    What you will do

    • New Fortress of Corfu

      Our tour begins from nearby the New Fortress of Corfu town which is a Venetian fortress built on the hill of St. Mark in Corfu in stages, at the beginning of 16th century. The current buildings which exist within the fortress were built by the British during their rule of the island (1815–63).

      The Venetian fortifications were later expanded by the British and the French to help defend against a possible Ottoman attack.
