Location of Caryanda, modern Turkey

Caryanda[

Darius I.[7]

Originally, Caryanda was located on

an island of the same name,[8] approximately 19 km north of the Dorian Greek city of Halicarnassus, the dominant city of the peninsula. Later Caryanda was relocated to a site on a bay on the north coast of the Bodrum Peninsula near Göl, in what is today the Turkish tourist resort town of Türkbükü. There it was known as (Caryanda) Neapolis.[9]

Caryanda was a member of the

Athenian dominated Delian League
during the 5th century BC.
