The Pontic fortress of Kainokhorion (also Mahalic Kalesi) lies some 35km/22mi north of Erbaa near the village of Ahretköy but it can only reached along some poor roads. It was here that Mithradetes VI Eupator sought protection in 70 B.C. The most interesting sight in the Erbaa region is without doubt Horoztepe, a short distance to the south. Valuable finds from the Hittite era have been unearthed here including cult rattles, banners and mother figures. These are now displayed in an Ankara Museum.
