Its story

Sarıkız Tepesi lies on a ridge in the highest part of Kaz Dağı, near the Karataş summit. According to local belief, this hill holds the grave of Sarıkız, who was left on the mountain by her father because of a false accusation and came to be regarded as a saint here. Every summer the region's Tahtacı Turkmens hold a traditional pilgrimage and festival on the hill. From the summit there is a wide panorama of the Gulf of Edremit, Lesbos (Midilli) and, on clear days, toward Çanakkale; the ascent is via forest roads.
