One more day out for ruins

A bit rainy day today but I say grab any chance given for urbexing as the weather will get worse next days. I had to cross patches of mud to make it to my next target and as you can see below under this mix of mud and gravel is where my rear right tire is:

Let me remind you at this point that I'm still tracking the culprit of my faulty 4x4 so I had to attack those muddy parts with speed. It was fun since I didn't stuck anywhere but pity there's no video to share the fun (being solo has its cons).

Solo or not the area I am exploring is definitely enjoyable even in this cold morning. Here's my first pine tree model:

As you can see next to it there's a water tank:

Ruins and water tanks most of the times are found at abandoned shepherd's huts but more on that a little later - for the time I enjoy the scenery while you can also have an idea about the path that lead me here:

SO where's the hut's ruins? There you go:

Very poor findings unfortunately so I leave the place much sooner than I expected.

After fighting with the same muddy parts fortunately once more with success I arrive at my next target, a much flatter area that looks like a cow's heaven:

It's also heaven for me though I'm not even close to a cow which doesn't prevent me from enjoying this kinda sunny break on a rainy day. Even better when this comes with a much better find this time:

Wait a minute...WTF is this bottom left? Don't tell me it's a jacuzzi...

A low end one but yes it is! I've said it many times before but the kind of stuff I find in such places is beyond belief and comprehension.

Other than that it is a lovely area with many bee houses:

As I step towards the ruins you see on the right of the above picture I see these water tanks and wells:

They used to supply water for animals (among other uses) back in the day.

No idea what this used to be though:

The above mess makes such a contrast with the rest of the view which looks like the Greek version of a Windows XP wallpaper:

I picture the mess from all possible angles trying to figure things out but it still leaves to me a "go figure" aftertaste:

Fortunately I can rinse my eyes with this beauty:

And this new born chamomile!

These guys are tiny now but they make a superb white carpet in spring.

Let's go back to the main thing:

It really looks to me like leftovers from a movie scene:

In case you suspect gun shooting for some of the scars on the white one's walls yes, you are right:

Time and weather has traumatised it much more extensively though:

Let's have a look inside:

As you can see there's several scars from bullets in here too. Some attempted to blend them with a bit of art attempt:

It's just a tiny wee bit messy in here:

I get a feeling that someone has used this fireplace next to the chair relatively recently when this thing was probably still in the same mess more or less:

I showed you the Greek version of Window's wallpaper, let's see now some Greek windows Abandoned Edition:

This roof doesn't seem to have much life in it:

Call me over romantic all you want but that window in the background looks to me like a framed painting hanging on the wall:

My favourite bits when it comes to ruins are the stone houses (unless we talk about the ancient years were marble is king) so I'm more than happy to examine from close this one:

I get a feeling that someone pseudo repaired this old house for shepherd needs before abandoning it later. That's what I can tell by looking at the roof and the grout on the wall:

Poorest window in the first world? Could be this one:

All rooms are empty and bare but this one surprises me:

Just in case you can't figure out what's missing from the corner of this room that's a fireplace. Begs the question how come. I get a feeling that the whole thing was repurposed, maybe used as a shelter for animals (probably sheep) and they took the stones of the fireplace to build something else. Even that is a bit of WTF scenario but can't think of anything else - feel free to make a guess in the comments below.

Other than that it's just bare and empty with nice view from that tiny poor window like all the rest you saw already in part one:

This is no fancy way to make a door frame even by the standards of the time it was built but I am always attracted by old wood and this must be a century old if not older:

Again, far from fancy but interesting how that window frames the view behind it as if it doesn't know there's no thing like "indoors" for it anymore:

This could be captioned "...and the house became history...":

I commented on a window in the previous part as "the poorest" one but I think the one below takes the cake:

War zone misery level though I think that's just wear of time:

A bit of zoom out to see how the whole thing contrasts the green surroundings:

This is the end of the stone complex where I think they added these cement dividers later, probably to make a shelter for pigs:

Regardless what animals they used to keep there this is where they used to drink water:

I can picture them having lunch in this heaven:

Time to leave this place behind so I exit this neglected property from it's main entrance as any true gentleman would:

My next target is a few minutes ride on the top of a hill.

As you can tell it was a bit muddy on the way:

I leave the car at the foothill and as soon as I reach the top I enjoy the view:

As I turn to the top of the hill the only bit I find regarding what I am looking for is this:

As I try to climb higher I see the first bit of a house - it's chimny:

Climbing is over and I get the first full view of my target - much smaller than what I expected:

This tiny thing though has a fantastic uninterrupted view from the surrounding mountains up to the sea:

The house itself is small and terribly deserted though:

On the other hand nature knows how to beautify things even in the absence of maintenance:

This crater might be a result of a destroyed well:

Not that the house is far from destroyed:

This probably used to be the main entrance of the property:

Wanna have a look inside? Here's the bathroom:

And here is...go figure:

Now look at the yard of that thing. Ain't it sweet?

Despite the small house the property is kinda large and extends on two levels. Here's the view from the upper one:

The upper level also host this thing that (I guess) used to be the water tank:

Sweet view everywhere you head at:

Last shot before I start stepping down:

Pretty weird finding as the size of the house doesn't really match the size of the plot but this might mean that the owner annexed other parts later and in this case I have my doubts how legal the whole thing was which could be one of the reasons it was abandoned later.

Hope you liked both parts as much as I did.

See you in the next one!
