The ruins will be interesting to history lovers and lovers of hiking in the mountains, there is nothing interesting for children there, it is definitely necessary to stock up on water and comfortable shoes. If you want to live in historical restored unique rooms with preserved architecture frescoes and paintings of that time, then definitely Villa Podima ...
Good afternoon, everyone.
A great place with a ghost town left by the Greeks about 100 years ago.
The buildings have been preserved , in a fairly good appearance.
Great views from above.
The remains of the church .
For lovers of non-ancient ruins, I recommend it.
Ordinary ruins, one plus, if you climb to the top , then a beautiful view for a photo, that's all, the entrance is 3 euros , if you go by minibus , they go every hour , so the driver said , but in fact arrived after 1.30 full , at first they did not climb , but the thought that waiting for the next one is still a minimum hour like that's not ice :) he pushed his wife in and pushed the foreigners aside and got in himself ;))
There are many destroyed houses.The most interesting thing is the lower church, but it is now closed for repairs and the upper church.There is another church on the neighboring mountain, it has not been reached.Before climbing to the upper church, there is a left turn towards the sea, there is a hiking route with signs
The ruins of a once large city where several thousand people lived. There is a dwelling on the mountain, but to climb to it, you need to make some effort. It's worth it. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the whole city, on one side and the sea on the other.
I think anyone who visits here will not regret it.
A very unusual place, a little depressing... But it's worth a visit! If you are vacationing in Oludeniz and are not afraid to walk, it is better to go there on foot, breathtaking views open from the height!!!
The ghost town, which was deserted in the 1920s after its inhabitants, ethnic Greeks, were deported during the "exchange of peoples" after the Greco-Turkish war. The blue whitewash inside the rooms and the unusual corner stoves have been preserved. You can get lost in the maze of narrow winding streets. This place evokes ambiguous emotions. Entrance is paid, in May 2023 it cost 40 liras.

A very unusual place! There is a path to the church on the mountain. I advise you to get up. View of both the city and the sea. In order not to pay for the entrance, you can go away from the path and go higher through the ruins. There are many land turtles.
There is not much to do here, but a very beautiful mountain path to Oldeniz begins from here and it is best to start the journey from here, since then it is expensive downhill for the most part. The path is not the easiest
The village itself is a monument to the population exchange between Greece and Turkey after the WWII. Not equipped
Unfortunately, the two largest and most interesting churches are firmly closed, they cannot even be approached. It's atmospheric, you just have to walk alone, it's good to go up to the chapel on the mountain (near), there is another one at the very top for individual lovers. There are two entrances, we entered through the far one. Well, they used it as a starting point for a hike along the Lycian trail, which should be discussed separately.

This is a great place to see the ancient dwelling of the Greeks. There is also a farm where there are sheep, horses, turkeys, rabbits. And walk through the ruins. True, the ancient church is closed here, but it's still very interesting!
The place is getting dirty. I want to wander between the ruins of houses for hours. Imagine the lives of people who previously inhabited this city. Water collection tanks, stoves in houses and much more are visible... I recommend you to visit.
An interesting place. It can be seen that there was a fairly large settlement. It is interesting to walk along the old streets with destroyed houses. The views are picturesque.
We lived in Oludeniz and decided to go Kayaking on our own. How to get there: we stand facing the beach of Belgekiz, go along the embankment to the right. We reach the fork: on the left there are turnstiles that lead to the "Blue Lagoon", and you walk along the street that goes to the right. The street runs along the hotels. Sometimes it goes down, sometimes it goes up. By the way, there are sometimes trips to the Blue Lagoon on it. They are steep and not very comfortable, but you can swim. We reached the end of this street (it took about 30-40 minutes to walk) – there is the Sun City Beach hotel (you can ride a catamaran there). If you go from the Sun City Beach Hotel up to the right into the mountains along a rolled path, and not to the left to the sea, then you will find a sign that says "Kayak 4 km", climb up into the mountains, follow the marks on the stones and you will get to the "Ancient Kayak City". It is an amazing 3 hour walk into the mountains with unforgettable views. I highly recommend it to active travelers. Due to the fact that the trail goes up and down, it is not very easy to walk, but you can relax on the rocks in the shade of the trees. Take plenty of water. Of course, there is a tent with ice cream and water in the city itself, and maybe even a cafe somewhere. Bonus: you come from the side of the mountains and do not pay for admission. We caught a minibus back and arrived with a transfer to Oludenez in 20 minutes. for 4.25 lire each.
A ghost town near Fethiye. It was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century, and later it was destroyed by an earthquake. Now the Turkish authorities are not caring for the city, they are not restoring anything, they are only collecting money for admission. The place is amazing, you can wander for hours through the abandoned overgrown streets. From the city, you can walk along hiking trails to several different points.
