Off the D585, going toward the Greek ruins of Aphrodiasias. The city of Geyre was relocated in 1960 to make way for the recovery of the ruins. The cemetery is a short distance from the enterance to the ruins. The age of the cemetery dates back before the Ottoman period, as there are ruins of Greek pillars found. A few Ottoman headstones are also located in what is now an abaondoned fig tree orchard. The cemetery is still used, and a recent headstone described the victim of a 'virus' (ie. COVID). Some of the plots do not have headstones.
