Tombs of the Kings ️ Absolutely phenomenal set of ruins overlooking a small river as it runs out into the Aegean Sea A good Turkish friend of mine I met in Antalya back in November told me about these ruins... He is a tour guide for Turkey and knows his country like the back of his hand ️ I was seriously excited about checking these tombs out for the last few months. Sadly when we showed up they were locked up and looked as though they had been closed for quite some time.... We took this opportunity to do a lil B&E aaaaaand we ain't talkin' bout no bacon and eggs here fam Up close and personal with these ruins they are astonishing! A sheer rock mountain face carved into incredibly ornate tombs fit for a king!!! All the small details over the doorway and cut into the columns are quite spectacular It's insane to me that these tombs were carved by a hand out of stone and now look something like small houses completely detached from the surrounding rock except for the floor that they sit on... This is like ancient CNC machining done by hand with a chisel and hammer This place did not disappoint and I'm soooooo glad we spent some extra time just sitting here gazing up at this ancient wonder

Sailing past the ancient king’s tombs of Kaunos that have been carved into rock and the ride along dalyan river to enjoy the stunning nature is unforgettable experience. About Kanous tombs of the kings : Kaunos was a city of ancient Caria and in Anatolia, a few km west of the modern town of Dalyan, Muğla Province, Turkey. The Calbys river was the border between Caria and Lycia. Initially Kaunos was a separate state; then it became a part of Caria and later still of Lycia.
Beautiful spot, especially with the river in front. There's no trail up to the actual tomb but there's a park entrance to go to the base of them. Lots of restaurants have breathtaking views of the tombs from across the river.
Really a must see place. Unfortunately, the closest you can approach it is to get in turkish cemetery of the village below the rocks. The views during the evening, from across the river cafess are stunning. Wish we can explore it close by
Lovely place, can cross the river (see pictures) to visit the ancient amphitheater as well so well worth a visit. I'd recommend it ;)
I will not able to give 5 stars because you can not go up hill and walk inside since the entrance is closed. Maybe someone can give us a tip about how to climb up there but that will be illegal. I managed to go as close as possible through the cemetery to take photos. There are small boats \u200d️ at the end that will take you to the other side of the river. They are run by women.
Amazing tour in the river, we saw these ancient tombs, on our way going up to the mud basin.
Great place, great small town and a wonderfull atmosphere where you can find everything you need from restaurants to places where you can have fun. The tombs are also very nice and can be viewed while having a boat trip
