including historical cannons and old maps, provided a deep dive into Corfu’s past. The climb to the top of the fortress was well worth it for the breathtaking views of the city and coastline. 🌅🗺️ After exploring the fortress, I wandered around Corfu Town, which is full of charming streets, vibrant markets, and cozy cafés. I enjoyed a relaxing lunch at a local taverna where I tried some delicious Greek dishes. 🍽️🍇 The Old Fortress of Corfu is a must-see for anyone visiting the island, offering both historical intrigue and beautiful scenery. #trip #oldfortresscorfu #corfuisland #historicalsites #travelgreece #scenicviews
