Imperial Heritage

Discover Corfu through a route that reveals the island’s historic character and cultural depth, beginning with a visit to Achilleion Palace, set on the green hills above the coast, a neoclassical residence built in the late 19th century for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as Sisi, inspired by Greek mythology and adorned with sculptures such as the iconic “Dying Achilles”, where you will move through its refined interiors and walk across its terraced gardens with open views over the Ionian Sea. The experience continues in Corfu Town, a vibrant setting shaped by Venetian, French, and British influences, where the Old Town unfolds through narrow cobblestone streets, elegant squares, and historic landmarks, including the Old and New Fortresses overlooking the sea, the Liston promenade with its characteristic arcades, and the Spianada square, one of the largest in Europe, surrounded by notable buildings such as the Palace of Saint Michael and Saint George, while the Church of Saint Spyridon stands as the island’s most important religious monument and the Museum of Asian Art adds a unique cultural dimension within the same historic setting, creating a complete introduction to the atmosphere, architecture, and heritage of Corfu.
