Wonderful building, the venetian turrets really give an air of immense grandeur! Gardens are lovely too and the view just tops off the experience.

We felt like we'd stepped back in time when we saw the roman fortress and stunning surroundings, but the western beach should be avoided at all costs if you want that idea to remain as it's pretty hideous there. But don't be put off, the rest of the village is lovely and we had a delicious traditional lunch before heading back to our hotel.

This lovely old fortress made a spectacular backdrop for the historical recreation (something to do with the occupation of Corfu by the Turks) we went to see there. Great show and wonderful place to go.

The Fortress is certainly worth the 4 euro fee and provided us with a welcome break from the beach for a morning. There are a selction of buildings to wander through, the majority of them were built by the British Army. There is a steep climb up to the top but the views are worth it. There is also a cafe in the Fortress to reward yourself with a cold drink.
