Watch the paragliders gliding down to land near the beach.'You'll start the morning heading straight to Oludeniz.

Elif says, ‘There are close to 1,000 deserted stone houses in Kayakoy, as well as churches and chapels, even a bakery. The Greek villagers who lived here – and called it Leivissi – were forced to flee after WWI, and no one replaced them.'
