Berengaria abandoned hotel at Prodromos 1

from https://www.cyprusbeat.com :
"The Berengaria Hotel opened its doors in 1931 and closed down in 1984. It now stands desolate, derelict and its stone structure is beginning to crumble. During its time, it was the hidden jewel of the mountains as it was a luxurious hotel hosting visitors such as Pharouk, the King of Egypt and Ezer Vaisman president of Israel as well as top businessmen of the time. It was a mountain resort with a casino, night club and had state of the art furniture and decor.
What makes Berengaria so appealing until now is its peculiar history. The hotel itself closed down due to bad business and huge profit loss but underlying stories uncover secrets within the family. It was said that the original owner Mr. Kokkalos after having built a hotel by himself with an international presence and reputation went to waste. This was due to the fact that after his death, having passed it on to his three sons which were filled with greed, vanity and jealousy of each other caused the hotel to fail.
A special factor that added to the “creepiness” of the hotel was the fact that furniture, beds and crockery as well as clothes were still lying around the hotel with old postcards all over the entrance of the hotel. However after it was bought in order to be renovated all of this was removed and what is now left is the structure of the hotel.[...]"
