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 rusty window,
One more chance to see what's inside:
Last couple of shots from the outside:
