A visit to the deserted village of Kaya (the rock) is an experience not to be missed. It can be reached by dolmuş from Fethiye (15 km) or on foot from Ölüdeniz (8 km). Its 3,500 houses were originally inhabited by Greeks. In 1923, after the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey, its 25,000 inhabitants had to leave, and the Turks from Greece never wanted to settle there. The city became a ghost town. Note the two churches.

Triste mémoire mais visite fascinante
Un de ces sites qui rappellent les drames historiques du vingtième siècle en Europe. Ici l'épuration ethnique de 1923 qui a contraint tous les habitants grecs de cette bourgade a quitter la Turquie. Une visite troublante de ces dizaines de maisons sans toiture, avec deux églises, une école, un fort... Très proche de Fethiye, un étrange voyage dans l'histoire de la Mer Egée. A ne pas manquer si l'on passe dans la région.

Incroyable site que ce village grec (Levissi ? Karmylassos ?) abandonné par ses habitants suite à la guerre gréco-turque de 1922 et au premier double nettoyage ethnique qui s'en est suivi... On ne se doute pas en arrivant depuis la route, mais c'est un très grand village, un bourg quoique il n'y ait pas de route, juste des chemins de mule en pierres. Toutes les façades nues, sans fenêtre et sans toit, qui se dressent sur la colline laissent une impression d'après le cataclysme... Etonnant ! Ne manquez pas la forteresse qui se dresse au centre du village, l'église du XVIIe siècle (fermée pour restauration) et les petites chapelles sur les sommets qui offrent des vues à couper le souffle. Entrée modique : 5 livres turques.
