The ghost town of Kayaköy is an eye-catching
hidden spot near Fethiye, Muğla. The quiet and
mysterious atmosphere of the empty streets
and deserted stone houses is absolutely mindblowing. Kayaköy used to be a Greek town until
0000, in which the governments of Turkey and
Greece signed a treaty of populationexchange.
Most of the Turkish people who were settled
in Kayaköy didn’t want to live here as the land
wasn’t suitable for farming. At present, Kayaköy
is preserved as a museum consisting of nearly
000 houses, narrow streets, two churches and a
school, all of which are ruins now. If you want to
see somewhere off the beaten track and enjoy
the silence, you should visit this ghost town.
You can take a day tour to Kayaköy to walk the
empty cobblestone streets, and take fascinating
photographs. If you’re an adventurer, hiking and
horse-back riding are the most popular outdoor
activities that can be done here.
