In addition to houses, there are entire abandoned villages in different parts of Greece. For example, these are:

Vafia Village, Peloponnese 

Vafia is an abandoned village in the Taygetus mountain range in the south of the Peloponnesian Peninsula. Its main attraction is a complex of ancient tower houses built of stone.

The exact date of the foundation of Wafia is unknown, but according to legend, the first dwellings appeared here many centuries ago as shelters from the raids of pirates and invaders.

In the 1980s, some of the tower houses were renovated and converted into a hotel complex. Cafes and restaurants have opened for tourists. However, by the early 1990s, this travel company had completely gone bankrupt.

Since then, Wafiya has become abandoned again and turned into a “ghost town”. No one lives in the village now, but its powerful stone walls and towers have been preserved as a unique monument of medieval architecture.

Old Peritya Village, Corfu

Staraya Peritya is a village in the north of Corfu, located on the slopes of Pantokrator Mountain, 8 km from Kassiopi. Its main feature is about 130 ancient stone houses in the Venetian style, many of which are impressive mansions.

The village was abandoned in the middle of the twentieth century due to malaria epidemics and the threat of enemy invasions. By 1940, almost all the inhabitants had left the Old Peritya, and it had turned into a “ghost town”.

Now only two people live in the village — Briton Mark Hendriksen and his wife Saska, owners of The Merchant’s House hotel complex. They have completely restored one of the old mansions in the authentic Venetian style of the XVII century.

The couple is helping to restore other historic houses of Old Peritya in order to revive the once abandoned village. A walk along it allows you to plunge into the original Greek atmosphere and architecture of bygone centuries.

The British newspaper The Independent called Old Perithia “the ultimate destination for an authentic Greek holiday” due to its natural beauty, spectacular sea views and rich historical heritage.
