Kalynda

After passing the mosque, continue on the sharp road to the left, by auto and the last 200 meters by the Tabanway. Opposite of beehives.

Do not visit at noon in the summer, it is very tiring, if you do not have a six-high vehicle, it requires a lot of walking. The ruins are somewhat scattered and spread out over a wide area.

It is now the city of Caria, which was founded on the boron hill in the village of Şerefler in Dalaman district, overlooking the plain. Dalaman plain was a rich port city before it was filled by Dalaman and Tersakan streams. Not much is left of the city due to earthquakes, wars and treasure hunters. However, the castle is still evident. The view is really beautiful. You can watch the whole Dalaman plain, the airport, the coast and even the neighboring Ortaca. It looks good in the open air in Rhodes. A must see place ...

A nice route for hiking.

really nice place Of course, its sad story as well as its beauty does not upset people.

Muğla is an ancient city located within the boundaries of the Şerefler District of Dalaman district. Even the survivors of the city are enough to understand the importance of this place, of course, for history and archeology lovers. Unfortunately, saying, unfortunately, there is a vineyard, olive grove, house in the protected area again. My beautiful ANTIQUE CITY, which has been destroyed and no protection measures have been taken, has become the place of those who want to drink and have a picnic. The historical artifacts of the city are everywhere under your feet (when they should be in the museum) If it is claimed, we wish to see the past view of that city ?

On the Dalaman-Fethiye road, 2 km after Dalaman, you will see the Şerefler village turn on the right and leave the main road. Şerefler is 1 km ahead of the turn. The remains of the ancient settlement of Kalynda are around 200 meters above the village school, on the hill. Kalynda is a Carian city. Not much remains of the city have survived until today. That's all, just a few pieces of wall. The historian Herodotus, while talking about Kalynda, tells that the city was under the rule of Kaunos for a while, then he rebelled against Kaunos with the support of Knidos, and when the siege of Kaunos began, this time he asked for help from Rhodes. The people of Kalynda also minted coins. On the coin, there is a relief of an eagle with the head of Zeus and lightning bolt. Closed as of November 2021, difficult to reach, you have to go by car and do a long climb, you can only see what is left of the walls as there is no excavation.
