7The Achilleion Palace
Built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria (more commonly known as Sisi) in the late 19th century, the Achilleion Palace is one of Corfu’s most iconic landmarks. Perched on a hill overlooking the sea, the palace is adorned with neoclassical statues and frescoes depicting scenes from Greek mythology. Visitors can explore the palace’s opulent rooms, stroll through the manicured gardens, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
