Its story
Sarıseki is at a strategic point in the narrow coastal pass between İskenderun and Payas. The castle served as a watchpost controlling the coastal road and sea traffic. Today scattered remains of walls and bastions are standing. With its view of the gulf, it is suitable for a short break.
