Deserted village

This is the deserted village at Kaya, Turkey. In 1923 there was a population 'exchange' between the Turkish and Greek populations, 25,000 moved back to Greece, now 2000 live in the village, the homes stand as they were. A sad thing to see.
Sad for the village. I do hope that you are enjoying your trip. I really like the photo with the houses hugging the hillside.
