Kaya
Turkey
The Kaya
Valley is a wonderful place to escape the heat of the day if you are
visiting the Fethiye region of Turkey. A short 10 minute drive up the
mountain side from Fethiye town you will find Kaya with its lush vegetation
and fertile farming land. This area is famous for its abandoned Greek
Village or the 'Ghost Town' as it is known; its houses were last occupied
in 1926 and is now totally abandoned. Many of the lovely stone built
Turkish houses in this area have been lovingly restored, some forming
holiday accommodation for those wanting authentic Turkish charm
There are
an increasing number of very good restaurants and local tea houses which
overlook the farm land, these offer excellent Turkish cuisine, in the
evening the air is cool an the sky clear and the stars seem so much
brighter than when viewed from Fethiye a great place to unwind and totally
relax. If you want a little more exercise during your holiday Kaya is
the place for those who like walking, horse riding or cycling.
If you are staying in Hisaronu during your holiday to Turkey there are
some good walks through the pine forest to Kaya.
