Day 23 May 7th, 2013 Tuesday Caunos Turkey a quaint little village along
the Turkish Coast
We will transfer to river boats and sail through the bends of the
meandering river in the shade of the Lycian tombs. The ancient city of
Caunos stands midway along the channel facing Dalyan. Settlement here is
believed to date from 3000 BC by Caunos, the son of Miletos and it later
grew into a major port on the border between Lycia and Caria. The
imposing Lycian rock tombs with their facades curved into the form of
temples were the last resting place of the kings of Caunos.
