Frederika:
that photo of tatoi is very out dated in freddie's book she talked about it saying it was badly dameged during WWII and was rebuillt it now looks nothing like the photo Tatoi is now a nature park the greek government said they had given it to the public but the eastait is out of bouns to the people an has been abandond for decades it has really been left to ruit it looks sad to see it now. the had other palaces the first was built for king othon and is now the greek parlement ( it has not been used as a palace since othon). the royal palace in Athens is now the presedents residence. paul and freddie had a villa in psyciko i (think thats the name) it is now the italian embasy there was a hunting lodge some were also. they had a holiday home called Mon ripos on corfu which the major asked the islanders to storm it in 1994 most of its contence was stollen its now a musem. Freddie had to villas buillt for her one on rodes the other on zante she allso asked the government for and was given a monastrie some were.
Eurohistory:
The Nicholas Palace was built for Helen and Nicholas as a present from Tsar Nicholas II. after the family left Greece in 1917 it was rented out to a hotel as an annex and then later on the fmaily reoccupied it, eventually selling it to the Italian government. I was there last june and it is in great condition.
Tatoi is in high state of disrepair, sadly.
