Kayakoy – Turkey

This small Turkish town sits 8km south of Fethiye in the Lycia province. According to sources, its entire Indigenous population was moved to Greece after being expelled by the Ottoman Empire. The town today is deserted – leaving 350 buildings completely empty and neglected since 1914.

Moss and ivy have made them home now, with no humans spending time there. It is unsure if Turkey has plans to restore Kayakoy into a new town or to keep it how it is. What do you think they should do with it?
