Kayaköy
Spread across three hills, the old town of Levissi—called Kayaköy, or "stone village," by the Turks—is eerily quiet. It had a population of about 2,000 before the residents (of Greek origin) were "sent home" in 1923—to a motherland they had never known. Today, you can wander through the crumbling houses which nature is slowly consuming—some with touches of blue or red wall paint still visible. 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 Soğuk Su Koyu (Cold Water Bay), 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.
