Exploring Kayak�y

Kayak�y, Turkey
It felt a little eerie walking through this abandoned "rock village," about 8 km outside Fethiye.

Just hundreds of empty houses, a couple of churches and an old fortress remain of this former Greek settlement. In 1923, Kayak�y was abandoned because of the population exchange between Greece and Turkey.

Now, a few of the outer houses look like they have been reclaimed by local residents. There's also several small cafes, restaurants and a few pansyions to relax at or even stay at after you've explored the village.

We spent more than 2 hours here today, so I will have lots more photos to post soon. Well worth the drive out of the city to explore.

Stay tuned!
