Whilst most tourists visit Kayaköy in the summer months, for us, the best time to visit the abandoned village and surroundings is springtime, autumn and winter. This is when the weather is cooler for clambering around the ruins and going on for further hiking. If we had to choose, we'd say the best time to visit Kayaköy is springtime. Carpets of wildflowers, lush greenery, newborn lambs and calves, comfortable temperatures for exploring. If you're in Kayaköy in high season, the ruins are quite exposed to get here early morning or late afternoon if possible, when it's a bit cooler.
