Kayaköy Archaeological Site
Although the history of Kayaköy, which is located 8 km south of Fethiye and which had been called ?Karmylassos? in the antiquity, goes back to the 3rd millennium BC according to philological data, no find dating from periods earlier than the 4th century BC has been unearthed yet, considering the three sarcophagi found in Gökçeburun, Kayaköy.

GÖRÜLMESI GEREKENLER
Nowadays, Kayaköy attracts interest mainly because of the Greek city, which had been founded on the slopes south of the plain called the ?Kaya Çukuru? (Rock Gulch), and which became a ghost town at the end of the population exchange between Greece and Turkey following the Turkish War of Independence.
All of the building groups of the city leaning against the slope were constructed by the Greeks who had been settled here in the second half of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century in accordance with the rights granted to the minorities in the later periods of the Ottoman Empire. The city was emptied because of the exchange of the Greeks living in this region with the Turks living in Western Thrace during the foundation period of the Republic of Turkey, and the deterioration of wooden doors, windows and upper coverings of the buildings due to natural forces has made the city a ghost town.
Kayaköy is generously waiting for you with its natural and historical assets and with all of its mysterious appearance.
