About Kayakoy (Ghost Town)
When you exit Fethiye to Hisarönü, you will head in the right direction through the pine trees towards Kayaköy. As you explore Kayakoy, you will come across narrow alleys, old stone houses, churches and chapels lined with pine, pomegranate and fig trees, all offering extraordinary historical views.
A Greek village of 3,500 houses before the War of Independence, Kayaköy was abandoned in the post-war migration. The Turks who came from the Balkans and settled here preferred the plain and the village fell into disrepair.
The ruins near the road to Kayaköy are believed to belong to the Temple of Apollo in Telmessos. On the hill behind the city are the ruins of the castle of the Knights of St John.
