Castles & monuments · Corfu · ★★★★★
The Venetian fortress on the twin-peaked headland that gave Corfu its name: cross the moat to the church of Saint George, built like a Greek temple, then climb to the top for the widest view over the town. A state site with a ticket; little shade.
Allow about an hour, and in summer go early or late: the climb to the top is open to the sun, so take water and a hat. There are toilets near the entrance. Buses stop at the Upper Square, about 250 m away, and the Liston's cafés are 300 m back across the Spianada.
