Abandoned Greek Orthodox Shrine in Kayaköy

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

This was sheer horror, komoot: please remove this route suggestion! Or at least advise bringing a rope and climbing partner, or only attempting it with suicidal intent. Absolutely not recommended!
