History
Cnidus, a Greek city of ancient Caria that was part of the Dorian Hexapolis, was located at modern Burgaz in south-western Asia Minor on the modern Datça peninsula (Knidia) in Turkey. In the late fourth century, the political center of the peninsula moved from the site at Burgaz to the site at Tekir.
