Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stumbled across this amazing place quite by accident and were blown away. The majesty and the impressive design is still there in the tiles and architecture and it has been untouched since the Nazi party left as it is considered locally that nobody wants anything to do with its past. There's the Nazi hq and the TB sanatorium, both safe and free to walk around and explore. Both are incredible buildings to photograph and soak up the atmosphere from. An interesting break away from the the bustle and hustle of the tourist traps. Also nearby is Villa Veche...

Unexpected find when visiting Eleousa. It's easy to imagine the beauty of the market building and the bustle of the community when you visit, even though it was abandoned after WW2. It's charm is being able to wonder round but be careful if you have young children as the buildings are dilapidated. The sanitarium opposite the church was used to treat Tuberculosis until 1970, is eerie and sad. A fascinating place to visit, slightly off track and if you like this then perhaps visit Mussolini's villa nearby at Profitis Ilias.

If you are into visiting abandoned buildings and ghost towns, you will love visiting this eery and creepy place. You can scan a QR code at the entrance to discover its fascinating history.

This Italian settelment (from WW2) is diversity to discover. One one side abandoned buildings acting as ghost town that surround the pleasant park in the middle and pleasant church (that is in use) on other side. It is interesting, since this place is totaly abandoned, that the buildings were not etiher removed or renovated to serve in new function. Nevertheless, you can use the time spend in this place as reflection and reminder about all horros of WW2.

we stumbled across this deserted Italian Village that was used by the Germans in WW2 by accident and once we had read the guide book's description of what it was we investigated the deserted derilict sanitorium and the market place with wallpaper still on the walls. I got spooked, it really did scare me - maybe too many movies on haunted hospitals etc got to me but after walking through for 20 minutes I really did have to leave!! The church is beautiful and if you are in the mountains stop 20 minutes and have a look - don't let the creaks and groans of an old building scare you like they did me though!!!

It is by leaving these as abandoned buildings that Greece remembers the fascist occupation. Originally a 'seed' settlement in the 1930s to attract Italian tree loggers; this failed and it became a sanatorium for tubercular children until the war. The church was taken over as Orthodox and on a happier note we were privileged to see a wedding the day we visited.

An area that time seems to have forgotten! These Italian buildings are in ruins, apart from the church, but so evocative of a period gone by. The pond, just a little further on from the main square is really beautiful. Its size is surprising.

Visiting Eleousa is a strange affair, beautiful, derelict, creepy, even the fountain is an oddity. We found it completely by accident but so glad we did

A short walk up from the fountain we found a number of caves that were locked. What’s the story on these?
