Kayakoy Ancient Site Walk (5 km)

Abandoned Village of Kayakoy - Kayakoy is a ghost village steeped in history. Formerly known as Levissi, it was a bustling Greek settlement until the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey.

The village was then deserted, leaving behind more than 500 stone houses, two historic churches, and several chapels scattered across the hillside. These silent, weathered structures narrate tales of a once-thriving community.

Today, Kayakoy serves as an open-air museum, providing visitors with a glimpse into the past amidst stunning views of the surrounding valleys and distant sea. The village is a popular stop along the Lycian Way, drawing history enthusiasts, photographers, and travelers seeking tranquility. Kayakoy remains a poignant reminder of cultural heritage and the historical impacts on communities.
