Its story

Karabiga is built on top of a port city on the Marmara coast known in antiquity as Priapos, named after the fertility god Priapus. On the hill on the cape, remains of walls and a castle from the Byzantine and later periods can be seen. The small peninsula where the castle rises is a viewpoint overlooking the harbor on one side and the open Marmara on the other. It can be visited together with Karabiga's fishing harbor and beach.
