One of our last stops before going into port at Marmaris (a truly touristic town, where apparently even Jesus has a shop)\u2026..\"kau1\"<\/a> is the ancient city of Kaunos. Here is the sign at the site\u2026..\"kau2\"<\/a> Kaunos was once a port city but as with Ephesus and other such cities, the harbor silted up\u2026..\"kau8\"<\/a>\"kau3\"<\/a> We did not visit the high fortifications at Kaunos see here\u2026\"kau4\"<\/a> Rather we toured the ancient theater\u2026.. here\u2019s the vomitorium or exit ramp for the actors\u2026\"kau5\"<\/a> One can tell from the size of the theater this was once a considerable city\u2026.\"kau16\"<\/a>\"kau17\"<\/a>\"kau6\"<\/a>\"kau7\"<\/a> The most interesting feature of this theater is the pivot, which is not the same as the speaker\u2019s spot\u2026.\"kau7\"<\/a> This thing, called a periaktos in Greek, actually revolted, as described below\u2026.\"kau9\"<\/a>\"kau10\"<\/a>\"kau13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The city lasted well into the Roman era, for here are the ruins of the Roman baths\u2026.\"kau14\"<\/a> There was a circular temple near by\u2026.\"kau15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For best orientation, here is a grid plan of the city\u2026.\"kau12\"<\/a> There were narrow streets down into the agora, where there was a chesme, or fountain\u2026.\"kau18\"<\/a>\"kau20\"<\/a> The walls of the city were formidable\u2026\"kau22\"<\/a> But without question the most impressive feature of the city was its necropolis, or city of the dead, carved out of the cliffs nearby\u2026.\"kau25\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In some ways it was nice to return to land at beautiful Marmaris, the favorite vacation spot for the British of all these seaside towns\u2026\"W3UgX7gT6fG_jaFfEKmJiNn3SufeKnOEKzVWOpfxU9A,ycdRDs-KxgJhkuzVjFsc-b50gTpBU5cMV8YRx4QN1Vs\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"kau27\"<\/a>\"kau28\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The basic three part structure of these ancient towns entailed\u2014 a city of the dead, a city of the living, and on the acropolis the city of the gods\u2026..<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
