The 3,000-year history of Kaunos awaits its visitors in the winter season!

Located in Çandır Neighborhood and included on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, this ancient city offers its visitors both history and unique natural landscapes.

Established around the Dalyan Creek in the ancient period, Kaunos held great importance as a port city. However, over time, its distance from the sea increased due to the formation of the Dalyan Delta.

This natural change, rather than damaging the city's historical texture, has added a different visual richness to it.

A MEETING POINT FOR HISTORY ENTHUSIASTS

The reflection of historical ruins on the water becomes more pronounced, especially in winter, creating a unique view. Kaunos continues to be a fascinating discovery point for both history buffs and nature lovers, offering a different beauty in every season.

The ancient city's ruins, particularly those from the Roman and Hellenistic periods, allow visitors to deeply feel the traces of the past. The amphitheater, baths, temples, and ancient walls in the city offer an invaluable journey to those who want to explore the history of the region.

In the silence of winter, the impressive structures of Kaunos create a perfect environment for those who want to witness history in tranquility.

"A DIFFERENT HISTORICAL TEXTURE IN EVERY CORNER"

Mert Kaan Saraylı, who came to visit Kaunos from Marmaris, said, "It is truly impressive to see that the ancient city has been preserved so beautifully. It is a great pleasure to see how meticulously the excavations here have been carried out."

Stating that they found traces of a different historical texture in every corner of Kaunos, Saraylı added, "This place is not just history, but also a peaceful venue. Visiting in the winter season is a great opportunity to fully feel this peace."

Ahmet Korkmaz, who came from Kahramanmaraş for a vacation with his wife, stated that Kaunos fascinated him and said, "This is my first time here and it is truly much more beautiful than I expected. Kaunos impresses people not only with its historical structures but also with its scenery. I recommend everyone to see these magnificent beauties."
