Climax or Klimax (Ancient Greek: Κλίμαξ) was a town on the Black Sea coast of ancient Paphlagonia between Cytorus and Cape Carambis (modern Kerembe Burnu). Marcian of Heraclea places it 50 stadia east of Crobialus.[1] Ptolemy mentions it in his Galatia, and it is the first place after Cytorus which he mentions on this coast.[2] It flourished during Roman and Byzantine eras.[3]
Its site is located near Kazallı in Asiatic Turkey.[3][4]
