Dalyan Resort is surrounded by pine-clad hills, cotton fields and bullrushes. It is a lovely little fishing village set on the riverbank near Lake Kycegiz. Facing the village across the river are astonishing rock tombs carved out of the cliffs. These were built by the people of Caria, who founded the city of Kaunos around 6000BC. Situated in the marshes downriver, this ancient site is well worth exploring with its ruined temples, defensive walls, baths, churches and 2000 seat theatre.
