About Kayaköy

Kayaköy, also known as Levissi, is a hauntingly beautiful ghost town nestled in the mountains near Fethiye. Once a thriving Greek village, it was abandoned in the early 20th century following the population exchange between Turkey and Greece. Today, Kayaköy stands as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, with its hundreds of deserted stone houses, churches, and schools.

Visitors can wander through the maze of empty streets, exploring the crumbling buildings and imagining the lives of those who once called Kayaköy home. The village offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. It's a place of both serenity and melancholy, offering a unique opportunity to reflect on history and the passage of time.
