Gythio old town - Greece. Sept '12

[NakedEye]

Gythio, Greece is a coastal town located at the South Peloponese on the western side of the Laconian Gulf. According to Greek mythology, it was founded by Hercules and Apollo.

This house was found by accident in the old town of Gythio which was built on a slopes of the Koumaros mountain and overlooks the sea. There are many derelict buildings on this particular hill and this one was found towards the top simply left alone and abandoned. I imagine there are many more similar houses further up.

I have no history for the house at all. All I know is the person who last lived here was male [from the clothes left]. How long it has been like this is anyone’s guess.

Anyway, here's the photographs

View from the balcony of the Port of Gythio-Laconian Gulf....nice eh?!!

The thing about these houses is the lack of graffitti and obvious chav activities...Greeks respect these properties more I guess and leave them alone.....the house seemed full of sadness...I hope to return this summer.

Thanks for the nice words guys, this was great due to the fact that I stumbled across it by accident...no preparation.....soon i'll put up the abandoned prison which is across the road from this.......then on the last day I spotted a massive abandoned hotel but it was too late to do a shoot.....i'll go back!!
