I was actually riding around seaside beauties exploring the island of Lefkada but I just couldn't avoid a stop at the view of this:

Its sign is all Greek to you but don't worry, it's my native tongue so ladies and gents, I am about to visit an abandoned wine factory.

This building has been deserted for at least 3 decades while it's around 100 years old. A look at one of its secondary buildings gives an idea of what's about to follow:

Let's reach the main building. The sun is a friend in exposing its misery:

The whole thing is sealed so I approach these broken windows in an attempt to get some shots of the inside:

Unsurprisingly I find wine containers:

Also unsurprisingly I find spiders too:

The following is a bit of surprise though. It's obviously Trump on the left but...is this Putin on the right?

Here is the pool where the grape juice goes after the grapes are squeezed:

Which of course is located right behind these twins which receive the grapes on arrival:

Another angle of the "pool" and its misery:

I manage a shot of one of the offices via a fenced window and it looks just like a house after burglary:

Here is where the trucks used to be weighted first before they enter the factory:

The building hosting the weight watcher is actually the one I pictured in the beginning:

A closer look to what is all Greek to you (once again) says that the Greek weight watcher business was founded in 1900 - the device itself has a German brand on it though:

This old thing reading in Kg looks kinda funny today:

I don't think it will be still standing after the next strong earthquake - this area gives lots of them:

I climb up a hill to get a better view of its other side:

I walk towards these windows hoping they will allow me some good shots of the inside:

And they kinda do. Fancy some industrial old school?

I am intrigued to see what's inside this basement:

I wouldn't call this a basement's treasure:

Around the corner I find this thing and I am impressed by the fact that the belt of its electric motor is still in place:

Misery and rust is plenty:

Through some holes in the rust I manage the following shots:

One more chance to see what's inside:
