Things to Do in Sarigerme in December
Iberotel Sarigerme Park
Visitors can take a drive from Sarigerme out to Iberotel Sarigerme Park to explore the ancient ruins of Pisilis. The remains of city walls, a church, graves and the town centre are remarkably intact, given the fact that they date back to Roman and Byzantine periods. Some of the ruins are still buried under encroaching sand dunes from the beach.
Kaunos
The UNESCO site of Kaunos, an ancient port dating back to classical times, lies just thirty minutes' drive from Sarigerme. You can roam freely around crumbling baths, fountains, and an amphitheatre. For centuries Kaunos was a major trading port and even mentioned by Herodotus in his Histories. It was only abandoned in the 15th century, after an invasion and malaria epidemic drove the populace from its walls. Visitors should definitely not miss the six rock tombs on the Dalyan river, elegant temple-like carvings dressed in two Ionian pillars and Greek facades.
