Kaya Koy

This village was once occupied by over 6,000 Greeks, but they were forced to leave in 1926 due to the policies of the new government. The Turks never moved in to the abandoned buildings, believing them to be unlucky, and now the entire village remains as an eerie ghost town, a relic of a troubled past. The story of the village was the basis for Luis de Bernieres Birds Without Wings , and it is one of the most unusual sights to see in Turkey.
