Caunos, the son of Miletos, had been indicated as the founder of the city and therefore, it had been named Caunos.

You reach the site of the ruins by means of a channel adorned with Lycian type tombs belonging to the 4th century B.C. The first place that we see is the acropolis of Caunos. The northern part of the city wall, which surrounds the acropolis, belongs to the period of Mausolos. The northwestern part has Hellenistic qualities. And starting from the harbor are seen the city walls of Cyclopean type belonging to the Archaic Period. The theater belonging to the Roman Period is located at the skirt of the acropolis and its southern part is carved in the rock; the other parts are shaped into seats supported by gable roof vaults.
