This place is amazing . Excavations are still in process but the mosque was beautiful inside. There are a few families live still there among the ruins and make jewellery and bottled fruit. The fruit was just amazing growing on the trees the pomegranate were huge. We had pancakes freshly made and they were lovely. The site was really good and the tour guide explained everything to us our children 5,7 and 15 really enjoyed it. A great few hours were spent there but we didn't realise how hot it was and very little cover and a couple of us had sun stroke, but overall a great place to visit.

An ancient city in a beautiful place. Although from afar it seems pretty small but since you're in the site you realize how actually big for that time the city was. There's not much left of it but even the stones that still remain give an impression how well designed Knidos was. The harbour is something amazing. They used the natural bays and improved the safety for ships with walls both sides, west and east. There's also a lighthouse at the point, it's a bit of a walk but worthy every step. Gorgeous views from the path and from the hill.

Although I do not have the opportunity to visit here, our historical values, I can see them during the boat tour in the Dalyan River.

Famous for these tombs, The Caunos Ancient City of Caunos host thousands of visitors every year. There were also boat tours from Dalyan and the journey took 10 minutes.

This ancient site was an important town which originally belonged to the Lycian people. Like all important sites, it had a chequered history, subsequently belonging to the Greeks, the Romans and even an Ottoman overlord. The archaeologists excavate here each summer finding more and more treasures, many of which are safely displayed in the museum in Fethiye. There are an impressive number of rock tombs, some Roman and some earlier Lycian ones which are as old as the pyramids. Tucked away and very difficult to access, is the largest and most impressive tomb, belonging to a Lycian priest, the walls are carved with animals and Pegasus. Also on the site is a Roman stadium and very impressive amphitheatre which are currently closed to the public because of the excavations. The climb up to the Fortress is indeed strenuous but the views from the top give a glimpse into why this was an important site - you can see literally miles and miles in all directions! Well worth a visit!!

A stunning place to visit and so conveniently close to the town. The rock tombs are spectacular, as is the amphitheatre, and an absolute must to visit. Well worth the few lira entrance fee. Not to be missed.

There are many shops here, where you can buy souvenirs, handcrafts, gifts, sweets, food and clothes as well. It is worth to have a walk here and try local foods. I advise to visit the place in the evening as well. I loved the atmosphere of this lovely town.
