Tour Plan :

            Depart the port of Corfu and take a drive in a deluxe Motorcoach to Achilleion. Upon arrival, leave your motorcoach and follow your guide to visit the famous Achillion Palace, which was constructed in 1892 for the Empress Elisabeth of Austria. This ill - fated Empress obsessed by the Greek hero, Achilles, commissioned a statue of Achilles " Dying ". In 1907, the Palace was bought by Kaiser William II of Germany, who erected a contrasting statue, of Achilles " Triumphant ". Today, both statues are still standing in the gardens. Continue your sightseeing tour through this beautiful and luscious island, driving past the Kaiser's Bridge to view, from a distance, the convent of Vlachernae the Mouse Island, the landmark of Corfu and Kanoni. A short photo stop will be made in order to take some pictures. On your way back to the port, stop in Corfu Town and visit on foot, the St. Spyridon Church, the patron saint of Corfu, or for those who would like, stroll through the numerous narrow balconied streets. Afterwards, return directly back to the ship.
