Kleopatra Hamamı - Hamam Cove heads the list of primary stop-overs of the boots on the Blue Voyage, with its unbelievably beautiful sea and nature. In a typical Medietrranean manner, people are convinced that Cleopatra once swam here and so the site is called the Cleopatra Cove. It is disputable whether or not Cleopatra waded into the sea here, but there is no doubt that she would have admired the place hod she seen it! Details : http://www.gofethiye.com/fethiye/twelve_islands.htm Göbün ve Merdivenli koylarından sonra yapacağınız kısa bir yolculukla Manastır Koyu’nun benzersiz güzelliği ile karşılaşıyorsunuz. Burası Roma döneminden kalan antik bir hamam içeren Cleopatra Hamamıdır. Derinlerden kıyılara gidildikçe koyu mavinin tüm tonlarını en iyi şekilde hissettiren bu ada, Cleopatra’nın Roma seferleri sırasında yaptırdığı tarihi hamamıyla dikkat çekiyor. Hamamın yapılmasındaki gerçek sebebin o dönemde orada kaynayan sıcak bir suyun olması ve insan sağlığı açısında son derece yararlı kalsiyum ve minarelerle dolu bir suyun olmasıymış. Eski inanışlara göre bu hamama giren kadınların 9-10 yaş gençleştiğine inanılıyormuş. Ayrıca adanın arkasında yaklaşık 2000 kişilik tarihi bir roma şehrinin kalıntıları bulunuyor. Koyun güneybatısında, suyun içinde kalıntıları bulunan eski bir hamam nedeni ile yörede Cleopatra Hamamı ya da Batık Hamam Koyu olarak da bilinen Manastır Koyu, körfezdeki pek çok koy gibi tektonik kıyı oluşumuna sahip. Koyun hemen arkasındaki tepenin yamacı dikkatle incelendiğinde, bu tektonik yapı ve tepede geçmişte faaliyette olan bir krater gölünün sularını kıyıya indiren kanallar açıkça görülebiliyor. Manastır Koyu, kıyıdan tepeye kadar çam ağaçları ve yer yer keçiboynuzu ağaçlarıyla kaplı. Kuzey doğu yönünde kıyıya paralel uzanan bir antik duvar yapısı ve diğer küçük kalıntılar, Likya'nın antik Lydae kentine hiç de uzak olmadığınızı hatırlatıyor. Lydae'ye Ağ Limanından olduğu gibi, Manastır Koyundan da yaklaşık 1,5 saatlik bir patika yürüyüşü ile ulaşabilirsiniz. Manastır koyu, günübirlik ziyaretler ve geceleme için rotanızda mutlaka yer alması gereken bir güzellik... - Kleopatra Hamamı

Caunos Rock Tombs - Şubat/February 2006,Caunos lies on the west bank of the river and is therefore, technically at least, Carian - part of ancient Caria. If, however, you've visited any of the Lycian sites further to the East you'll recognise the prominent rock tombs of Caunos as typically Lycian. If you don't fancy a swim you'll need to take a boat from Dalyan to get to the site. Not much of a hardship really as there's plenty to look at during the 45 minute trip (if nothing else you can use the time to apply your mosquito repellent of choice). Excavations here have been going on for 30 years but much of the city is yet to be revealed, but you will find a good theatre, baths and a Byzantine Basilica in reasonable condition. The rock tombs here fall into 2 categories - simple, rock cut chambers in the lower row on the cliff face and the more ornate temple tombs above. They may or may not be included in a tour of the site so it makes sense to check if you're keen to explore them close up. Highlights of the city site are listed below: Defensive Walls - to the NW and N of the site, 8m in height and remarkably well preserved in parts. Acropolis Hill - the 150m summit is capped by Hellenistic ruins, an area of 800 sqm. enclosed by a good ashlar wall. Theatre - an impressive structure, two arched entrances survive and the climb to the 34th row of seats is rewarded by a fine view across the city towards Suluklu Golu to the west. Roman Bath - walking NW from the theatre you cross a large palaestra (training ground) and come to the site of the baths. Note the ground plan of a Christian church built in the palaestra. The bath may be restored as a site museum in the future. - Caunos Rock Tombs

Caunos Ancient City - CAUNOS The ancient Carian city of Caunos is found some thirty-five miles south of MuQla travelling along route six out of Mugla. The site is located between the villages of Koycegiz and Dalyan, near a large artificial lake. This is linked with the sea by a six-mile-long channel that is thought to have existed in ancient times. Motorboat services connects Koyceğiz with the nearby fishing village of Dalyan. HISTORY OF CAUNOS The citizens of Caunos suffered a longstanding history of sickness and poor health according to the ancient writers. We see several references to these people as having an unhealthy greenish complexion. The marshy lowlands of the area can account for the sickness which may well have been malaria. Herodotus wrote that, while the people of Caunos were Carians, they were thought to have originally come from the island of Crete. And the geographer Strabo refers to Caunos with its fortified harbor that couM be closed off in times of trouble. The frontier that marked the boundries of Caria and Lycia crossed near Caunos and, according to Herodotus, while the people of the city spoke like the Carians, their customs were closdy resembling those of the Lycians. Tombs along the canal carved in stone in the Lycian manner lend credence to this suggestion. What was once the harbor of Caunos has now formed the lake known as Suluklu Golu near the acropolis. Past the site flows what is thought to have been the Calbis River, according to one, of Strabo's references to the city. This is the Dalyon Cayi River con- necting the lake with the sea. This deep channel, runs past the small fishing village of Dalyan, meaning 'fishery' in Turkish, from which a seasonal fish netting industry is carried on. The fish are trapped with wide nets spread across the river as they return from their spawning grounds in the fresh-water lake back into the sea An inscription dealing with fishing regulations has been found in the area of Caunos to give evidence to the possibility that, this tradition originated from the earliest occupations of the city. The amount of silting that has taken place over the centuries has placed the ancient city site back from the shoreline. During Strabo's time, the city was on the water. In the sixth century B.C., when Caunos could no longer hold out against the forces of Persian Harpagus, it is said the residents of the city collected all of their possessions, placed them along. with their families on top of the acropolis, and set fire to it. They then returned to the fighting and ultimate defeat at the hands of the Persians. Later, after Xerxes' campaing against Greece failed, Persian rule came to an end in Caria. In the Delian Confederation, the tax levied upon Caunos was exceedingly high, ten talents. This is even higher than that paid by Ephesus, the same as that asked of Miletus. It is thought that the wealth of Caunos may have come from the fishing industry that they were able to develop. At that time it would have been salted fish, primarily. This was one of the staples of the ancients living in this area, not requiring any further treatment for preservation. The site reveals many and varied ruins dating primarily from the Roman period of occupation and building. Among some of the ruins to be seen at Caunos are a Roman theater and baths. The theater is large enough to hold some twenty thousand spectators. The Stoa, thought to be from the Hellenistic Period. and a nymphaeum of'.Roman origin, several temples, Corinthian and Ionic orders, and a; water reservoir are some of the hingh lights at Canunos. Turkish archaeologists have been excavating the site, chiefly Professors Baki Ogun and Omit Serdarofllu, since 1967, and have come up with some interesting finds as a result of their efforts. RUINS OF CAUNOS The ruins, located near Dalyan, are entered most easily by boat across the stretch of water from Koycegiz. Boats are readily available and may be hired at a nominal cost. An entrance by road is found south of the town of Adakoy. The ruins of Caunos are found at the site about a mile from Dalyan. The rock tombs can be seen in the cliff face as you cross the river. These were executed in two rows, the upper one with temple tombs with their characteristic imperial columns, and the lower row With squarish, more simply-carved tombs. The interiors of the temple- type tombs are large. They commonly have three benches of stone for the positioning of the deceased. The tombs have been dated from the sherds found within as being from the fourth century B.C. Several of the tombs were used the second time during the Roman period. A few of the tombs have a passageway cut around them in the cliff. The temple tombs consist of an antae, two columns of the Ionic order, a pediment and frieze. One of the tombs, the largest, which Is found nearest Dalyan, has four columns and was left unf- inished. One of the tombs has its pediment carved with the relief of two lions facing each other. Other tombs, of the Carian type, are found at the western end of the site. These are tombs cut down into the rock, then covered with rock lids The acropolis of Caunos was built as a divided, two-part affair. The center of the city was placed nearer the higher, eastern section of the hill. In recent years the Turkish archeological teams have been uncovering buildings in this area, as well as many inscriptions. A long wall, in a good state of preservation is found behind this to the north-east. Since the east and south approaches are very steep and rocky, they were left with only the protection provided by the terrain. The walls defending the acropolis date only to the Middle Ages. The fort at top. however, is thought to have been the one captured in the fourth century B.C. by the armies of Ptolemy. The impressive amphitheater was built into the side of the acropolis hill. This is of the Greek tradition with its semicircular cavea. It was built with thirty-four rows of seats which are still in good condition. The stage building is at the lower end, still partly covered with earth. To the north of the theater we find a basilica that is finely decorated, consisting of an apse and three aisles. Further along the ridge are extensive baths and a small temple built upon a platform. These all date from the Roman period of occu- pation. In addition to these, a reconstructed fountain house can be seen with an inscription to the honor of Emperor Vespasian. A shallow battling pool, or at least this has been the concensus of scholars on the circular construction found at Caunos, can be seen as well. An outer circle was enhanced with columns placed along its edge. A stoa and several temples from the Romdrt period are noteworthy examples of the ancient structures that once stood over the face of the city of Caunos. - Caunos Ancient City
