It seems to have captured peoples imagination in a "gothic horror" kind of way. We have gazed at it for years but never ventured as far as looking at it. Sorry! Can't watch horror movies !

Could be fun thinking of who could you imagine staying there. Or, who would you condemn to staying there! Now that could haunt your thoughts! Anyone up for a visit on the 31st?

We had a walk up to the hotel when we were there in September. It was creepy enough in the sunshine and there is no way that I would go in the dark!!

It's all very sad really. The bedrooms are all fully furnished - beds made, pictures on walls, tvs, etc - which makes it all the more eerie. If the rooms had been empty it may have felt less spooky.

The grounds are very overgrown and the hotel has been broken into so you can go inside (we didn't dare!). There are a few bits of furniture lying outside and a couple of TV's broken up.

It could be a lovely place but the money needed to 'fix' it would be enourmous. The building is now starting to decay and over time it is going to become more of a wreck, and with it being the largest building in SS, will become a blot on the beautiful landscape.

We had a walk up there in september but did not venture inside.There was someone inside and it appeared as they were sleeping there, they did a quick disappearing act when they saw us outside.

I thnk we were in San Stef the same time as you Kemo and I agree, there was someone inside.   We could see the hotel clearly from the Tsaros and the shutters were open on one room on the upper floor and there was washing hung over the balcony.

Terry, I also had a good view of the yellow hotel from the Athina and I could see the upper floor room with the shutters open. We were told by a waiter at one of the restaurants in SS that squatters often stayed in there and that over the coming winter all the furniture, fittings etc will disappear[not sure what he meant by that].

I've a pretty good idea what he meant!! ;D  Guess the surprising thing is that it hasn't happened already.

Makes you wonder why all the stuff wasn't removed when it was closed down.
