Caryanda (Greek: Καρύανδα) was an ancient city on the coast of Caria on a bay on the north coast of the Bodrum Peninsula in where is today Turkish kurort of Turkbuku. According to Strabo Caryanda is located between the Carian coastal cities of Bargylia and Myndus. [Strabo, Geography 14.2.20] 1
Caryanda was a member of the Athenian dominated Delian League during the Vth century BC but with a modest tribute2. https://topostext.org/place/371274PKar
