GREECE: Urbex Nafplio - Old Abandoned Myloi Train Station - Lost Place Graffiti

The abandoned Myloi train station is located in the Argolis region of the Peloponnese, not far from the city of Nafplio. It was opened around 1886 as part of the expansion of the Peloponnesian narrow-gauge railway network and was part of the meter-gauge railway line connecting Nafplio with Argos and other towns in the region. For decades, the station served both passenger transport and the transport of agricultural products such as citrus fruits and olives. With the progressive decline of regional rail traffic from the 1970s onwards, the station increasingly lost its importance; regular operations were finally discontinued in the early 2000s. Since then, the site has been considered a “lost place”. Particularly striking are the stationary, partly heavily weathered carriages and locomotives that still stand on the tracks. The old, narrow-gauge trains with rusty metal surfaces, broken windows, and faded paintwork convey an impressive impression of bygone railway eras. Numerous graffiti cover the walls and parked carriages, creating an exciting contrast between historical substance and modern art. It is precisely this mixture of industrial history, morbid charm, and artistic traces that makes the abandoned Myloi railway station a popular destination for photographers, urban explorers, and lovers of unusual places. These great photos were taken by the world explorers Thomas Adventurer and Diana Beekvelt, also known as the NOMADS ON WHEELS.

„What a discovery! Five old steam locomotives. Three English and two German locks. They have been aging here in Myloi since 1955“ – Diana

„If something is broken or no longer needed, it simply stops. That’s the mentality here. And so everything stands around, even such old monsters made of iron. 5 pieces.“ – Thomas
