The Achilleion Palace

What a wonderful place. If you are a fan of history and architecture you will love this place ! As for today you can't enter the palace due to restoration. Its still worth it though 😌 ✨️ Magestic you can see Corfu, Greece and Albania from up there

A pleasant palace and gardens with great views to Corfu Town, but it's small and you can't go in the house, so it can be a long way to come for half an hour taking pictures. You can reach here by car or bus. There's a small car park nearby but the roads are very challenging - narrow, windy and lots of reversing. The bus from Corfu Town takes a looping route, meaning it starts and ends in the town. To get back, get on the bus in the same direction you arrived. I think Google maps says to change somewhere, but it's the same bus.

Nice gardens, spectacular views and the gardens refurbishment is looking good. The building is not much more than 100 years old and is currently closed. The building must have looked impressive in it's heyday but has been neglected for a long time so is in a really poor state of repair. I felt quite sad to see it like this and expect a lot of time, money and skill will be needed to bring it back to it's former glory. Worth a visit but manage your expectations accordingly.

Unfortunately the Palace itself was closed for renovations during our visit. However, we were able to explore the grounds which are beautiful and have amazing views. Disappointing we had to pay full entry fee for half of the experience.

I recommend having a tour guide give you the history of this place. The statues around the villa are awesome. Give yourself an hour maybe a little more to go through this site.

Beautiful palace but it is very poorly maintained. They said renovations have been ongoing since the end of 2021 and will continue for the next couple of years so we couldn’t go inside. I wish they had at least manicured the gardens a little.

The garden was beautiful. Unfortunately the place is closed due to refurbishment. But there are couple of screens set up around the gardens where you can watch history of Sissi. You have to go and see massive statue of Achilles with a stunning view that will leave you speechless. Tickets for adult was €7 (only garden)

Beautiful location with imposing statues. The interior was closed at the time of our visit but I enjoyed seeing just the gardens for a slightly reduced fee.
