• Enter from Lefka for the palace and historic center, since the Varybombi entrance (behind Leonidas Restaurant) is a long way from them
• Buildings from outside only, as the palace and most historic buildings are closed for restoration by the Ministry of Culture
• Open sunrise to sunset, so plan an early start on short winter days

Once the summer retreat of the Greek royal family, Tatoi is a protected forest of Aleppo pines, cypresses and plane trees, with 40 historic buildings spread across the grounds.

Kids can walk, bike or picnic on the trails, see the palace from outside, visit the royal cemetery, or head to the artificial Kithara lake for a view over the whole Attica basin.
