Old & New Fortress
FUN-fact – Corfu is an island in the Ionian Sea and was considered the entryway to Venice because of its location. It was controlled by Venice from 1402 before a bunch of countries went back and forth for control over a 500 year period.
More FF – The old city became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007.More FF – Oktoberfest in Munich came to an end last night with 6.4 million people drinking 6.7 liter-sized steins of beer – more than twice the volume of an Olympic swimming pool.
