Highlights of Silivri
Silivri is one of Istanbul's westernmost districts, at the gateway to Thrace and roughly an hour and a half from the city centre. With farmland, dairies famous for their yoghurt and a long coastline, it feels more like a country town than part of a metropolis. Neighbourhoods such as Selimpaşa, Gümüşyaka and Değirmenköy are full of summer compounds, and the area comes alive with holidaying Istanbulites in July and August. Remains of Byzantine walls and the Piri Mehmet Paşa Mosque, attributed to Mimar Sinan, reflect its long history. Visitors include families heading for summer homes, people with business at factories in Thrace, and those visiting institutions in the area. Being so far out, airport transfers take time; the Northern Marmara Motorway and the E-5 are the two usual routes. In the beach neighbourhoods, gated entrances and narrow inner roads make a precise address essential.

Silivri Kalesi
