Our stroll through Alyko Ghost Hotel starts here, near the place where you can park, in front of "Dragon", a 2018 work by Wild Drawing (WD Street Art), a Balinese artist based in Athens. A pile of debris that the artist has transformed into a work of art...

This is Hawaii Beach, a beautiful beach of golden sand at the foot of a small cliff of multicoloured rocks.
To go down to this beautiful beach where nudism is tolerated, all you have to do is find one of the narrow passages dug between the rocks.

If the monumental luxury hotel project had been completed, what would have become this small beach? An outdoor disco?
Believe it or not, the hotel was supposed to have 1000 rooms, all with sea view... Probably the worst project ever imagined around the Mediterranean...
This wild street art exhibition, which combined the worst and the best in unsightly ruins, was destroyed in 2025 to return the site to nature. This was a good thing, even if it is regrettable that none of the works were preserved. To pay tribute to this explosion of creativity, we have improved and reposted our 2019 panoramas. You can (re)discover them by clicking on the embedded Street View arrows. Panorama: "Elf", Wild Drawing (WD Street Art) 2018
This totally disproportionate project would have destroyed part of Alyko's unique biotope. Believe it or not, the hotel was supposed to have 1000 rooms, all with sea view... Probably the worst project ever imagined around the Mediterranean... Unfortunately, we have not been able to recreate our 2019 “virtual stroll” with the same location accuracy and artwork details. Let the images and your inspiration transport you through this strange universe! Panorama: "Unconditional Love", Wild Drawing (WD Street Art) 2015
