[2025 Kayakoy Attraction] Travel Guide for Abandoned Village of Kayaköy (Updated Apr)

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

This time I came to Fethiye and a local friend took me to this ghost town. It has super many photo spots, you can play like a maze, inside is very big, its caves are beautiful ❤️💯

I didnt know that there was this place before Feiset, and it was also a surprise outside the itinerary. The locals called KAYAKOY a ghost town. There is no one living here. The small town that has been abandoned for thousands of years, the size of the city is very large, the ancient Greeks Living in this city, and later because of the war between Turkey and Greece, the Greeks abandoned the city and returned to Greece, and no one came to live. Faithiette locals know this place, but few people have come, asked the staff of the tourist information office, the bus stop next to the mosque can go to KAYAKOY, the number of shifts is very small, We waited for an hour before the car arrived. It was almost dark in the ghost town. KAYAKOY was actually on the other side of the Dead Sea town. There was a hiking route from the Dead Sea to KAYAKOY. It took about five or six hours to experience the ghost town. The size of the ghost town is amazing. There are 300-500 stone houses, which are very well preserved. I don't know why the local area has not developed this place. It is definitely worth more than many monuments. A lot of stone ladder roads have been damaged. Be careful when you go. When you think about it, you may have high development costs. The area is so large. If it is repaired, it is also a big project. There is a church on the top of the mountain, but I dont know if its a low season or a holiday, its closed. Gradually, its dark, theres no one in the ghost town, a little scared. Go down the hill and go back to the roadside. Wait for the bus to go back. Fortunately, I will wait for a while, and the minibus will come. This visit was very hasty, many places did not come, I hope to have the opportunity to come down again and experience the ancient city style of the next millennium.
