Kayakoy

These are some more of my Turkish photo's.
Kayakoy is a Turkish village which was inhabited by Greeks until the Turks kicked them out in 1923.


It has been deserted ever since.

There are apparently 3,500 houses there (and a church).

It looks very spectacular and beautiful and sounds a very interesting place to visit.

I wonder why no-one lives there.
A great place to explore by the looks of it.

Very beautiful photos. How sad that it has been abandoned all this time. It looks like it was a lovely place to live, but it must have felt a little spooky going through all those empty buildings.

...these ruins are beautiful and to think it all came to an end in 1923...seems such a waste.

There are too many places to go and see. . .
