DALYAN - CAUNOS
A prestigious town which can be reached by the big excursion boats in 1-2 hours from most resorts. The sail to this region is enjoyable with surprising landscapes along the way. You can get to Dalyan Delta (which is too narrow for the bigger boats), by boarding a smaller boat, which will bring you to the ancient city of Caunos where you can visit the ruins of a Roman theatre, Roman bath and the Agora, church. A short journey on from here will take you further through the reeds to the Carian Rock Tombs dating back to the 4th century B.C.
The tombs were carved from rock, 100 meters above the river. The biggest and most attractive of these tombs is the one belonging to the God of Wine "Dionysos".
Dalyan is also famous for its fine white beach where turtles "Caretta", "Caretta's" come to lay their eggs. It will give you great pleasure to sun bath on this beach and swim as both sides of the beach are very different. One side is fresh water and other is the sea.
