Kayaköy
Kayaköy, part of Fethiye, is a striking open-air museum known as a 'ghost village' for the stone houses among the olive groves, emptied in the 1923 population exchange. With its abandoned churches, narrow stone lanes and the historic path down to Ölüdeniz, it is a unique stop for walking and photography.
