Hippokome 

Hippokome is 30 kilometres from Dalaman. The ruins of the ancient city  are on a hillside in the Asarı region near the village of Çöğmen and are interesting to see. In Hippokome whose name meant the City of Horses, there are six stone tombs in the south east that attracts one’s attention. In the south west part of the old city there are more tombs, similar to the ones in Telmossos in Fethiye and in the Kepezbaşı region there are ruins of buildings that are dated to Roman and Byzantine eras.

There are other sites to visit that we can recommend to those who stay in Sarıgerme or Dalaman and want to spend more time looking around. There are stone tombs in Gökdağ, Lycian stone-cut tombs in Kayadibi, the ancient city of Oktapolis in Bozbel, the Hiras, Ilıca and Çal streamlets in Hisar, the Demiriçi Çarşısı (the metal market) in Gürköy and historical Akköprü on the Dalaman Stream.
