Lycean tombs, Kaunos, opposite Dalyan.
These are the tombs of Lucean warriors who were involved in the Trojan wars. Rumour has it that they murdered all their women before going off to war, chose the wrong side and got blootered. End of Lyceans! So who built / carved the tombs, you may well ask. FIIK.
Quote from www.dalyan.net:-
Kaunos is one of the most mysterious cities in the Mediterranean region. It’s situated among Marmaris, Köyceğiz and Sarıgerme. The waters of Köyceyiz lake fall into the Mediterranean Sea by a natural canal. The canal, which is approximately fifteen metres in width, seperates Kaunos from Dalyan. On a steep slope just opposite the town of Dalyan, sizeable rock tombs which belong to the people of Kaunos are seen. These rock tombs are the landmark of Kaunos and Dalyan
