Kayaköy, located in the Fethiye district of Muğla, is a historical village that dates back to the ancient settlement of Karmylassos and was home to a large Greek population until the 20th century. With its stone houses spread over the hillsides, narrow streets and mystical atmosphere, it is considered one of the most impressive ghost towns in Turkey. Kayaköy was abandoned when the Greek population migrated to Greece during the Turkey-Greece Population Exchange in 1923. Since then, it has remained silent and standing like an open-air museum. Among the main structures to be seen in Kayaköy are the abandoned Greek houses (approximately 3500 stone houses, they do not have roofs because the wooden sections have rotted over time), Taksiyarhis Church (the largest church in the village, attracting attention with its frescoes and stonework), Panagia Pirgiotissa Church (located at a point dominating the view), old school buildings, fountains and chapels, and nature walking routes from Kayaköy to Ölüdeniz. Kayaköy, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List, offers an atmosphere intertwined with history, culture and nature, giving its visitors the opportunity to take a historical journey. With its quiet streets, stone walls and unspoiled texture, it is a fascinating destination for both photographers and history lovers.
