Izmir's 'ghost village' Lubbey to be brought into tourism

62-year-old Hamide Bozkus, who recently lost her husband in a traffic accident, continues to live in Izmir's Libbey village despite all the difficulties she faces there. The village, located in Odemis district and whose population plummeted to mere five people as a result of the migration of its people due to various reasons, defies time with its unique nature and historical buildings. Nevertheless, the village has recently become popular with photography enthusiasts and hiking groups with its original architecture and nature, however, it has now returned to its former desolation again due to Covid-19.
