thumb|Kaunos Ruins. thumb|Columns from the site thumb|Residential Quarter Kaunos (Carian: Kbid; Lycian: Xbide; Ancient Greek: ; ) was a city of ancient Caria in Anatolia, a few kilometres west of the modern town of Dalyan, Muğla Province, Turkey.
The Calbys river (now known as the Dalyan river) was the border between Caria and Lycia. Initially Kaunos was a separate state; then it became a part of Caria and later still of Lycia.
