Pick up from your hotel and depart to beginning point of tour where boats are waiting. First stop will be Rock Tombs which have reached today from Lycian Civilization. Some places reveal the glory of history in a concrete way. When looking at magnificient Rock Tombs that have survived thousand of years up to now against the cruelty of time, bearing secrets and mystery of history to future, you can't take your thoughts of as if the rocks begin to talk. 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. The rock tombs, positioned towards the landscape, are what grab attention the most in Kaunos, which was a coastal city during the archaic age. There are tens of monumental rock tombs carved in rocks for kings and noblemen in Dalyan and its close vicinity.The next destination will be Iztuzu Beach.During the day people swim, walk, lie in the sun to the sound of the crumping waves but at night a barrier comes down and the beach is claimed back by nature, in particular by hundreds of loggerhead Caretta Caretta Sea Turtles, one of the oldest surviving species in the world, which lay their eggs there you may have the chance to see Caretta Caretta Sea Turtles.The last stop will be Koycegiz Lake.The lake was formed about 7500 years ago, when the entire eastern part of the Mediterranean was afflicted by earthquakes.The lake is fed by the Namnam and Yuvarlakçay rivers and a number of mountain brooks. The water of brooks, melting water and fresh water wells, mixes with warm sulfurous water that is released from a fault and mildly brackish, oxygenated water that flows upriver with the rising tide. The depth of the lake varies from 20 to 60 metres. The lake is abundant with fish. We will have free time there about 1 hour.After the tour transfer back to your hotel in Dalyan.
