Its story
Parion is an ancient port city on the Marmara coast in Kemer village, part of Biga. According to ancient sources it was founded by colonists in the 8th–7th centuries BC and flourished after gaining colony status in the Roman period. Excavations ongoing since 2005 have uncovered a theater, an odeion, a Roman bath and a large necropolis. During excavation seasons part of the site can be viewed from outside; village coffeehouses and a quiet beach on the shore round off the visit.
