The Achilleion Palace
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Corfu

The Achilleion Palace

4.3
4.0/5
6 reviews
The Achilleion Palace is located on the island of Corfu in northwestern Greece. It was a summer palace commissioned by Empress Elisabeth of Austria between 1889–1891 and named after her favorite Greek mythological hero, Achilles. The beautiful white palace is nestled among lush greenery. Inside, paintings and sculptures depicting Achilles and scenes from the Trojan War can be found everywhere, and nine statues of the Muses stand on either side of the back garden. Stepping into this space feels like entering a garden of the gods from Greek mythology—it is truly romantic.Achilleion · 2.4km from Benitses

The existence of the old castle is a symbol of Venice's occupation of this place. Entering from the right is the Church of Santa Maria. The entire building is built by the sea, very magnificent, and the layout is also very clever.Corfu · 9.1km from Benitses

New Castle is close to the port of Corfu Island. Climbing to the top, you can see the ships entering and leaving the port, as well as the islands and mountains in the distance. It is an ideal place to overlook the city.Corfu · 9.1km from Benitses

The Achillion Palace was built in 1890 as the palace of Empress Elizabeth of Austria (Princess Sissi) on Corfu Island. It was used as her summer resort. After Princess Sissi was assassinated in 1898, it was sold to Emperor Whilhelm II of Germany.

This place is really worth visiting! It was built by the Venetians who occupied Corfu in the 16th century. It was the ancient city of Corfu before. After it was destroyed, the Venetians built this military fortress. From the castle, you can see the panoramic view of Corfu City opposite and the beautiful blue coast of the Mediterranean Sea! Beautiful!
