🇹🇷The History of the Ghost Town of Kayakoy, Fethiye, Turkey

Kayakoy Ghost Village near Fethiye. The village was a bit bigger than I thought, but it was full of abandoned buildings where no one lived. The stories about Kayakoy go like this. Some say that during the Greek-Ottoman war, the Greeks who had moved here were massacred by the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), and after that, ghosts began to appear in the village and everyone left, or that after the war, the Greeks were deported to Greece in large numbers, leaving only the village. In any case, Kayakoy, which had been left empty for a long time, definitely had a gloomy feeling. It must have been scary to walk around every corner alone. The old empty houses were gloomy and a bit sad, but the natural scenery behind them was beautiful and open, so I was amazed the whole time I was going up. The road up to the top was a little rough, but it took about 20-30 minutes if you climbed slowly. If you go to Kayakoy, you should definitely climb to the top of the village. You could see the village scenery at a glance from above and the vast Mediterranean Sea!! #Overseas travel #World travel #Turkiye #Turkey #Turkey travel destination recommendation #Fethiye #Kayakoy #Fethiye travel #Kayakoy
