In general, ghost towns are normally old towns and cities that were emptied because of natural or human-caused disasters or failed economic activity. But how come that a new-brand city became a ghost town? You’ll see it after the jump.

A Paradise That Became a Ghost Town (31 pics)

This is what is left of Gagra, a resort city on the Black Sea coast.

With its climate close to subtropical, Gagra was a popular health resort in Imperial and Soviet Russia among Russian elite. It was a paradise with its pleasant climate, a royal palace and a number of buildings in an eclectic variety of styles from around Europe. The park that surrounded the resort was also very popular with tropical trees and even parrots and monkeys imported to give it an exotic feel.

But the war between Abkhazia (political entity within Georgia which status is disputed) and Georgia in 1992-1993 deserted the place making it all ruins and a ghost town.

As can be seen in these photos, it seems everywhere you look in this town there are bears. These bears seem to be naturally inquisitive and are usually in to everything. It would appear that these bears have managed to stay out of trouble.. so far.

Wow, one Latvian town is on sale for some 323 thousand dollars…
You can pay by instalments for ten years for a small town with 70 different houses and buildings, among which there are ten residential buildings with 551 apartments, hotel, clinic, hospital, kindergarten, club, post office, boiler house, water tower, garages plus underground bunkers and shelters in case of nuclear war.
The authorities of Latvia decided to take this step because of the hard consequences of the global financial crisis.
So, would anyone like to buy it? ;))

Apparently, this is a commercial or a clip. In any case, to make so much foam - it's really cool, I would be more than happy to dive in it.
