The Mon Repos Palace is practically a villa located in the forest of Palaiopolis. It was originally built as the summer residence for Frederick Adam, a British official. He and his wife had to relocate to India though, so the villa was rarely used. Over the history, it housed a school of fine arts. It was opened to the public in 1834. It received its current name in 1864, after being granted to King George I of the Hellenes. The villa was successfully restored in the 1990s and is better known for being the birth place of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1921. Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark was also born in the Mon Repos Palace, in 1965.
