Dalyan
/ Kaunos is one of the most mysterious cities in the Mediterranean
region. It’s situated among Marmaris, Köyceðiz and Sarýgerme.
The
waters of Köyceyiz lake fall into the Mediterranean Sea by a natural
canal. The canal, which is approximately fifteen metres in width,
seperates Kaunos from Dalyan.
On
a steep slope just opposite the town of Dalyan, sizeable rock tombs
which belong to the people of Kaunos are seen. These rock tombs are
the landmark of Kaunos and Dalyan. |

Kaunos
ruins are one kilometre away from Dalyan. It’s possible to reach
Kaunos by motorway or by sea. Daily excursions from Marmaris to
Kaunos and to Dalyan are organized everyday.
However, because of the shallowness of the water at some points
where the waters of the canal fall into the Mediterranean, yachts
are not allowed to enter Kaunos. Passengers are carried from here to
Kaunos by small boats. Kaunos ruins are one kilometre inside from
the canals.
That’s why, after disembarking from the boat, visitors are required
to walk for ten minutes to get to Kaunos. |
