Tatoi Palace. Tatoi ( Greek: Τατόι, pronounced [ta.ˈto.i]) was the summer palace and 42 km 2 (10,000 acres) 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.

Until the abolition of the monarchy in 1974, it was the official summer residence of the royal family, and witnessed many important events, such as the birth of George II in 1890 and Constantine I swearing in Eleftherios Venizelos' government in 1915.
