Touche Finale at Tatoi Palace
Tatoi was the summer palace and 42 km² estate of the former Greek Royal Family. The area is a densely wooded southeast-facing slope of Mount Parnitha, and its ancient and current official name is Dekeleia.
King George I of the Hellenes obtained the estate during the 1880s, purchasing it with private funds he had brought from Denmark. In 1916, during the First World War, the house was burned down.
In the 1920s, most of the estate was stolen from its owners, but in 1936 it was returned to King George II of the Hellenes.
During the Second World War, when the King was in exile and Greeks suffered considerable hardships under German occupation, the woods at Tatoi were chopped down for fuel and corpses were buried in shallow graves.
