"Kayadorp, experience a piece of Turkish history in charming Kayaköy"

Just on the other side of the mountains a few kilometers from Fethiye is Kayadorp or Kayaköy which means Rock Village in Dutch. We rent villas in this beautiful area in the middle of nature. Here you can really relax. In the area there are several restaurants where you can eat delicious gözleme (Turkish pancake), relax enjoy a real Turkish breakfast or have a barbecue at your own table in the evening at restaurant Cin Bal.

One of the major attractions of Kayadorp is the old antique city built against the mountains. The history of this old dilapidated village is very interesting.

On the remains of Lebessus, a city of ancient Lycia (640), Livissi, the current Kayaköy (in Greek, Karmylassos) was built in the 18th century. There are still Lycian tombs to be found. The city consisted of about 3500 buildings including two large Byzantine churches, 19 chapels, two schools and a hospital. The houses are built against the mountainside and all have a view over the beautiful valley. It was home to as many as 2,000 Greek Orthodox Christians in the 1900s, until it was abandoned in 1923. The fallout of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire led to the start of the Greco-Turkish War (1919- 1922). The loss of the Greeks ended with violence and retaliation, often aimed at the remaining Greek Orthodox community within the new Turkish borders, and in turn against the Muslim Turks in Greece. Hundreds of thousands of Greeks fled the violence in Turkey. On January 30, 1923, the mutually obligatory population exchange treaty was applied. This stated that all Greeks living in Turkey had to go back to their country and the Turks living in Greece would go back to Turkey. Where once the Greek inhabitants of Kayaköy lived peacefully with their Turkish neighbours, this has now been brought to an end by the agreement between the Greek and Turkish governments.

In both Greece and Turkey, however, the events are seen as a great tragedy. In both countries, many hundreds of abandoned villages are scattered in the landscape and the regions concerned suffered a major setback in economic development. The Greeks from Kayaköy had to go to Greece, which was struggling to find space for the nearly 200,000 refugees.
