HOW DID THEY BUILT ?

ANCIENT ROCK TOMBS

Theses tombs are the resting places of the kings of Caunos. They are carved in the style of Lycian rock tombs. There are two types of tomb to be found in Dalyan. Simple chambers, cut in to the rock face like a room and more elaborate temple tombs. Many tombs were built with false walls placing valuables behind them so as to fool robbers, eventually this was to no avail as all the tombs were emptied of their treasures.

Rock tombs can be seen along the Lycian coast, but best examples of them in Dalyan.
