Livissi

 ruins, interesting place, draw only border, ghost town

Anciently known as Lebessos/Lebessus (Ancient Greek: Λεβέσσος) and later as Livissi (Greek: Λειβίσσι) (turkish:Kayaköy) is a village 8 km south of Makri (Fethiye) in southwestern Minor Asia (turkey) where Anatolian Greek speaking Christians lived until approximately 1923.
The ghost town, now preserved as a museum village, consists of hundreds of rundown but still mostly intact Greek-style houses and churches which cover a small mountainside and serve as a stopping place for tourists visiting Makri and nearby Ölüdeniz. It was built on the site of the ancient city of Carmylessus in the 18th century. It experienced a renewal after nearby Makri (known as Fethiye) was devastated by an earthquake in 1856 and a major fire in 1885. After the Greco-Turkish War, Livissi was largely abandoned after a population exchange agreement was signed by the Turkish and Greek governments in 1923. Many of the buildings were damaged in the 1957 Makri earthquake. Its population in 1900 was about 2,000, almost all Greek Christians; however, it is now empty except for tour groups and roadside vendors selling handmade goods and items scavenged from the former village. However, there are a selection of houses which have been restored, and are currently occupied. An abandoned ChurchToday Livissi village serves as a museum and is a historical monument. Around 500 houses remain as ruins and are under the protection of the Turkish government, including two Greek Orthodox Churches, which remain the most important sights of the ghost town. There is a private museum on the history of the town. In the middle of the village stands a fountain source from the 17th century. Livissi was adopted by the UNESCO as a World Friendship and Peace Village.
