Ancient Caunos
by JLBG
Caunus, Caunos or Kaunos is the name of an ancient city, near modern Dalyan. It is now several kilometers inland but in the antiquity, it was a see harbor. It progressively got silted and now van be reached only by small boats across the swamps of the Dalyan river. The settlement is believed to date from 3,000 BC but was later developed as a main harbor for both Lycia and Caria as it stands on their common border.
After Caunos was taken by Alexander the Great in 334 BC, it began to loose its importance as a harbor, mainly because of silting.
The photos shows ruins of storehouse that look like the Ghorfas in Tunisia.
