Kaunos
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.
