Kayaköy is a "ghost town” in Lycia on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 10 km south of Fethiye. Remarkably, 975 of these ghosts were substantial enough to deceive the census enumerators of 2022, and they run shops, cafés and guesthouses, and drive too fast around bends knowing they can't die a second time.

Ölüdeniz is a beach resort in Lycia on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, famous for its “Blue Lagoon”. It was a tiny place until the 1990s, then Turkish tourism was boosted by direct flights from Europe, and the upgrade of Dalaman Airport put this stretch of coast within a one-hour coach transfer.
