Dalyan & Kaunos Rock Tombs
Dalyan / Kaunos
Ride a river boat through a reed-lined channel, look up at the temple-style Tomb of King Kaunos in the cliffs, then continue to mud baths and sea turtle beaches.
The Dalyan River is lined with reeds, and on the opposite bank the cliffs bear the Tomb of King Kaunos from the 4th century BC. Its temple-style façade glows golden in the evening sun, and it is the symbol of Dalyan. A cooperative river boat can take you past the ancient city of Kaunos (theater, temples, baths), mud baths and hot springs, and finally to İztuzu Beach. It is about 75 km from Fethiye and is a common day trip. The ancient city charges admission.
