The village is the perfect place to walk (1km to centre) and explore, with a majestic pine tree-lined landscape and the dramatic views of the deserted Greek village, Levissi. There are traditional cafes to stop for lunch and drinks and a couple of BBQ restaurants, where you can sit at classic Turkish tables and sample different mezes or the Turkish Gozleme, pancakes. Visit the old houses and chapels and high-on-the-hill monastery of Afkule in the ghost village with spectacular views. The nearest beach is Soguksu Cove. It’s possible to hike to this natural swimming spot from the abandoned village of Kayaköy, following the Lycian Way Trail, a series of marked tracks that leads from the south of the village. The cove has a small pebbly beach, and there’s a restaurant there offering a house speciality of wild boar stew. For the less adventurous he secluded bay of Gemiler is a short drive away. It’s a lovely place to swim, snorkel or relax. Facing the bay is Gemiler Island, which is well worth visiting for its archaeological ruins. You can take a boat trip there from Soguksu Cove. From Kayaköy, you can easily explore more of the surrounds. There’s a Dolmus (local bus) stopping just 300 metres from outside the villa, and it goes to the lively towns of Fethiye, Ölüdeniz and Hisaronu. Fethiye is known for its scenic natural harbour, blue waters and numerous rock tombs including the 4th-century B.C. Tomb of Amyntas, carved into a bluff and overlooking the city. There are shops and markets in the city for picking up everything from homemade rugs to fresh produce. For more outdoor adventuring, you could visit Butterfly Valley which is home to a myriad of beautiful butterflies, the ancient ruined Lycian hilltop citadel Tlos or Saklikent Gorge, a dramatic natural feature just outside of Fethiye. In Ölüdeniz, 15km south of Fethiye, there’s a nature reserve with a calm lagoon and curved beach, popular for paragliding, swimming and scuba diving.
