The tombs, shaped by delicately carving on rocks rising at an angle of 80 degrees at many points, are pushing the boundaries of the mind. According to the archaeologists these tombs are a sign of the richness and power of the ancient city of Caunos. The next stop will be Caunos Ancient City. The city according to a myth was founded in the 4th century B.C. by one of the twin children of Miletos, named Kaunos, at the Caria-Lycia border.
