City of History: Kayakoy
Kayaköy, once a Greek town with its lively streets, stone houses, and churches, is today a fascinating open-air museum bearing the traces of the past. This unique settlement, one of the important points of Lycian civilization with its deep-rooted history dating back to 3000 BC, was called Livissi during the Ottoman period and continued its existence as a lively town in the early 20th century. Abandoned to its fate after the population exchange in 1922, Kayaköy today takes its visitors on a journey through time with its historical texture.

Kayaköy is worth discovering not only for its history but also for its atmosphere intertwined with nature.
