A local would say...

A village abandoned in the 1960s — walk through it at dusk and the silence is the kind that has a shape.

Tilos' original settlement built inland as protection from pirates — the last inhabitants left in the 1960s mainly due to water scarcity. Wandering around the abandoned stone houses in various states of collapse is fascinating and, as the light fades, faintly eerie. A short walk from Livadia.
