One of the most beautiful architectural complexes is the Palace of Achillion. It was built in 1890 by the order of Amalia Elizabeth of Bavaria. This luxurious palace with large windows, tall columns and a snow-white façade has never ceased to amaze with its luxury for more than a hundred years. It was the favorite residence of the Austrian Empress, and after her death, the residence was taken over by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Currently, the palace is an interesting museum, which presents a rich collection of antique furniture, antique dishes and works of art. The palace is surrounded by a lush garden with palm trees and exotic plants.
Walks through the main cities of Corfu can be diversified with an exciting trip to the Island of Ponticonisi, which is known under the unofficial name Mouse Island, by many travelers. This unusual name of the island was due to its miniature size. Its entire territory can be walked on foot in just a few minutes. On the island, there is a small old castle. It literally drowns in the abundance of trees and plants.
The most romantic attraction on the island is the Love Channel, the so-called beautiful narrow bay with water of azure color, which is located near the beach of Sidari. In this bay, there is a small sandy beach, whose water is always very warm, even on the coldest days.
