A 45-minute drive from central Athens, the Tatoi estate is hidden in the hills above the suburb of Varibobi, in the shadow of mighty Mount Parnitha to the west. The only way to get there is by car. Aim for Tatoiou Street and follow it all the way into the forest. There are two entrances to the estate: one just behind Leonidas Taverna (143 Tatoiou Street) and another that takes you more directly into the palace complex, but is not properly signposted. You’ll find it by following a small track leading from the parking area on Tatoiou, 300 metres before the Friends of the Forest building.
