Corfu & Achilleion Palace Tour

We start our tour passing through small half hidden villages among the olive groves and we will arrive to the pretty village of Gastouri which still retains some of the old world charm that inspired the Empress Elisabeth to build her dream Palace in the eighteen nineties. We walk through the romantic gardens with its many statues and flowering shrubs, which has little changed since the days when Empress Sissy roamed its paths alone.  Visit the chapel within the Palace and see a collection of souvenirs connected with Elisabeth of Austria and Emperor William of Germany who bought the Achillion in 1906.

Then we drive to Corfu town you where will enjoy the elegant architecture of the Palace of Saints George and Michael, the old Town Hall, the Liston in Esplanade square, the small squares and the two Venetian fortresses. In front of the old fortress, you will find the only Cricket field in Greece due to British influence.

You will have the chance to stroll around its narrow streets (kantounia),visit the Saint Spiridon church, do your shopping, relax drinking your coffee at the famous Liston where only the aristocrats where allowed to go.
