Central America? South America? Southern Europe? (thinking there's too much green for that but not sure) - so... no real idea yet

Second picture looks like it could be a plaza in a Latin American city.

First one looks high altitude/mountainous to me

gonna go out on a limb and guess this is Argentina
I thought Arentina wasn't very mountainous & I'm looking around in Chile, kind of
― StanM, Friday, 27 August 2021 18:40 (three years ago) link
Argentina has lots of mountains. The street view could plausibly be Mendoza but I donβt recognise it.

I don't know either but you get way cooler images if you search on yandex for "abandoned pier south america" than on google.

abandoned resorts are often an Eastern block thing, but this looks too tropical

That looks like a stadium in the background. I'm getting a Mediterranean vibe from this pic.

Talked myself into thinking this was Malta but couldn't find matches for the images in Valetta at any rate

That's a docked cruise ship back there, right?

Fading resort town with palm trees, but guys in first photo look more East European than Mediterranean, and guys in last photo are well wrapped up as if it's pretty cold. Was initially thinking Argentina, but the buildings don't look that South American. Maybe somewhere on the Black Sea? Sochi or somewhere like that? Don't think it's a docked cruise ship btw, I think it's a building.
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 01:51 (three years ago) link
Hmm: "While it is well known to many that lots of palms grow in Sochi, Russia, it is not the only place in the country where palms are found."

Sadly, time does not permit my checking out every resort town on the Black Sea...
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 04:08 (three years ago) link
Black Sea feels good as a guess - buildings shaped like ships on concrete piers are certainly a thing there: for instance https://www.google.be/maps/@42.9962529,41.0214901,3a,75y,356.33h,89.14t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipMv4dL-ZVQX7xicMc03OWV1PnHhdr53JIIS5cso!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMv4dL-ZVQX7xicMc03OWV1PnHhdr53JIIS5cso%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya129.18877-ro-0-fo100!7i8192!8i4096

SO many resorts on that coast though! I feel like I've seen 200 piers and I'm only like 5% of the way

I think you found it, StanM. Just a bit further up the beach.

Reading about Sukhumi, apparently the destination for Soviet leaders dachas, now capital of Abkhazia, how much more "abandoned Eastern block resort" can you get than that? Nice choice.

All of our Guess The Citys from now on should be in "frozen conflict" zones. Next up, guess where in Transnistria!

I see where view III is supposed to be but I don't think the blue dot is where it should be.

I don't know if it's all that faded really, seems pretty lively on Instagram
Didn't expect it to be particularly big, but it's a fair bit smaller than Asheville or Kamloops

Looks like it could be the back of a major city train station. Building on the right looks kind of Middle European. Ashtrays on tables are a bit of a rarity these days, maybe somewhere East European?

the chimneys though... factory in a city?

are those chimneys though? thought it may be a tower of some sort behind, hard to judge the scale.
