Though Turkey is a popular summer destination, its Black Sea Coast remains relatively unknown – the Mediterranean sun-soaked coast overshadows the northern side with more amenities, more sun and a greater choice. On the other hand, the Black Sea Coast will offer you fewer crowds and more deserted beaches. Şile is a popular spot with inhabitants of Istanbul, many of whom have summer houses here as it’s just an hour’s drive from the city. The fortress and the lighthouse make the unique skyline of the town, while the beach consists both of rocks and sand.
