Very neat building, it's a lovely walk up to and around. And you cannot beat the views. The views from here seriously do not suck. More

Kids will love it, but keep an eye out on them as there are not many safety rails Wear comfotable solid shoes not flipflops!! You can climb over everything without much restriction. Take a cold drink. More

The views of the city from the new fort were incredible! I liked the tunnels and the different pathways; The history was a delight. My only complaint is bathrooms are advertised for the bottom (entry) of the fort and for the top of the fort. I figured I'd do my thing once I got to the top, but, alas; the... More

Great views of the old town and you can see Southern Albanian mountains in the distance with the cruise ships coming in and out of Corfu Harbour. It was 3 EUR per person. Has a cafe. Recommended place to visit for an hour. More
