Kayakoy Taxi Stand, Kayakoy (tuistravel.com - Kayakoy Taxi Stand) Fethiye, The history of Kayakoy Ruins, which is located 8 kilometers south of Fethiye and known as Karmylassos in Antiquity, goes back to the 3rd millennium BC according to philological data.
Kayaköy or formerly Levissi (Greek: Λειβίσσι, Greek: Καρμυλησσός Karmilissos) is a well-known neighborhood in the Fethiye district of Muğla.
Kayaköy from each other consists of two very different residential areas. The first of these; Although it is a relatively recent settlement based on the slopes, established at the beginning of the 19th century and having an important place in tourism, in the last periods of the Ottoman Empire, it reached the size of a town with a population of 3000, all Greek, and its former name was Livissi. Even though the houses were destroyed by the 1957 Fethiye Earthquake, it attracts the attention of tourists with its lively museum quality. The other is Kayı Village, which has been mentioned in Ottoman cadastral records since 1512. There are records of Turkmens belonging to the Kayı tribe of the Oghuzes settled in the region, especially in the cadastral register number 39. There are big and small churches and fourteen chapels among the places to visit in Kayaköy. There is also a pottery workshop (Çömlekhane) next to the small church. It is about forty minutes to go to Soğuk Su Bay, which can only be reached by sea or on foot, from the small church road. With the population exchange that took place in 1923, while the Greeks living in Levissi migrated to Greece, immigrants from Thessaloniki and its surroundings settled in Kayaköy.
The history of Kayaköy Ruins, which is located 8 kilometers south of Fethiye and known as Karmylassos in Antiquity, goes back to the 3rd millennium BC according to philological data. No finds dating back to the 4th century BC have been found in the ruins yet. All of the building groups that we observe based on the slope in the city were built by the Greeks who settled in the late periods of the Ottoman Empire.
During the foundation years of the Republic of Turkey, the city has taken on the appearance of a ghost city after the wooden door, window and top cover systems of the structures in the city, which were evacuated as a result of the exchange of Greeks living in the region with the Turks in western Thrace, were destroyed by natural factors.
In the abandoned city, there are two-storey houses, each of which is not larger than 50 square meters, do not block each other in terms of view and light, and the lower floors are usually cellars. At the entrances of the houses, there are underground cisterns where the rain water on the roof is collected. In addition to the houses, there are many chapels, 2 large churches, 1 school building and 1 customs house in the region.
