Lycian rock tombs – where?
We are flying from Keyseri to Dalaman (via Istanbul), where we will rent a car and drive to Kas. Before heading to Kas, I was originally thinking to take a detour to Dalyan, to see the Lycian rock tombs. Our flight lands in Dalaman at 12:45 pm.
Is this detour feasible? Do we have enough time for it (and a stop for lunch somewhere), or should we see the Lycian rock tombs next to Fethiye instead?
Can someone compare the 2 sites? Which one do you recommend in our time frame? We are going in October, when sunset is around 6:30 pm. Thanks

I would go immediately to Dalyan for lunch at the Carreta Carreta restaurant which has a nice view of the tombs - http://www.carettacaretta.net/html/foto_e.htm

The rock tombs at Fethiye are few and not very exciting. However, you will see great ones, very close up at Myra, not far from Kas.
I forgot how close you can get to the ones at Kaunos, near Dalyan but I remember not climbing up to them when I visited them in 1966.

Caretta Caretta looks very nice, we might just do that - have a nice lunch with a great view, then drive slowly to Kas.
OC, yes, Myra is one of the sites we will visit from Kas, but now I need to go and start reading about Carian/Karian...new history lesson for me
Thanks
