From Wiki:
Pentedattilo (Calabrian Greek: Pentadàktilo) is a ghost town in Calabria, southern Italy, administratively a frazione of Melito di Porto Salvo. Until 1811, before the unification of Italy, it was a separate commune. It is situated at 250 m above the sea level, on the Monte Calvario, a mountain whose shapes once resembled that of five fingers (whence the name, from the Greek penta + daktylos , meaning "five fingers")
It's possible to stay overnight in this village, it's not easy though, cars stop where I took the photo, all food and luggage must be carried up from this point, that part was definitely not fun. Night versions coming soon.
Night view of the same ghost village I uploaded yesterday, I had to push the ISO higher, but that unfortunately made the artificial lights appear like supernovas.

Pentedattilo, la ciudad fantasma,abandonada por el alto riesgo de desprendimientos de las rocas. Tenía cinco (pente) dedos (dattilo) y solo quedan dos. Es bellísimo.A lo lejos se ve el mar Jónico, el Etna y a veces Strómboli.Solo está restaurada la iglesia.
