Your fascinating day of touring begins with a visit to the Achillion Palace, built by Queen Sissy of Austria at the end of the 19th century. The Empress's obsession with Greek mythology influenced the architecture and decoration of the palace, which is built in neo-classical style and has elements of Ionic, Roman, and Aeolic styles. Its gardens are decorated by numerous sculptures and have stunning views of the island.
Next, we'll explore Corfu Town. A short, guided tour around the center of town features an exceptional mixture of architecture influenced by four great civilizations. Notable sites include the Old Fortress, New Fortress, famous Liston Street, the Royal Palace, and, of course, Saint Spyridon church, named after the patron saint of the island.
