Lycian Rock Tombs, Dalyan

Super cool that remnants of Lycian cultures can be found right in the middle of the city!! There are no lights and also no footpath to the second tomb so climbing will be required of you. Think twice before climbing at night!! The view from the hill is breathtaking

The entrance during our visit was slightly concealed by overgrowth. It's between two apartment blocks with a yellow sign showing the way. When you reach the first tomb you can either head left or right and each direction takes you to more tombs. The trick is to follow the white electricity cables for the lights. There are no signs or pathways as such. You have to climb the rocks. I suggest to wear appropriate shoes and trousers due to the prickly bushes. It's worth it for the views and to see ancient history. Please note that the tombs are small (like the example in the picture), some of the pictures uploaded are of different locations and are not at this site.

Lycia Rock Tombs are right in the city centre and at first might be difficult to spot as you need to climb up the steep stairs that are hidden between the houses. Worth visiting though and it's completely free.

Small collection of tombs in the side of the hill, pretty nice to see randomly inbetween two houses.

Apart from the lovely views over Kas and the sea, there is not much to see at the tombs. However it’s still incredible to see how the people hewed out these tombs and structures in the rock face. Also notice the Lycian writing carved into the rock façade. The tombs are sadly not protected in any way so there is the usual pathetic graffiti on some and the idiotic litter left behind in some. There is a sign at street level to the stairs up to the tombs.
