Achilleion is a palace erected by Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria, also known as Sisi. She was known for her obsession to beauty, yet her life was quite dramatic due to the death of her only son. The palace was built a year after the tragedy from 1889. The palace provides some amazing views, mostly over the northern part of the city and the southern part of the island. Its main theme floats around Achilles, a popular hero from the Greek mythology. Apart from the beautiful views and architecture, visitors can also admire a small museum inside the palace. It was featured in a James Bond film as well – For Your Eyes Only.
