Itinerary
The villa was built as a summer residence for the British Lord High Commissioner of the United States of the Ionian Islands, Frederick Adam in 1828–1831. The villa was rarely used as a residence for later British governors. In 1833, it housed a school of fine arts, while in 1834, the park was opened to the public. Empress Elisabeth of Austria stayed there in 1863. Here she fell in love with the island, where she later built the Achilleion Palace. After the union with Greece in 1864, the villa was granted to King George I of the Hellenes as a summer residence; he renamed it "Mon Repos" . The royal family used it as a summer residence up until King Constantine II fled the country in 1967. Several royal births have taken place at the villa, including those of Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark on 26 June 1914, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on 10 June 1921, and Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark on 10 July 1965.

About Vlorë
Vlorë is a port city on a wide bay in south-west Albania, where the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea below pine-covered hills.
Vlorë curves around its bay behind a palm-lined promenade and a working harbour. The Muradie Mosque, a sixteenth-century building credited to the architect Sinan, stands near the centre, and the Independence Monument recalls the declaration of independence made here in November 1912. On a hill just above the city, the weathered walls of Kanina Castle look out over the bay and the lowlands behind it.
