Feel like a royal at Achillion Palace

Achillion Palace is arguably one of the most popular attractions in Corfu. It is located 10 km away from Corfu Town at the mountainous Gastouri village and used to belong to the Empress of Austria Elizabeth, also known as Sissy. Sissy loved Greek Mythology, which you can tell from the palace’s design and decoration. She, herself, decorated the palace with statues of ancient philosophers, ancient Greek muses, and, of course, her favorite ancient Greek hero, Achilleas. The palace is surrounded by an exotic garden, which is embellished with many kinds of trees, flowers, fountains, and statues.
