The Verengaria (various spellings, haven't found a definitive one yet!) was built in 1930, overlooking the small town of Prodromos in the Troodos mountains

It was one of the first hotels in the area, and possibly the first with electricity, provided by this steam(?) engine

The hotel was badly managed when passed from father to sons and ran into the ground. It's utterly stripped inside, and exhibits signs of fire damage. Some of the roof supports are buckled and support a temporary tin roof

Its swimming pool installed in the 1960s is on the shaded side of the hotel, which must have been the beginning of the end for this place.

Mad thoughts about walking out on the diving board stirred my mind for 5 minutes, before realising it wasn't properly attached.
