TRAVEL - To gosttown Kayaköy (Karmylassos) in Turkey

If you are on vacation or to visit family in Turkey or you want to show your new lover Turkey, go and visit the gosttown Kayaköy ( Karmylassos ). I recommended this trip. If you like culture and tranquility this is the ideal place to be . You can not just sniff culture here but there are plenty of eating and sleeping to spend your vacation.

A short history about Kayaköy

Kayaköy (Rock village) occur at the beginning of the 14th century, is located a few kilometers south of the popular seaside town of Fethiye and in the time of the Romans and Greeks first named Lebessos and later Lebessus and later Livissi . The village was abandoned by Greek residents who returned to Greece in the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in 1923. The village currently looks very left out of the ruins and the almost intact houses and churches , but in the winter it is even bleaker than you come in spring or summer. This village is also considered one of the cultural heritages of the world. I even thought that the governement intends to rent the village for 49 years under one condition that the village is being restored. It has turned into an important cultural center where every summer festivals and international events. Unfortunately, I have not experienced one of these events in the past 7 years .

 Restaurants, Hotels, etc.

Of course, this town does not only exist without the necessary tourist facilities such as restaurants, souvenir shops , cafes and bars. Below a photo impression of some that I spotted and that were open at that time.

Flowers and herbs

When I was there it was a shower of green and young flowers. It was spring and you can smell the aroma of all the flowers and herbs. But I photographed were so beautiful . Everywhere you smell the scent of thyme and other herbs.

Cameltour

The only thing I saw is that you could do a camel tour . Not that it really worked with the animal -;))

These were still some pictures and issues that I had for Turkey. For the common years, other countries I want to discover which are even better and give more joy. Keep following my blog page.
