The river takes over the moment you step aboard: a narrow channel that slips between reed beds and low cliffs, carrying a small fleet of wooden boats toward a coastline that still argues with tourists for its quiet. Early light threads through a lattice of tamarisk and pine, and the guide’s voice drops to a near-whisper when the cliffs arrive—those cliff-cut Kings’ Tombs of Kaunos loom above the canal like a carved audience watching the river float by.
