We walked here from Hisaronu, it took about an hour. You'd be better getting the bus and saving your energy for exploring. The site has 2000 houses, churches, chapels and shops all deserted after the Turks made the local Greek residents an exceptionally good offer to leave. The guide says the reasons are too complicated to explain but I think... More

A fascinating but sad abandoned town. A memorial to the stupidity of nationalist politicians. This town used to be a thriving Greek town before the transfer of populations in the 20's. There are a couple of good restaurants there now and Turks have occupied parts of the town.

This is an abandoned Greek city, when in 1924 it's Greek inhabitants were forcibly deported back to Greece, never to return.

We had one of our nicest days visiting Kaya Koy. There are two ticket offices, one at the beginning of the village, and the other at the end. The views and ruins are spectacular! There's also a wonderful restaurant with outdoor seating just across the road from the ticket office. We had Turkish coffee before our walk, then pancakes filled... More
