An abandoned Greek village of several thousand stone houses frozen in time on a hillside above Fethiye, deserted after the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey. Over 500 Greek Orthodox churches, chapels and homes stand in various states of ruin among fig trees and wildflowers, creating an eerie open-air museum. The place asks unanswerable questions about identity, belonging and loss.
