In 2011 only 33 people lived in the town. They tried to revive it into a thriving tourist stop, but it didn't work.
I'll be in Greece for 9 months, and I'll be documenting what I do here. There is no clever writing nor advertisements. I'm just telling you what's happening. This way you'll know I'm alive, and you will be able to experience Greece.

Vatheia
The now mostly abandoned town of Vatheia was built around the 18th-19th centuries. This town is not near as old as most of our stops, but we visited when on our way out of the Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese because the architecture is that of historic tower houses.
