Attractions in Hisaronu

Kayakoy: There aren’t a huge number of historical sites in Hisaronu itself, but Fethiye and Patara are close enough if you’re fascinated by all things ancient. The main area of interest is the abandoned town of Kayakoy. Over 2,000 Greeks lived here until 1923 when they were forced to move due to the Greco-Turkish War. The ruins of churches and houses stand as an eerie monument to the event and UNESCO have even claimed the town as a World Friendship and Peace Village.
