Before you go
Your trip to Kayaköy.
Illustrative images. The pictures in this guide are illustrations based on the real place, not photographs, and may differ from it.
Kayaköy – Muğla Destination Fethiye and Ölüdeniz
How to get there
Local transport or road connects Kayaköy to the bases of Fethiye and Ölüdeniz. Confirm access to the site and return before walking along the hillside.
How many days
Half a day is enough to see a selection of the core; staying overnight in the area is a rural base option, not a requirement to visit the site.
When to go
April to June and September to October usually offer better temperatures for the hillside. In summer, visit during cooler times of day.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
Not necessary within the visitable area. A car helps to get there, but the internal route is done on foot.
