Kayaköy is a village near Fethiye in Turkey where Anatolian Greeks lived until the population exchange agreement signed by Turkish and Greek governments after the Independence War of Turkey. The village is now uninhabited and is preserved as a museum village.

Its population in 1900 was about 3000, almost all Christians.

Its Greek name was Levissi and lies on the ruins of the ancient Lybysium or Carmylessus.
