Achilleion

Achilleion Gastouri

This summer palace was built by Austrian Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria, and it was designed with the mythical hero Achilles as its theme. Just a few miles south of Corfu Town, Achilleion features a remarkable collection of paintings and statues dedicated to its Greek icon. The palace has a panoramic view of town and the Ionian sea from its hilltop perch.
