Motorboats, moored to the wharf at Dalyan, take you on a romantic canal cruise to the ruins. The ride will take about 30 minutes. On the boat, you will learn more about the history of Kaunos while enjoying the scenery. As the boats cross the canal, you can see the Lycian tombs with their fine architectural facades above.

           

             Within these tombs, whose facades are like those of temples, are stone benches for laying out the dead. Shreds found in the tombs, which look down upon us from the sheer rock opposite, reveal that they date back to the 4th century B.C. Since Kaunos is situated on the border between Caria and Lycia, tombs of both are to be seen side-by-side. Mounds are also to be found in the same area. While visiting the ancient city you will have a chance to see the untouched theatre, the watch tower and the Roman baths​.
