As we descend into Kayaköy’s farmland, we’ll continue walking to our hotel. For those who prefer a lighter day, a refreshing dip in the pool awaits! Afterward, we’ll explore the ghost town of Kayaköy (entrance fee included). For those looking to shorten the trek, it’s possible to return to the hotel early, making a total trek of 9km, with 500m ascent and 300m descent. 

We’ll then continue to the stunning Ölüdeniz Lagoon, where you can take a dip in the crystal-clear waters before walking the final 2km along the quiet lagoon road to the town center. We’ll use public transport to return to Kayaköy. Dinner is included at the hotel, which offers simple accommodations with a pool.
