Balos

My friends and I made a trip to the west coast of Crete, and after a wonderful hike arrived at this gorgeous scene. The beach of Balos. This photograph really doesn't do it justice. The water was so vibrantly blue and the landscape and mountains were stunning as well. Additionally, there were quite a few other islands scattered along the coast. A very interesting topography.

Akti Zeus

Akti Zeus...an abandoned hotel in Ammoudara. It was pretty creepy. It's located on the outskirts of the hotel zone, near a power plant. Nearly everything was left inside, beds, phones, furniture, dishes, stocked closets with lightbulbs, etc. The floors are covered with dust, footprints clearly visible. Oh, and I can't forget the creepiest part...the clock in the lobby still works, it's still running and ticking. Eeek!

Don't worry, I went with a group of people. I would not go here alone, at times I felt like I was in a horror film! Hah!









The exterior.









Some parts of the hotel looked like a crime scene...literally.









One of the rooms.









The property has no locks, so people come and go as they please.




















An interesting tree









Ending with the creepiest image...the headless and appendage-less mannequin in the lobby. I didn't pose him either, he was set up just like that.
