the Achilleion Palace.
Yes, as in Achilles from the Greek mythology.
And yes, as in the part Brad Pitt played in Troy. Yum.
The palace was owned by the Empress of Austria Elisabeth of Bavaria,
also known as Sissi, and became her favorite vacation house.
Elisabeth was a woman obsessed with beauty, and therefore took a keen
liking towards the mythical hero Achilles, and, almost in an obsessive
manner, dedicated this house to him.
I loved the decorated ceilings of the house, as well as the breathtaking
garden surrounding the property.
The casino scene of the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only (1981)
was filmed at the Achilleion.
Greece greetings,
