A once thriving community became a desolate husk due to a seismic catastrophe.

Ropoto was once a bustling prosperous village in central Greece, a home for 300 families and a prominent agricultural center famous for its apples.

In 2012 however the settlement was hit by a major landslide which demolished most of the buildings and caused the rest to start slowly sinking into the ground.

While the residents emerged unharmed from the calamity, they were forced to abandon their homes, and now Ropoto is merely a ghost town, forgotten by the people and the authorities.
