Τhe Ghost Village in Crete...!!!

in photography •  7 years ago 

A densely populated village that its inhabitants abandoned.
The open doors and windows, in houses, with scattered objects on the floors, between tattered clothes, notebooks with half-finished notes, dishes and glasses in their cases ready for re-use. Above all, however, the scent of abandonment and the "mockery" of melancholy in a village that a few decades ago was full of life.
This is the image that faces anyone who finds in Crete ...80 kilometers east of Heraklion in the village of Kalami. A village built in magnificent scenery, next to mountains, rivers and dense vegetation, which makes you wonder why they let it desert.

It sounds familiar... I may have passed it before but don't remember this story in particular.

Is it still like this today?

Γιατί αλήθεια?
