Dalyan / Kaunos is one of the most mysterious cities in the Mediterranean region. It’s situated among Marmaris, Köyceğiz and Sarıgerme. The waters of Köyceyiz lake fall into the Mediterranean Sea by a natural canal that winds through Dalyan.

The canal, which is approximately fifteen metres in width, seperates the ancient city of Kaunos from Dalyan. On a steep slope just opposite the town of Dalyan tower sizeable Lykian burial tombs which contain the elite of Kaunos.

These rock tombs are the landmark of both Kaunos and Dalyan. The 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 the canal reaching to Kaunos. Passengers are carried from this point to Kaunos by small boats.

After disembarking from the boat, visitors are required to walk for ten minutes to get to Kaunos.
