4th Day
Today, we will start very early before sunrise so that we arrive for breakfast in a bay near Ekincik.
Today you have the possibility to make a day trip to Dalyan and Kaunos. You will be picked up with a small excursion boat and the way will lead through the dense reed belt of the estuary of the Dalyan. The ruins of Kaunos are not yet fully laid open. Kaunos was a port city, where dried fish, salt, resin and slaves were traded. Because of the mud deposits of the River Dalyan (antique Kalbis) the access to the sea was lost gradually and thus the importance of the city. Especially the rock graves with ornate facades are worth a visit (4.century BC). From the Acropolis to which the footpath leads steeply upwards, you will have a wonderful view over the beautiful river landscape with the village Dalyanköy. Then you pass the Lycian rock caves, up the river. The route leads to the freshwater see Koycegiz Gölü, where you can take a sulfur bath in the thermal bath Sultaniye or near Rizaçavus a mud bath, which is attributed to have a rejuvenating effect.
