Un po' di storia
A testament to a bygone era, the Achilleion Palace is one of Corfu’s most popular attractions for a reason. It was built by Empress of Sisi of Austria in the 1890s after a family tragedy as a retreat where she hoped to find comfort and solace. Inside, you’ll find mementos of her life in elegant reception rooms. But the star of the show is the lavishly decorated staircase in a hallway adorned with scenes from ancient Greece. Outside, the classical-inspired gardens are studded with statues and cypresses. The grounds also offer panoramic views over Corfu town, the coastline and even mainland Greece. After Sisi’s death, Germany’s last kaiser bought the palace and his legacy lives on in the tiny strip beach below the palace named after him.
