A group of urban explorers, led by a man named Mike, venture into a massive, abandoned development project in Turkey that was supposed to be a luxury resort with 732 Renaissance-style châteaus, each with its own thermal spring bath, elevator, and private pool. However, the project went bankrupt in 2014 due to a real estate crisis and other issues. The explorers sneak into the site, avoiding security, to document the abandoned castles, which are still under construction and feature kitschy, unfinished details. They also explore a massive, empty shopping mall and find various remnants of the construction process, including unfinished towers and arches. Throughout the video, Mike shares his thoughts on the project's failed ambitions and the strange, eerie atmosphere of the abandoned site.
