There are several groups of rock graves in the rock face along the Dalyan river. Large, major ones are referred to as "Kings' Graves". A Unesco text exists, putting the Ancient city of Kaunos on its Tentative List. In it one can read “Especially, the facade architecture of the rock-cut tombs in Kaunos differs from the rock-cut tombs in the regions of Urartu, Phrygians and Lycia with its unique façade typology representing façade architecture seen in Hellen Temples. Rock-cut tombs with temple façade are seen only in Kaunos and its hinterland which reveals its uniqueness to Kaunos. That’s why; this type of tombs is named as “Kaunosian Style Rock-Cut Tombs”. The other graves may be Lycian in style.
