Corfu Greece

photos and tip for visiting Corfu Greece

Corfu's New Fortress actually dates back as far as 1576, and is an excellent place to visit with kids, with cellars and dungeons that are intriguingly spooky, and make a cool retreat on a hot day.  

Look closely at the wall just under the flag, and see the Lion of Venice: the New Fort was built during the Venetian's 400-year reign over Corfu. 

The New Fort has a gallery with interesting artifacts, and a cafe. On summer evenings, occasional concerts are held-- kids welcome, of course.
