Advantages: Those fantastic views. Disadvantages: Slippery when wet.
We visited the Achelleion Palace on Thursday 22 May as part of the Island Tour we had booked thru our Rep.
If staying in or near Corfu Town you can get there by Public Bus, check at Blue Bus Station in Corfu Town for times.
The day we visited it was pouring of rain so do not have any photos of gardens, and the trip around the Garden was brief, but even with limited Visability the views must be stunning, a reason to return.
Entrance to the Palace and Grounds is 7 Euros.
The Palace was built between 1890-1893 in the Pompeian style by Italian Cardilo for Empress of Austria Elizabeth.
You enter the entrance hall to be faced with a fantastic Stair case, also a beautiful painted ceiling.
The upper floors are private apartments so the Visit is of the Ground Floor only.
These rooms contain Pictures of the Empress, but are ...
Advantages: Beautiful rooms; Historical'; loads to see Disadvantages: Huge!!
Hampton Court Palace is about one of the 60 palaces built for King Henry VIII in about 1513. In my opinion, it must be the grandest and mightiest of all the Palaces with over 1100 rooms, acres upon acres of garden, mazes, tennis and bowling courts.
It is located next to the River Thames in London. It took me, my mum and step-dad just 1 1/2 to drive there from Portsmouth. The castle is relatively well signposted and it's mainly straight road and motor way with few confusing turn-off's but then again,this is only relavant from where I am travelling from. We passed through some lovely old villages on the way so the journey was pleasing. You can also catch the train of course - the station is basically right next to it!
When you arrive, there is a car park of which, you pay for on departing. It costs £3.50 for 3 hours and an extra 50p ...
Advantages: Clean, modern, fun slides, great day out Disadvantages: Not as large as I thought it would be
Myself and my boyfriend visited Tunisia in May 2008 and while we were there we decided to take a walk into the main town, where we found Acqua Palace.
About Acqua Palace
Acqua Palace as you would imagine, is a water park and it's the only water park in Port El Kantaoui. It was closed for a while in 2007 while renovation works were carried out and it opened its doors again for the summer season of 2008, boasting bigger, better and faster slides.
Location
Acqua Palace is located about a 5 minute walk from the main town of Port l Kantaoui. It is not very well signposted but we still found it very easy to find.
Prices
Admission was 15 dinars for adults which works out at £7.50. Prices for children were 7.50 dinars which is about £3.00. I thought the prices were very reasonable and although the park is not massive, I still ...
