4. Kayaköy, Turkey

Nestled in the hills of southwestern Turkey, Kayaköy was once a vibrant Greek community until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 left it abandoned. Rows of weathered stone houses and two beautiful churches now stand silent, their walls echoing with memories of daily life. Preserved as an open-air museum, Kayaköy invites visitors to wander its quiet lanes and reflect on the profound impact of migration and cultural change. Explore more
