Time has stood still in this forgotten behemoth of a chemical plant. Everything has been left in a time capsule state. Nature has taken over and decay has set in. It's as though everybody just got up and left etc etc etc...... All the umbex clichés you can think of apply to this beast of a...

Here we have my holiday outing during my trip to Greece last week. "Jungle trains" for a reason! I had seen this somewhere on the net and it looked interesting. So, with permission from my boss, I was allowed out for the afternoon and off I raced. As it turns out, there seem to be quite a few...

The huge plants were built in the first half of the 1960s. They are surrounded on all sides by high mountains and located next to lignite deposits. It was the main raw material in the production of nitrogen fertilizers. Over the years, the plants employed thousands of workers and was one of the...

For six decades, the airport served as the Greek capital’s main hub for commercial airliners. It was the Greek home of the ‘golden age’ of air travel, handling around 12 million passengers per year. Now it is in the process of being demolished to make space for luxury apartments, hotels and a...

Hi all, just wanted to share a very quick explore in a shop I came across on holiday with the missus. We were wandering up a huge hill trying to find a bus stop and spotted the place on the roadside. It was a Sunday and 30c+ so the locals were all hiding indoors with the aircon on. The place...

Back in October myself and @elliot5200 decided to make a break for it to Greece for a week just as the UK were going back into lockdown. At the time Greece was one of only a few countries you couId still visit without any quarantine issues but it seemed that might not be the case for much...

Could not find much information about this place although it looks as though it was abandoned before completion, but it had one of the best views of any abandoned place I have been to. Was a random find while exploring the area around a beach, made up of a larger building and two smaller. Just...

Quad biking through the mountains i spotted this beautifully decayed building that upon inspection got bigger and bigger, the land its on was huge. Unfortunately i cannot find any information anywhere on the internet regarding history but i thought id share the pictures as it was a very chill...

On holiday in Rhodes at the moment and accidentally came across this site. I saw it fromthe view of my bus and thought it was worth checking out so I did. The swimming complex was built in the 1970’s but sadly never opened. I’m not sure why that is as it’s been fully built so couldn’t be due to...

hi urbX community, this is my first report. I hope you like it and that someone get’s inspired to go out and explore. I went to Greece a few month ago, in particular to check out the “Train cemetery of Thessaloniki”. When i first saw photos of this place, my heart started racing… i had do...

Visited this place a few times now, it's one of those places you can see over and over and never grow tired. It's a pretty unknown village in Greece so has very few visitors. History: Ropoto was home to 300 families until a major landslide in Spring 2012. Minor landslides in Ropoto had been...

Hi guys, I'm planning to go to Greece next week, particular to Thessaloniki. I have seen photos of a train cemetery with lots of abandoned trains, ll try to find that place. Has anyone been there and has some advice... dos and don't... or maybe anyone interested in joining me? I'll also be in...

One of the few places I found on my recent holiday. I came across many more, couldn't leave my missus and daughter in the car all day but I've got few abandoned places in Greece documented and will post them soon.

As reported by many others on here, a few pics of our recent visit to Mussolinis Villa in Rhodes, Only one picture of the outside of the church, as even at three in the afternoon it had a presence as soon as we entered the front door.

Allegedly this villa, standing high in the hills of Rhodes island, was built for Italian Fascist dictator Butino Mussolini's retirement. In fact, Mussolini never set foot in the villa, having been killed at the end of WW2. It has been standing derelict since 1947 and incredibly, within the last...
