Greek Royal Palaces and Residences

[stef]

in 2003, The Goverment said that it would restaured and in 2004 and in 05(they spoke about one Hotel, museum..), 06, and 07!!!!!!!,08,09...to 2012, I think that it will be sold or similar but no restaured. During 10 years I have read it(museum, hotel....) .The future of Tatoi is uncertain, this is reality

Letting the former royal family buy it is out of the question I suppose?

today , I have read this news in one newspaper of the 3 november
Tatoi has been transferred to the Privatization Fund .this is the beginning of the process to be sold by the state

[Al_bina]

It would be interesting to see who buys it.

[susan alicia]

a foundation could buy it and the former greek royals could rent it (if impossible to buy directly)

[stef]

Before. I had doubts about the news, but now, it is clear will be sold in 2013, the government expects to raise a lot of money. What will happen to the cemetery?.

It's sad, Tatoi undoubtedly holds a great deal of memories and history for the Greek royal family. Is it completely out of the picture for Constantine (or anyone else from the family) to be able to buy it?

That's odd because i just learnt that thousands of objects have been cataloged in order to open a museum inside the former palace :

Whoever the buyer is they are pretty much just buying the land. The buildings are largely in ruin and uninhabitable. They would likely have to tear them down and start over if they wanted a home on the estate. It would certainly be faster and cheaper than trying to restore what is on the land now.

I would hope if its bought that its treated as a historic building and not torn down but lovingly restored.

[susan alicia]

that must be so, that is its main value, hope the greek ex royal family buy it

I wonder if that could happen?
It would be nice,but not sure how well it would go down in Greece?

[Artemisia]

Not too well but I doubt there would be major protests.
On the other hand, can the former Greek Royal Family actually afford to buy, restore and maintain the palace?

I believe King Constantine by himself can not although if he wanted to buy it he has many "friends" who would be able to help him. But surely Pavlos and Marie Chantal can afford to purchase repair and upkeep tatoi.

Greece is quite desperate now and Greek real estate prices have plummetted.

Nevertheless the greek shipowners(one of the infamous groups of taxevaders in Greece) and or the ex greek royals must be willing to pay a very generous amount for the property otherwise it will not look good.

[IRIS1983]

the king constantine has not "Right of first refusal"about Tatoi, he will not buy it . He think should be used for reason that was expropriated ,the general interest.

I know that he could not buy it by law, because I had read it . It is of greek State and in future(About may) it will be private property.
