You might be free to visit today, but New Fortress wasn't always so welcoming! Discover the story behind this mighty stronghold and exactly what it was designed to defend.

New Fortress is a great place to begin exploring Old Town Corfu. This history-filled fortress is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Dassia Beach, Aqualand, and Pelekas Beach to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

The entire experience was wonderful, the staff was so helpful, Lucia checked us in and was so welcoming. The manager Tasos helped us with everything and offered true hospitality. Breakfast was delicious, the rooms and view were beautiful and the location was excellent. Truly enjoyed our visit, would love to go back
