Dalyan is a small riverbank town by the Dalyan River in southwestern part of Turkey. The river divides this small Turkish town from the ancient ruins of Kaunos on the other side.
Kaunos used to be an important city of the ancient Anatolian region of Caria, right on the border with Lycia. Kaunos has probably the best examples of Lycian tombs which were carved into the cliffs of a mountain. They were made by the Carians in Lycian styles in the form of Ionic temples for their noblemen and rulers. The tombs were later reused by the Romans.
It is a fantastic place to visit really. It is a protected area so it is not a concrete town like many other touristy places nearby.
