Achilleion Museum

The palace erected in the classical style, others call neoclassical, and still others Teutonic, surrounded by a magnificent garden descending into the sea.

The palace is one of the most popular and, of course, the most beautiful monuments on the entire island of Corfu and it should not be omitted if you want to visit the “pearls” of the island.

It is an object with fairy-tale views of the bay, full of figures, paintings, sunk in green, but it gives the feeling of overload and reloading with excess decoration. It simply subtracts the lightness of the natural forms here. But it’s still worth visiting this place because of its amazingness.
