The summer holidays of 2023 we spent in Athens, Kalamata and Nafplio. In Kalamata I had already become acquainted with the old railway network of the Peloponnese. Some old locomotives were parked at the former station. Nice to see, but located in a landscaped park, so not really abandoned and interesting for an urban explorer.
Hotel Xenia – Abandoned ruin built on an archaeological site
At the neck of the Akronaflia peninsula, on top of the hill, on one of the most shocking plots of land in Greece, where for much of the country’s modern history prisons for politicians and other prisoners were located, stands a long narrow three-story corpse. It is a large, abandoned concrete building.
Club Sin & Yaz Music Hall (GR)
Two abandoned nightclubs just outside Nauplion. I found some pictures from a time both were still open, and could see that the Yaz attracted a slightly fancier crowd than Club Sin. It’s all in the game and something with a name!
Old trainstation in the Peloponnese – abandoned rusted steam locomotives

Hotel Đuro Salaj (HR) – destroyed minersresort at the Makarska Riviera
Hotel Đuro Salaj is a former workers’ resort on the Makarska Riviera. In particular, miners from the mines in Đurđevik, Banovići, Kreka, Breza and Miljevina could spend their holidays here.
Lozovac Aluminium Factory – Part 5 – the oldest aluminium factory of the Balkans, abandoned since 2000
One of the greatest urbex locations I’ve been and for me one of the hottest explorations ever: the temperature was 38 degrees and I was melting like aluminium!
Hotel Goričina (HR) – a haunting relic of the past
The abandoned Hotel Goričina II in Kupari stands as a haunting relic of the past, frozen in time amidst the picturesque landscape. This once-luxurious resort, located on the Adriatic coast, was a jewel of Yugoslavian tourism before falling victim to the ravages of war.
Lozovac Aluminium Factory – Part 4 – the oldest aluminium factory of the Balkans, abandoned since 2000
Lozovac Aluminium Plant was once a thriving industrial hub located near the Krka waterfalls. The factory was established in the early 1930s and operated for over six decades, providing employment opportunities for hundreds of men in the region. However, due to economic challenges and changes in the global aluminum market, the factory was eventually shut down in the late 1990s, leaving behind an abandoned industrial complex that has been slowly decaying over the years. One of the greatest urbex locations I’ve been.
Hasborner Mill – a beautiful forgotten place in the Eifel
While on a short vacation in the Eifel area in Germany I found this place on the map and it seemed interesting enough to go for an explore. After I parked the car I walked down the forest path and after about ten minutes I saw the abandoned buildings looming in the forest.
