Fodor's Expert Review Kayaköy

Spread across three hills, the old Greek town of Levissi—called Kayaköy, or "stone village," by the Turks—is atmospheric and eerily quiet. It had a population of about 2,000 before residents of Greek origin were "sent home" in 1923 to a motherland they had never known. Today, you can wander through crumbling cube houses reminiscent of those in the Greek Islands, some with a touch of bright Mediterranean blue or red still visible on the walls. There are two large churches and many chapels, as well as several schools and a fountain house. From the chapel on the hill at the southwest corner, a path leads down to the remote beach of Cold Water Bay (Soğuk Su Koyu), a 30-minute walk. You can also hike from here to Ölüdeniz Beach on a short (6 km/4 mile), steep, marked trail with dramatic views of green hills and turquoise bays.
