Özet

Cnidus, southwest of Anatolia is located at the tip of the peninsula called as the Datca Peninsula or Resadiye, was known as the Cnidus Peninsula in Antiquity. The city, which is located within the borders of the Carian Region has two harbors with commercial and military. Together with its two harbors, the city is an important port of call on the Eastern Mediterranean trade route starting from Egypt. The aim of this study is to research the maritime activities of the region with the underwater researches carried out in and around the city, to determine the underwater cultural property and to contribute to the clarification of the relations with other civilizations in maritime trade. In this context, the ports have played an important role in the historical process of the city until its abandonment. The studies carried out between 2015 and 2017 were a continuation of the activities carried out in 2014. The studies were continued by adding two different regions to the ongoing underwater researches.
