"Achilleon Palace is the pearl of Corfu" is written on every website about Corfu and in every travel guide... I don't know about the "pearl", but the palace really makes an impression and certainly deserves the attention of every guest of Corfu... As everyone knows, the palace was built at the end of the XIX century for Empress Elizabeth of Austria-Hungary, she is also known to everyone as Sissi... Her fate is sad, in fact, as is the fate of the palace before, during and after the two world wars... Since the mid-eighties of the twentieth century, the palace has returned to the ownership of the Greek state… Now the Palace is a very good Greek historical museum
