What are people saying about Achilleion Palace

Mark_M, Oct 2026

Do Not Hesitate

Spirotholous was a very knowledgeable guide. She avoided the crowds by starting earlier than the cruise ship tours (avoid the flag-following tours)! Our visit to Acchilleon Palace was great, the gardens and statuary beautiful, the views awesome. The walking tour of Old Town more crowded, but navigated us very easily through the streets/alleys pointing out interesting sights. Ended the tour with free time with coffee and baklava by the St. George Arch.

Must do.

This was a great way to see Corfu and become familiar with some of the island. It was a greatest hits but it was able to give us the high lights so we know where we want to come spend more time at. Our guide was so knowledgeable and great with kids. We had a wonderful time.
