Seems to be the main tourist attraction. Covers a large area but seems to be a bit over rated in my opinion. Decent views as you cross the water and look back at the headland. A couple of photos of the acropolis and the tower are worth taking , but climbing up to the top doesn't really add much value to your visit.

And that’s about it… Yes it’s an impressive fort, but lots of it is closed of and there might perhaps be some more informations about several of the rooms or historical events that happened there. I missed those I’m during our walkabout in the fort. On the other hand, entrance fee is €6 and kids are free so what’s there to expect. It’s definitely worth taking a look and the view is nice. Like others said, good shoes are a necessity as the stairs can be slippery (even in dry weather) and I wouldn’t recommend going here during or right after rainy weather. The cannons that are showcased and facts about them are impressive. But as said, some more context would be great.

Tickets are cheap which is a bonus! Adults €6 seniors €3 and children are free The fort itself is large lots of exploring and you can climb to the top. We went in October when it was mid 20’s. There is not really much shade so summer would be mega hot. We also ventured down to the base of the fort and sea level and our children had a dip in the sea ( along with some of the locals) Self led trip around the fort. Easy to mooch about and worth a look

Due to being late in the season the winds were gusting with sporadic rainfall, but we still had a very interest morning checking out this fortress. Took a break from the wind at half time and had a coffee in the on-site cafe to warm up. Lots of history attached to his site and well worth the visit..

So much to see and do, although there aren't many places to avoid the hot sun. There are lots of walls, gates and ramparts to explore, plus a museum and pleasant, shady cafe. However, the highlight is the panoramic view obtained from the top of the fortress, both of the town and also the mountains in Albania and on the Greek mainland. However, wear sensible shoes with grip because the stones on the way up are quite slippery.

Our second trip to Corfu and our first visit to the Old Fortress in Corfu Town. The Old Fortress didn't disappoint - great 360 views, even on a dull day and an easy route up to the top and back. We stopped for a couple of white coffees at the restaurant, expecting them to cost about the same as in town. No price list and charged over 9eu. for two average coffees in plastic disposable cups. When we queried the lack of a price list we were given a lame excuse by one of the staff. Wish we'd had a coffee elsewhere and not at the Old Fortress.

Well worth a visit. The views are outstanding. However, be aware there is a lot of uphill walking along uneven pathways and a number of steep steps. Once at the top the views are well worth the climb. People with walking difficuties might find this too much to manage. There is a cafe on the way up. During our visit the toilet was not available as they said there was no water. No other toilet available. Reduced entry rates for over 65's 3 euros per person 6 euros normal entry price.

We visited the Old Fortress as a family of three, with a 5 year old. We paid €12 entry for our group. There was a queue to enter but this queue moved quite quickly and it didn't feel overcrowded inside. Inside, we were surprised by how high up the lighthouse was but the route there was gradual (rather than intensely steep) and we all managed it without issue. There were other areas to explore which didn't have very clear paths, so they might be tricky for those with reduced mobility / mobility issues. We spent approximately 90 minutes exploring the different sections including the impressive church building, the small museum area and taking in the views out across Corfu Town. After walking to the highest point, in the midday sun, we visited the cafe for a cold drink. The prices in the cafe were quite high - they reminded us of the prices you pay at a British National Trust cafe. We paid €26.50 for two soft drinks, a bottle of water and two cakes. The outdoor seating area was shaded and had views out across the bay, which made it a nice spot to relax.

The views were amazing and very scenic, we stopped at the cafe on the way down which had a lovely backdrop. Well worth a visit, I would recommend wearing decent shoes as the steps can be quite slippery. Not an overly difficult climb & well worth it when you get to the top.

One of many highlights of a recent visit to Corfu was visits to the Old and New Forts. Each has its charms and offer spectacular views. Before crossing a moat at the Old Fort, you must pay your entrance fee that allows you to explore the different levels of this amazing complex. Once inside, head toward a series of stairs directly in front of you which take you to the next level. Here you can find and discover the complex of buildings that make up The Old Fort: a former military hospital, several barracks, an actual prison, a chapel and the imposing Greek styled temple, The Church of St. George. There is even an archival room which illustrates the complex history of this fort over the last 600 years. But despite the historical significance attributed to this fort, I do believe its primary attractions are the views which it offers from the lighthouse which sits at its summit. Follow a series of stone stairs through the Fort until you see a steps on the right heading up toward yet another level. If you take these steps (a rope is provided on your ascent to help you "pull yourself" up these slippery, well-worn stones) you will eventully pass the lighthouse on your left, and enter the very top of the Old Fort. Here you will be rewarded with those knock out views of Corfu. On the way down, don't miss out on visiting the "basin" of the fort where you can visit a small cafe for refreshments, plus admire yet another view of the old town.
