History
Climax or Klimax was a town on the Black Sea coast of ancient Paphlagonia between Cytorus and Cape Carambis. Marcian of Heraclea places it 50 stadia east of Crobialus. Ptolemy mentions it in his Galatia, and it is the first place after Cytorus which he mentions on this coast. It flourished during Roman and Byzantine eras.
