Begin today by walking through the ruins of Levissi (also known as the ghost town of Kayakoy). This once bustling Greek settlement nestled against the Taurus mountains was abandoned in the 1920’s for political reasons, and walking through its abandoned streets makes for quite an experience.
From Kayakoy, make your way to the sparkling waters of the blue lagoon at Olu Deniz. Catch your first glimpse of the blue lagoon from the Lycian Way high above, one of the most famous sights on the Lycian Way.
Leaving Olu Deniz, you have the option of taking a taxi or a dolmus back to Kayakoy (paid locally).
