Şile kalesi

Şile kalesi is a historical gem located on Ocaklı Island off the coast of the Black Sea. This picturesque castle, combining Byzantine and Genoese influences, is only accessible at low tide or by boat, which adds to its mysterious charm.

The fortress walls offer breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and rocky cliffs. The castle, which according to various sources was built about 1,000 years ago, served as a strategic watchtower.

History, photography and nature lovers will find something to enjoy here - ancient stone walls, informative plaques and a peaceful, isolated atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
