Holidays on Samos? Looking for a photo of a car wreck? Well, no problem, Samos is rich in old car wrecks!
A wealth of these rotten and forgotten vehicles can be found along the roads, partially hidden in forests or stuck in fields, and in the gardens around the houses. Since many many years!
The photo above is from the year 2006, this was my favorite car wreck. But it had been removed already the next year I came back to this place.
Lately, Rainer Kastl has started a Samos vehicle wreck collection using latest technology. He has taken a lot of photos in October 2009 and positioned the vehicle wrecks he found according to their GPS data on a map of Samos! Now they are so easy to find, nobody can miss them anymore!
He collected 44 wrecks within his two weeks stay on Samos. And, in time, more and more examples will be added as points of interest to this map of car wrecks on Samos. Isn't it astonishing, what you can do with modern technologies? ;-)
Here is the link to the Samos vehicle wreck map.
Me and Mike could contribute quite a few more, but we don't have the respective GPS data.
Btw., already in 2008 Matthias Hänsch from Germany published a gallery on his website called "The old cars of Samos"
More photos of rusty vehicles on Samos can be found here and here
