8 km south of Fethiye, Kayaköy looks like a ghost village, but is also an open-air museum.

My suggestion

If you want to walk around the abandoned houses, make sure you wear stout shoes because the paths are steep and overgrown.

My suggestion

Though there are some high-quality hotels located at the entrance to the abandoned village, I would advise you instead to stay in Fethiye a few tens of kilometers away.
