Kayaköy Ghost Town

[neill]

It was rumoured at the time that the wells had been poisoned, thats why no one re occupied the village.

As far as I know the wells were not poisoned, it was left as the place was Christian town, in a new Islamic country. Some people for some years did stay and looked after the place. It was too politically sensitive for other people just to move in and take over. It still is a politically sensitive place which is why UNESCO has given it protection status.
