Uzungol
Uzungol (Serah Lake) is located 99 km. from Trabzon, 19 km. from Caykara and 1090 m. above the sea level. A great number of broken rocks from the slopes filled up Haldizen stream and Uzungol was formed in this way. The lake is 1000 m. long, 500 m. in width and 15 m. in depth.
It is surrounded by forests. Uzungol has an interesting view with the village houses around it. And there are some other small lakes on the mountains which are 15-20 km. from Uzungol. The lake is also surrounded by convenient tracks for hikking. There have been some facilities such as bungalows to stay overnight and some establishment to grow up trout since 1974 in Uzungol, Where tourism agencies organise tours for the day in the summer
Kaunos
Kaunos was a city of ancient Caria, Anatolia, a few km west of the modern town of Dalyan, Muğla Province, Turkey. Kaunos was said to have been founded by Kaunos, son of Miletos and Kyane, on the southern coast of Caria, opposite Rhodes. It was in a district later under the jurisdiction of Rhodes known as Peraea, Peræa Rhodiorum (Latin form) “the Rhodian Shore”, at the foot of Mount Tarbelos. Its acropolis was called Imbros. It exported, chiefly to Rome, highly prized figs. It was the home of the painter Protogenes.
It was a member of the Chrysaorian League. The ruins of the city are near Dalyan, on the right bank of the ancient Kalbis. Among them are a theatre, a large rectangular building that may have been a temple, others of uncertain description, a Byzantine church, and rock-hewn tombs.
