‘People can’t live there’: Sinking Greek ghost town ignored by government

New photos of a Greek village sinking since a massive landslide struck in 2012 show the devastating impact the natural disaster and lack of official response has had on the once-thriving community.

Ropoto, in central Greece, is now abandoned after villagers were forced to leave their homes due to ongoing landslides.

Many buildings have collapsed completely, while others appear to remain largely intact. The terrain is still sinking, according to Greek Reporter.com, which recently filmed a documentary depicting the plight of those affected.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
