In this video we decided to explore the abandoned Radion Hotel located in the town of Kamena Vourla. I found this hotel on a Facebook page that records similar buildings. When I saw the first photos, I was thrilled by its façade and almost immediately decided to visit the place ... As you will see, the place is in a very bad state!
Almost everything has been removed! Pipes, cables, railings, and of course whatever was left over from furniture or other utilities! The basement of the building has been flooded and access was impossible!
However we were not disappointed by the large size of the building and some features that were very imposing!
Completing our exploration of the hotel, we found two more abandoned buildings, the Thronion Hotel and the Asclepius Public Hydrotherapeutics. I don't include them in this episode because the duration would be too long and somewhere would get tiring! I will definitely share them with you sometime in the future ...
Of course we also went to the thermal springs to dive in before heading back!
Hope you like the video!
Enjoy ;)
History:
Kamena Vourla is an area that has associated its name with the hot springs of the new middle class of the 1960s. Known through Greek films filmed in the area showing visitors playing cards and using protocols of French society behavior.
In this area was the ancient city of Thronion, near the currents of the Boogri River. The location is beautiful as it is between Mount Knimida and Euboean. The old Athens-Lamia highway passed through Kamena Vourla, turning the area into a general tourism resort but also a necessary stop and coffee stop on the long routes.
Our tour starts from the largest hotel in the complex, moving along the seaside street of Gerassimos Vasiliadis next to the church of Ag. Panteleimon stands at the Radion Hotel. Most of the façade today is hidden by an amusement park of other times that seems to be down, in the 1960s there was a park with fountains and trees where hotel guests were resting. We leave the sea behind us and head south on the anonymous road to find the main entrance. It is not too late to see the first wing of the hotel face us in the street.
It is the work of the architect Gerassimos Molfessi as well as the Thronion and Asclepius, made famous 1937 - 1938 and we can see in them elements of the Bauhaus principles
The Radion Hotel boasts 78 rooms spanning two corner wings and three floors. Wing B is parallel to the sea front and Wing parallel to the anonymous road where the hotel entrance is located. At the point where the wings are joined is the central arched staircase with many small windows. The building consists of two basements, ground floor, first, second floor and a roof, where there is a concrete pergola overlooking all directions.
