Euxine, also known as Caria, is an ancient settlement located near Dalyan, less visited than the prominent ruins of Kaunos. The site features scattered remains including stone foundations, wall fragments, and pottery shards, hinting at its past as a small Carian or Hellenistic community. Overgrown with vegetation, it offers a sense of discovery for history enthusiasts. While not as well-preserved or excavated as Kaunos, Euxine provides a more solitary experience, allowing visitors to imagine daily life in antiquity without crowds. The surrounding landscape of hills and olive groves adds to its charm.
