ACHILLEION PALACE (Palace of Sissy)
Located in Gastouri village 25 km from the Grecotel hotels, this luxurious villa was built for the Empress of Austria, Elisabeth von Wiltelsbach (more familiarly known as Sissy), by the Italian architect Raffaele Carito in 1892. Today the palace acts as a museum, whilst the stunning, colourful gardens that surround it feature prominent statues such as that of the dying Achilles.
