About Şile
Şile is a Black Sea resort town of 15,000 inhabitants (rising to over 200,000 in summer) northeast of Istanbul on the Anatolian Black Sea coast — the most popular beach resort accessible from Istanbul, whose broad sandy beaches (the town beach and the more secluded Ağva beaches further along the coast), dramatic Black Sea cliff scenery and medieval Genoese lighthouse (14th century, the most picturesque landmark on the Turkish Black Sea coast near Istanbul) make it the classic Istanbul summer escape destination. Şile's beaches — while not warm by Mediterranean standards — offer the distinctive atmosphere of the Black Sea coast, with wilder waves and a cooler, more rugged character than the Marmara beaches.
Şile is also celebrated for its traditional textile — the Şile bezi (Şile cloth), a loosely woven, breathable cotton fabric produced in the town since the medieval period, famous across Turkey for its use in summer clothing (the traditional Şile bezi shirts and dresses are sold in every shop in the town). The Şile Lighthouse (14th century Genoese, rebuilt in the 19th century, on a small island connected to the shore by a causeway, 50 metres high, automated since 1958) is the most photographed landmark on the Turkish Black Sea coast between Istanbul and Sinop. The forested hills of the Şile hinterland (the Şile Forest, part of the northern Anatolian coastal forest ecosystem that extends along the entire Black Sea shore) and the river mouth at Ağva (the most scenic spot on the coast, 35km east of Şile, where the Göksu and Yeşilçay rivers meet the Black Sea) extend the coastal experience.
Important Transfer Information
Black Sea Beaches and Genoese Lighthouse: Şile's broad sandy Black Sea beaches and the medieval Genoese lighthouse (14th century, rebuilt 19th century, on a small island causeway, 50 metres, the most photographed landmark on the Turkish Black Sea coast near Istanbul) give it a character quite unlike the Marmara resorts — wilder, cooler and less crowded, with the distinctive atmosphere of the Black Sea coast accessible within an hour from Istanbul's most easterly airport.
Şile Bezi — Traditional Breathable Cotton Textile: Şile bezi (Şile cloth) — the loosely woven, highly breathable cotton fabric produced in Şile since medieval times — is one of Turkey's most celebrated traditional textiles, its shirts and dresses worn throughout Turkey in summer for their exceptional comfort in hot weather. Every shop in Şile sells the cloth in various traditional and contemporary designs.
D020 Black Sea Coast Transfer: The transfer from Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Şile takes approximately 48 minutes via the D020 coastal road northeast through the forested Anatolian hills to the Black Sea coast — a scenic drive through the northern Istanbul hinterland entirely on the Asian side.
