Köyceğiz, Ortaca, Dalaman

Lake Köyceğiz

The route draws a circle around Lake Köyceğiz. The highest altitude we reach will be about 190 meters. Lake Köyceğiz is an old Mediterranean bay. The alluvions that these steams have carried over the years have turned this old bay into a lake. The route also passes through the Ancient City of Kaunos. This ancient city is the oldest settlement in the region.
