Starting my walk in Fethiye,I walked 10kms to Kayakoy.Enjoyed warm hospitability of these nice guys here. Fresh orange juice,meat balls and coffee put me on my tired legs again. I left my heavy backpack watched in the bar and set off to explore Ghost village.The guys also enabled me to recharge my mobile.

We had a magical dinner sat round a traditional Turkish table in the garden. Brilliant food, wonderfully cooked and attentive service. Well worth a visit.

We came here as an afternoon trip to head into the ghost town. We were greeted with cold apple tea and told a little about the area. Upon returning from the ghost town we ate at the restaurant, the food was lovely and they couldn't do enough for us. The pool is a nice touch too. Keep up the good... More

The owner Engin was very helpful and friendly. Nikki the waitress, apart from being extremely attractive, was also very helful and socialble. This is... More

Home made authentic Turkish food, served under cover on a gorgeous rainy evening. If you go for lunch you can use the beautiful adjacent pool for free. The view in daylight is superb, being overlooked by the stunning Kaya Koy 'ghost town'.

We were both collected and dropped off from our hotel by the staff at the restaurant upon request, this is something that might be required for you also, as where the restaurant is situated (the beautiful ghost village of Kayakoy) can be quite...
