In June 2007, the
Government of Greece said it intended to turn the former palace and grounds into a museum. However, it was reported in September 2012 that the government now intended to sell the palace and its estate in the face of mounting financial pressure. Founded in 2012, the "Friends of Tatoi Association" has set itself the goal to restore the former royal estate and convert it to a museum and public venue, while facing political indifference and lack of money. In 2015, ten cars which were kept in the former royal estate of Tatoi were designated as cultural monuments by the Central Council for Modern Monuments (ΚΣΝΜ). However, the cars, as well as the carriages (which were not included in the decision) remained in the ruins, with parts of the roof falling on the cars in 2016. As of 2020, the cars and carriages had been removed and restored as part of restoration efforts by the Greek government. For several years, the Greek government had no plan for preservation of the Tatoi Palace, neighbouring buildings and the natural area around the Tatoi, and the estate suffered extensive age and weather damage. An idea to convert the former royal estate to a private winery or a
resort with restaurants and barbecue was met with criticism by private persons and organisations, who feared it could erase the historical elements of the property, and who preferred to open Tatoi as a museum for the public. The former royal estate of
Polydendri forest is also completely abandoned, and the buildings are in a state of decay. In late 2019, the Greek culture ministry moved ahead with plans to finally restore the palace. After approximately a year of conservation work had been undertaken, the Greek government announced that the estate would become a
mixed-use development after the completion of restoration. Plans are centered on the conversion of the main house into a museum of the royal family, as well as the construction of a new luxury hotel and spa. The
2021 forest fires were catastrophic for the estate: were burnt, with a fire breaking out in the Palace itself. While it was saved, two adjoining storage containers containing objects were destroyed. The area of the Royal Cemetery burned, but the Mausoleum and the Church of the Resurrection were saved. A number of estate buildings, including the Directorate building (which was being used to store furniture), the caretaker's house, the Telegraph Office and Sturm House, were lost. Following the
death of Constantine II, it was announced by
Lina Mendoni, the
Minister of Culture and Sports, that the government intended to transform Tatoi into a museum by 2025. The exterior was to be renovated and the royal gardens tidied. The project followed efforts to clean the palace and its surroundings for the burial of Constantine II. The forest had started to recover by 2024 and plans were announced to restore the gardens. The renovations were expected to be completed by late 2025. ==Buried at Tatoi==
