The stunning appearance of this stately palace takes the visitor back in history to when the palace was inhabited by two great figures from European history whose only common bond was their adoration for Corfu, Greece and its cultural figures, Empress Elisabeth of Austria (known as 'Sissi') and Kaiser William II of Germany. Wandering through the fabulous gardens, you will be taken on a trip through Greek mythology as you walk between the numerous statues of Greek historical figures, including the nine muses, Greek philosophers and of course Achilles – the hero of Greek mythology after whom the palace was named. Kanoni The location of Kanoni with the church of PanagiaVlacherna and Mouse Island (Pontikonissi), are the most famous and photographed spots of Corfu. Legend has it, that Mouse Island was formed when the ship that had taken Odysseus back to Ithaca, his home port, was turned into stone by Poseidon, God of the Sea, who was angry at being defied by the Phaeacians. You can often see an airplane landing and taking off from this spot, as the airport of Corfu is right next to the church.
