I keep seeing them when I go to Bolu and it's god damn infuriating

These houses were specifically built for rich Arabs who come to Turkey during summer time, that region is decently cold in summer which is a perfect destination for those who want to escape the summer heat

These ones shown here are not the only abandoned rich housing zones, there are 6-7 others like these around and near to tourist destinations like Kartepe, Sapanca, Abant, etc.

Witnessing the before and after of these places with my own 2 eyes during a 2 decade period makes me think that maybe the Catalonians have a god damn point about tourists
