The village has a population of about 10. They live in some of the ruins that have been renovated. They haven't decided to hold a referendum.

“The town is known as Kayaköy to everyone living in Turkey, but foreigners know it as Livissi..." Really ? I think it's probably only Greeks that still refer to it as Levissi.
