Kayaköy, Fethiye District – Turkey
Kayaköy, nestled in the Fethiye district of Turkey, offers a different kind of ghost town experience. Once a thriving community of Greek Christians, it was abandoned in the 1920s due to population exchanges between Greece and Turkey. Today, this abandoned stone village with its hundreds of deserted houses and churches, provides a poignant glimpse into a past community’s life. It’s a reflective space for understanding cultural shifts and the impact of political decisions on ordinary lives.
