Gastouri
Traditional Village and the Home of Achilleion
ABOUT
Gastouri is part of Central Corfu. A traditional central Corfu village best known as the location of the Achilleion Palace and surrounded by green countryside.
Gastouri is a traditional inland village best known as the location of the Achilleion Palace. Green hills and residential streets give the area a very different atmosphere from the nearby coastal resorts.
Most visitors come for the palace and combine it with a wider central Corfu drive, but the village itself also offers an opportunity to see more of inland island life. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in history & culture, traditional villages, sightseeing and exploring by car.
Getting there and practical information
Gastouri is served by Corfu City Bus line 10 and is only a short drive inland from Benitses. Street parking is available and there is also parking near the Achilleion area, making it straightforward to combine the village with the palace and east-coast sights.
