Kayaköy Ghost Town
Now here’s a really fascinating discovery - apparently there is a ghost town, now preserved as an open museum, near Olu Deniz.
It looks quite remarkable:
According to the Wikipedia, it became deserted after a population exchange in 1923, I presume from hostilities after World War 1.
Apparently the village was built from around 1700, so not a really ancient site, but definitely something I’ll be adding to my visitor list.
In the meantime, here’s a link on Google Images to more scenes of Kayakoy - and here’s some on Flickr.
