Kaunos and its Theatre

Kaunos and its Theatre
The theater of the ancient city of Kaunos, dated circa 2nd century BCE. Its capacity was 5000 people. A large wall supported one side of the theater, while the other half was built into the hillside. An innovative periaktos, a device that allows for revolving and rapid change of scenes (sets), also existed at this theater – perhaps the oldest one of its kind. In the distance you can see the Dalyan Delta.

Always good to walk in the footsteps of real history George. Not much of this sort of thing in Australia? I think you too will have visited many ancient sites around the world too.

Such a beautiful location and the theater blends in perfectly with it's surrounding. A super perspective and shot Herb!

This old city was build on fairly high. With great views on three sides. A fine place for a short visit for sure.

Hi Herb

Thank you for sharing this.
I believe this style comes from the ancient Greeks. They built a similar theatre in Pergamon in the north.
I'll have to dig out the photos. I had some posted on Pano.. but not here.

Best Wishes,
Peter

My pleasure peter. There are certainly many similarities between this and the one at Perganon (Where I have not visited). As you say, stemming from the same period. You will have to re-post yours on here now. I still have many Panoramio photos that I have meant to re-post here but I have a job just replying to comments on my live photos.

Cheers, Herb

Beautiful. The two times I was in Turkey I was in similar places, in the area but not here.

Good to see you again Daniela. This place is a bit out from anywhere and was part of a special bus trip for us.
