The Stairway at the Achilleion
The Achilleion is a palace built in Gastouri, Corfu by Empress (German: Kaiserin) of Austria Elisabeth of Bavaria, also known as Sissi). Elisabeth was a woman obsessed with beauty, and very powerful. She built this summer palace in 1890 about ten kilometres south of the city of Corfu. The palace was designed with the mythical hero Achilles as its central theme. Corfu was Elizabeth's favourite vacation place and she built the palace because she admired Greece and its language and culture. Achilleion's location provides a panoramic view of Corfu city to the north, and across the whole southern part of the island.

wow, what a ceiling once again! gemütlich is… som'n else! ; ) it's beautiful of course, but in its cumbersome pomp also quite crushing! a walk up those stairs will turn anyone into a king or queen! but gee, it must take guts and morale to pass between those regal pillars and stern-faced statues! and sissi… well… she wasn't the stablest bulb in the chandelier, was she? nowhere near the kini, of course, ; )) but a little unstable nonetheless… great shot once again, adele! and really interesting, too, with a nostalgic "ring" to it! hugs, sabine.----------------------------------------------------------------------
