These
tombs are the resting place of the Kings of Caunos. They
are carved from the rock in the style of Lycian rock
tombs. There are two types of tomb to be found in
Dalyan, simple chambers cut into the rock face and more
elaborate Temple tombs, there is also a large unfinished
tomb. 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, Fethiye has some good examples of these Tombs, sadly of these Tombs including Dalyan are not accessible to the public due to the damage caused by visitors and their locations.
