Greece's abandoned factories show how painful the country's seven-year depression has been

Greece has been hammered since the financial crisis in 2008.

The economy is now about a quarter smaller than it was before the crash, shrinking by about as much as the United States' did in the Great Depression.

Greece's shattered factories are one of the most obvious and brutal symbols of the seven years of pain the country has now endured.

Photographer Yannis Behrakis has toured the country's empty and crumbling industrial buildings. Much of it had been left to rot even before the current crisis began.
