Questions about this page
How many ghost towns are there in Greece?
10 on this map, out of 506 archaeological & historic sites in Greece. That is what Wikidata records with coordinates, a photograph and a Wikipedia article, so it is a floor rather than a census.
What is the best known ghost town in Greece?
Poliochne. Archaeological site on Lemnos island, Greece.
Which ghost towns in Greece are the least visited?
9 of the 10 rank as little known — a Wikipedia article in only a handful of languages. They sit at the bottom of the ranked list below.
Where does this information come from?
Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
