Dalyan and Kaunos
West of Göcek and the Dalaman airport is
the Ekincik region. From here you can explore the ancient
city of Kaunos as well as the modern day town of Dalyan.
From the yacht you will board a low draft river boat and
travelup the sawgrass delta of the Dalyan River.
Founded in the 9thcentury
BC, Caunos was once an important Carian port city sitting on
the frontier between Caria and Lycia. There is a 2ndcentury
BC theater, the remains of four temples, and an extensive
Roman bath complex. Your boat will then take you further
upriver to Dalyan where you can explore the town center and
view the rock cut tombs that watch over the town from the
cliffs across the river.
