weekly photo challenge: abandoned
We really couldn’t go past the ghost town of Kayakoy in Turkey for the Weekly Photo Challenge . This was an Anatolian village inhabited by approximately 2000 Greeks, who abandoned the village in 1923 to return to Greece. Kayakoy is about 8 km out of Fethiye.

I know the story of the Anatolian Greeks in Turkey, but I’ve never been there. How sad and beautiful. I’m adding that stretch of coastline to my bucket list! Thanks for sharing!

Wow – such a pretty place! It’s hard to believe it was just abandoned!

It was very pretty and so serene. As we understand, it was an agreement between the Turkish and Greek governments after their war to exchange their citizens…. it didn’t sound like the people had much say in the matter.
