The phenomenon of abandoned villages is relatively common in mainland Greece and the islands, especially in rural and remote areas. It is the result of mass migration from villages to cities during the 20th century, especially after World War II and during periods of economic crisis. Many of the residents left the villages in search of work and better living conditions in the big cities or even outside Greece.
