Kaunos Attractions

|
Near the village of Dalyan some 30km/20mi east of Marmaris as the crow flies lies the site of ancient Kaunos. The road to the site runs north to Gökova at the head of the long Gulf of Gökova and then east via Köycegiz. The Köycegiz lagoon is linked to the open sea by the River Dalyan.
Roughly half-way between the lagoon and the sea is the village of Dalyan, where a boat plies across the channel, flowing here through a marshy plain, to the monumental rock tombs of Kaunos on the west side. The fourth century B.C. tombs hewn from the steep rock face can be seen from a considerable distance.
