Kaunos, Archaeological site in Dalyan, Turkey.
The archaeological area contains a harbor, temples, baths, a theater seating 5000 people, and stone-carved tombs along the Dalyan River.
Founded in the 10th century BC, Kaunos served as a maritime trade center until its abandonment in the 15th century due to malaria.
The site incorporates architectural elements from Carian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods, visible in the structures and religious buildings throughout the complex.
The ruins remain accessible through boat services from Dalyan, with walking paths leading visitors to different sections of the ancient settlement.
The city walls from the 4th century BC feature an ancient wind measurement device initially mistaken for a construction foundation.
