I went there as a kid. It was magical. I cried when I saw what it has become.
Me too..
in have been in the club next to this called "Marco polo club" for 20 years ago.. i saw the big worm an other animals from the street and wish we have choose this club
What's the deal with the bottom floor of Noah's Ark?
So much effort went into building that place, so sad to see it fail, and such and incredible beach front property.
I worked in this hotel in the summer 1998 as a Jobstudente! Very sad to see in this condition!
Like many abandoned sites. Fair enough if it was properly cleaned out and demolished, but just letting it go to waste and neglect is something else!
@@TCFan25 problem of this place is;all rooms and small houses in this complex sold with timeshare contract to thousands of different persons for every week of the year. So its very complicated and almost impossible to buy and put new hotel! Thats why its abondoned
@@rentoquando5249 To bad to hear :( I'm afraid nothing will happen anymore... I can imagine it was a fun park to work or? :)
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath it was terrible place to work but for the customers was this place like a fairytale place! It was very surreal!
@@rentoquando5249 Damn, sorry to hear :(
I have been following this channel for a long time, we have visited the closed Maraş before, welcome friends to our country. :)
Nice ! Saw also the closed part?
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath There is a 5 acres of abandoned American Consulate house in Turkey, I would love for you to enter there.
@@merthanaka2507 O, that sounds interesting :) Where about is it? NEver heard about it I think.
Man, Turkey is falling apart as a country! Even by American standards this place would be awesome! Hard to fathom how they could just let all that hard work and artistic flair just go to waste!
hotel goes bankrupt government decides to shut it down
@kirlijoe9302 not government you idiot. how about the bank, and investors
Its as if someone went on a quest to destroy ever single window they could,
What an amazing place Bob! Exactly what you said, it looks more like a them park than an actual resort. Must have been crazy to be on holiday there in the past, what a shame it closed.
What an awesome explore. I really wish I had gone the Naturland many years ago. I love Turkey and would have loved, loved, loved this resort. My inner child was really happy! Thank you for the amazing tour.
The place is huge. We visited the place in january 2016, but it is sad to see how much is destroyed.
We where told that it was not guarded Because in the winter the cabins on the Mountain was used by gypsies.
And guards dont want trouble with Them.
2016 ! It must have been in a good condition then. Got pictures of your visit?
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath i Think i have some from our visit, i remember that i showed some to Morten kirchoff and Jan Elhøj back Then
I’ve been subscribe for years and years but this is perhaps my favourite video. What an amazing place for a rave, or to trip with friends!
I'm really enjoying the before and now footage and photos. Excellent work once again guys!
Love from Australia 😎🤙🇦🇺
Weer een top video! Bedankt om nog steeds content te leveren tijdens deze moeilijke tijden. Het corona biertje was een mooie touch op het einde.
Sweet explore! It’s a shame to think about the wasted investment this had to be, but then again, where else could you explore? I hope you enjoyed the explore as much as we like the videos! Glad you kept your camera 📸
That is one weird place! I cant imagine myself going there when it was active, but as it is now (minus the vandalism) it is intriguing. Nice explore!
I think you defeinitely earned that beer at the end. Another excellent exploration!
Great video, I love how you put old pictures in how it used to look
That resort must have simply been epic in it's day. Incredible. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Reminds me of the scene from The Lost World where they revisited Jurassic Park to find it all decayed and in ruins.
I was there around Easter holiday 2001, and it was really spectacular.
New things to explore every day.
So sad to see what have happened 😢.
Oha ! Welcome to Turkey guys 😄
when i was kid (2009) i was in there, there is was best vocation place in the world, i missed there 😢
27:00 wow! Look how they tiled around the second eyeball of the octopus figure! Cool idea!
The details they put into the complex is amazing!
So sad it has been trashed - mainly by locals looking for scrap metal and other reusable stuff.
That was EPIC as always guys!Good job!!
What an amazing place. Thank you so much for showing us this place and spending your time. I look forward to future videos thank you again
Realy nice video, the old pictures (how it was) are a great found!
I really enjoy your videos. You find some of the most epic places to explore on the planet. I also like the excellent drone footage and the before and after pictures.
Nice episode! Pretty unique and weird to see such over the top decorations. 😄
A beautiful tribute to nature, a precious heritage for many generations...

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath you're most welcome :)
I bet this place was amazing when it was open! Great video 👍
Excellent! Thank you for sharing this amazing location😊 beautiful flowering trees
I'm anticipating this one.👍
Amazing video. Beautiful resort. Love your content!
Turkey looks beautiful
I spent 5 days at the hotel in late 90's. Named Naturland, That was expensive and all inclusive style. But not luxury hotel i don't like that because insects and mosquiots everywhere, it's like camping in hotel :)
Nice man. Thanks for the name. I found realy interesting pictures from how it was before. Unbelievable how the condition is now. 😔
where you are in Turkije there always gonna be mosquitos and insects thats normal
amazing place...I regret i was very close (Greece) and i didn’t know for this place when i was young in order to visit it.what a pitty
We went here with my family when I was very little. It was a very fascinating place. It's so sad to see it like this now. Only photos and videos remain from the good days of the past. It's like a fallout game.
Sad to hear! Must have been such a cool place as a kid!!
Best explore I've seen recently! Thanks so much!
Thanks! Also seen our most dangerous adventures episode?
Like the long format videos. Keep them coming.
Will do my best☺️
Wow the most beautiful resort ever! That is so sad 😢😢😢😢 thanks for the great video 🤗
Pretty wild place. Thanks so much for the Video. Sprawling area that had quite a creepy vibe to it. Thanks again David
A great explore of a gigantic area wow a big walk around loved it.
Wow... that place is huge!
Amazing place ,Turkey is beautiful.
Thanks mate. I traveled to the past. My memories are gone.😔
great, i have never seen such a wide video of this place before
We were there about 4 years ago and it was particularly funny to see that almost all the glass was smashed but all the mirrors were still intact. great video 👍
Greats from Hamburg germany
Oo probably in a better shape than now.
Really great explore!
Man I love the singing from mosques. I once was in Singapur near the mosque and it pulled me out of my sleep in the middle of the night, but it sounded so otherworldly, that I enjoyed it.
I like it too! Good traveling vibes☺️
When i went to turkey a couple of times , i saw a dog crossing the street hahah !
Haha😄
municipality can't take them to animal house. because the animal lovers protest that process
What a strange and wild place, thanks for sharing.
Thanks a million for watching
it was a fantastic resort great decorations. a shame that it is lost for the future. Great docu thank you
Thank you for the video. Weird yet stunning place. Reminds me of that Scooby Doo movie where they are on a ghost Island.
What an awesome place too bad it was so destroyed. The uniqueness of it was interesting but the views were fantastic. I enjoyed watching-thanks.
Such an amazing location to let deteriorate like that. I'm sure they had to be a lot of fun in their time.
In the next Time you have Ressorts like this everywhere in the World! Greetings from C.!!!
...cool video keep up the great content.
Omg hoe mooi moet dit ni geweest zijn ,zo zonde dat ze dit stuk maken voor hun plezier
Ja.. heel zonde.. vrees dat alles gesloopt wordt als het verkocht wordt😕
Thats awesome, I would love to see it in person
Awesome location.
Hi! Welcome to Turkey very thanks beautiful video...
Welcome to Turkey!
Very nice video, beautiful country🥰 I loved it, thanx for sharing😀Hi fr BC🇨🇦
Thanks for watching Tanya! We also have some other cool hotel episodes on our channel :)
El lugar es enorme, lastima que dejo de ser lo que era, estaba asombroso!
great content
Böyle bir yer olduğundan haberim yoktu teşekkürler good Job bro.
Thanks for checking out! I have been to more Turkish abandoned places😇
O que me deixa mais abismado é a riqueza de detalhes das esculturas!
Another amazing explore amassed at why people smash up these places just visit and leave
Great job Bob, u can almost here the laughter and screams of the children running from to each excibit! I wonder why everything is on English?? 💙
Die letzten Bilder habe ich bei Holiday-Check für das Jahr 2009 gefunden. Es muß einen Besitzerwechsel gegeben haben, vieles der Einrichtungen soll laut den Bewertungen außer Betrieb gewesen, das Ressort heruntergewirtschaftet
und die Anlagen in schlechtem Zustand gewesen sein. (Lest selbst die noch vorhandenen Bewertungen.) Das wird der Grund für den Konkurs gewesen sein. Ist wohl bei Eröffnung, wo alles noch intakt war, ein Traumhaft schönes Ressort gewesen! Es gibt auch einen interessanten Videofilm über die Zeit, in der das Ressort noch gute Zeiten erlebte!
Das video würde ich fern sehen. Wie war es wohl, als alles ok war. Ich finde de die anlage fantastisch.. Leider im guten Zeit nie kennengelernt.
Whopping great place Chap's. Good achievement. Thank's Lad's. From Craig. GBR.
That's a good one, but a sad one.
Wow that place looked brilliant I loved the animal part x
Thanks for watching! I explored some other amazing hotels. Currently exploring some in China.
Welcome to Turkey
WoOW Factor Guys!!!!!!!
İ was there 1 year ago my dad was working as the manager of Marco polo hotel near i would go to that place every week its so sad to see it like that.
So many people out in the street and so many rooms they could of charged reasonable rents to cover the housing part of it and kept that parts going instead just let it rot into the ground What a cool place Makes my inner kid come out
Someone amazingly stole those huge poolside windows at 37:32!
The amount of time and money put into making this very cool resort just to have it abandoned! So sad!
@32:53 "you are the first and the last thing in my mind everyday" says on the concrete barrier.
Muy Buen programa,,,Te felicito,,,Saludos desde ARGENTINA,,,,!!!!
Great place you found on this one.
Great shame it closed down, but not the sort of place I would want to be in at night???? Scary I would think with all the
animals and a few prehistoric men.
I love this channel, nice job guys!!! Hugs from Brazil!!
I missed the "ECO" part of this park.... 🤔🤔🤔
Surreal
En sevdigim kanal Türkiyeye geliyor e bu çok iyi
aslında her gezi kanalı gelip türkiye yi anlatsa ne guzel yabancı basın cöl gibi gostersede boyle soyler insanlara yol gosterebilir
@@yigitates3044 birakin col sansinlar . Yurdumuz istila oldu yabancilarla. onlarin paralarindan gelecek hayir Allahtan gelsin
My heart breaks for the smashed animal statues... so sad.
Amazing location 🙌
Crazy to see that big beautiful theme park didnt find his customers.
Yes! A real shame😣
The people living in the park have a nice and healthy fruit supply
A nightmare to upkeep.
huge place
Conheci o canal agora, gostei, me inscrevi e deixei o like. Meu agradecimento em especial pela legenda em português.
Fiquei triste com o desperdício de dinheiro que é deixar esse lugar ser tão vandalizado. Obrigada pela excelente exploração.
Wow
That place must have been amazing. I like how you cut in some photos of when it was open.
Its really depressing how people can trash a place tho. Thanks
It's going to have trouble selling because it's too specialized and with all that reinforced concrete will be expensive to even demo prior to redeveloping the site. Whatever the land itself is worth, subtract the demolition costs and then you've got an idea of what the place would sell for. If it's too remote or if land without such complications is available inexpensively then it could essentially have negative-worth.
It's an idyllic place so its land is so expensive
I saw the thumbnail and I said "it resembles the hotel we went in 2013" and ta da, it really is. Probably we are one of the last group of customers.
Firstly, it looks pretty decayed and moldy but still I can sense the cool and fresh air. Me and my family rested in the green resort side (upper side) which was cheaper but even those times, rest of the facility beyond our rooms was nearly closed or abandoned. We were using the rail system to go to our rooms because the pools, restaurants and everything was open down below. (Animal shaped trains on the hike rail system lacks the trains now) Some of the wooden houses were being used by hotel crew because they were far away and was not open for rent. I remember my father saying "the upper side pool is much calm and clean" because nobody was going there but my father :) Even those days, we talked with each other about how big and how hard to operate this place is. They were obviously in debt but the hotel is built in an amazing way with nature so may be a little care and lots of money would save it. But the owner was seeking for poor Turkish and Russian tourists so thats why it ended up this way. I'd like to see this place when it was fully operated but obviously, I won't.
I suggest you visit the "Çakmak defense line" around Istanbul.
Cheesy, but impressive.
Aaa Türkiye’ye gelmişler ! 😍 İzlemeyi en sevdiğim kanal. Harikasınız.
So how many languages of graffiti are you fluent in? The Russian was very impressive.
