Kayaköy Ghost Town
Kayaköy (Levissi)
A village of Greek residents abandoned after the 1923 population exchange. Hundreds of stone house ruins cover the hillside.
Kayaköy, formerly known as Levissi, was a town of Greek Orthodox residents. After the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the residents left, leaving about 500 roofless stone houses and two churches. The ruins across the hillside give it the feel of a ghost town.
You can follow a path up the slope for a panoramic view, then walk about 2 hours down the Lycian Way to Ölüdeniz.
It is about 8 km from Fethiye. Admission is charged, and allow about 1.5 hours for a visit.
