Tatoi Palace

  Tatoi Palace sits in the outskirts of Athens, specifically in the Kifisia district, nestled against the scenic slopes of Mount Parnitha. Constructed in the late 19th century, it served as the summer residence for the Greek royal family until the monarchy's abolition in 1973. Today, the palace is notable for its beautifully maintained gardens and surrounding forest, which covers approximately 4,500 acres, attracting nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Visitors can stroll through the serene grounds, exploring the historic architecture and the remnants of royal life, especially stunning in the spring months when the gardens burst with color. As you wander, keep an eye out for the diverse flora, including oak and pine trees, which provide shade and a backdrop to this intriguing site.
