Best Hikes to Abandoned Greek Orthodox Shrine in Kayaköy

Tips

  • Around the period of World War I, the Greeks of Levissi/Kayaköy were ethnically cleansed then forcibly expelled in 1922. Their homes have remained vacant ever since. In 1957 an earthquake damaged a large portion of the homes leaving them in their current state.This small Orthodox shrine probably was for the protection of the fishermen and sailors.
