Highlights
The history of Corfu Town is intricately linked with its fortifications, and the offshore island of Vidos played a pivotal role in this regard. Just five minutes by boat from the port, Vidos is now a protected wildlife sanctuary. However, in the past, it was home to three major fortresses, the remains of which still stand today. Embark on a walking tour around the island to explore the ancient walls, picturesque beaches, and other hidden gems while delving into its rich history and its significance in protecting Corfu. In the island's enchanting forests, you may even come across pheasants, peacocks, and wild rabbits. There is a snack bar open on the island. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks, especially if you plan to spend time on the beaches.

Itinerary
When you visit the Mausoleum dedicated to the fallen Serbian soldiers, you will feel a deep sense of honour for those who gave their lives in WW1. Inside, you will encounter a shrine devoted to thousands of unknown soldiers, along with individual caskets of those who were known.
This ancient fortress, although in ruins, still guards a hidden secret waiting for you to discover during our tour.
Take your time during the walk to swim in the crystal-clear waters off Tramoudana beach. You'll find a peaceful beach, as not many tourists know about it. Bring your swimwear and some food and drinks, and just relax in the tranquillity of this area. It's a nice little beach where the crystal-clear water and small stones create a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Despite the lack of facilities, the sight of wildlife will add an element of charm to the experience.
Take a moment to pause and embrace the haunting beauty of Fort Wellington's ruins as our guide shares its captivating history and points out the visible remnants. From the top, our guide will immerse you in its fascinating past, while down below, you can step into one of the prison cells and feel what it was like centuries ago for those who were held captive.

About Corfu
Corfu is a green Ionian island off north-west Greece, with a Venetian old town, olive groves, rocky coves and a taste of French and British history.
Corfu Town, on the east coast, is listed by UNESCO for its Venetian, French and British layers, with narrow lanes of tall pastel houses between two Venetian fortresses. The Liston arcade, modelled on a Parisian street, runs along the Spianada, a huge square where cricket is still played, and the old British palace there now holds a museum of Asian art. The tiny islet of Vlacherna and Pontikonisi, Mouse Island, sit off the airport runway.
