Caunus is very much a tourist site. The site is best observed from the river which winds itself through large reed beds. These reed beds were used the filming of the movie “The African Queen” From the river can be seen the rock cut house type tombs, luckily not easy for tomb robbers to access.

Caunos lies on the west bank of the river and is therefore, technically at least, Carian - part of ancient Caria. If, however, you've visited any of the Lycian sites further to the East you'll recognise the prominent rock tombs of Caunos as typically Lycian. Excavations here have been going on for 30 years but much of the city is yet to be revealed, but you will find a good theatre, baths and a Byzantine Basilica in reasonable condition.The rock tombs here fall into 2 categories - simple, rock cut chambers in the lower row on the cliff face and the more ornate temple tombs above. They may or may not be included in a tour of the site so it makes sense to check if you're keen to explore them close up.
