Description
There is no doubt that an abandoned building on the top of a mountain can provide the ideal setting for a thriller movie. The former Athenian sanatorium on Mount Parnitha emerges like a ghost through the scorched grounds which were left behind by the catastrophic fire of 2007, and tells its own story.
