Wander hundreds of silent stone houses in Turkey's famous ghost village — ~60 min from Dalaman Airport, private transfer from €32 fixed.
Kayaköy is one of Turkey's most haunting places: a hillside town of several hundred roofless stone houses and two large Greek Orthodox churches, abandoned almost overnight in the 1923 Greece–Turkey population exchange. Once the thriving Greek town of Levissi, it now stands silent above the pine forests — a protected museum-village where you wander cobbled lanes past empty chapels and courtyards reclaimed by fig trees. It inspired Louis de Bernières' novel Birds Without Wings, and a scenic trail crosses the hill to Ölüdeniz. Getting there is easy: Kayaköy lies 8 km from Fethiye and about 55 km from Dalaman Airport (DLM). A private SooTransfer takes around 60 minutes door-to-door at a fixed price from €32 — you're met in arrivals with a name sign, no haggling, no changes.
Vaste prijs in EUR voor een privé Eco Van (tot 6 gasten) — grotere Vito- en V-Class-opties beschikbaar bij het boeken.
Retour bevat tot 6 u wachttijd.
SooTransfer drives the ~55 km from Dalaman Airport (DLM) to Kayaköy in about 60 minutes, from €32 per vehicle — a fixed price agreed in advance, paid on arrival. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and tracks your flight; waiting time and child seats are free.
Public buses mean changing in Fethiye and then a local dolmuş — easily 2+ hours with luggage. Airport taxis run on the meter, so the price is uncertain, and tours move on their schedule, not yours. A private transfer is door-to-door at a fixed price from €32, leaves the moment you land and stops where you like.
Most visitors spend 1.5–2 hours wandering the ruins and churches. Add the hilltop trail towards Ölüdeniz and a village lunch and it fills a wonderful half day.
Yes — it's a protected museum-village with a small entry fee of a few euros, payable in lira. It's open daily, roughly 08:30 to 19:30 in summer and shorter hours in winter.
Easily — Kayaköy is just 8 km from Fethiye and right beside Ölüdeniz; a walking trail even links village and lagoon. With a private transfer you can build a multi-stop day: ruins in the morning, Blue Lagoon in the afternoon, dinner in Fethiye.
