Kayaköy is a ghost town some 8 km away from Fethiye. "It consists of hundreds of rundown but still mostly intact Greek-style
houses and churches which cover a small mountainside... After the Greco-Turkish War,
Kayaköy was largely abandoned after a population exchange agreement was signed by the Turkish and Greek governments in 1923."
(source: Wikipedia) Between the ruins plants grow relatively unhindered and their flowers attract many insects.
So apart from the cultural-historical perspective, Kayaköy is an interesting place to visit for nature as well.
