This lighthouse has become the most significant symbol of Şile that has protected the Isle for many years. Sile Lighthouse is the largest lighthouse in Turkey and the second largest in the world. Many people find lighthouses fascinating. If you are one of them, you can visit this lighthouse that stretches towards the middle of the sea with the wild winds coming from the sea, and you can visit the tiny maritime museum inside. Built by a French architect in the 17th century during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz who throughout his 15-year rule built lighthouses along the beaches, this lighthouse is stunning. Its construction was intended to aid in the navigation of ships traveling from the Black Sea to Istanbul during the Crimean War. The largest lighthouse in Turkey, the Sile Lighthouse, conforms with international requirements. Constructed on 60-meter-high rocks, the 19-meter-tall lighthouse features a covered stone tower that is 110 cm thick. It is painted horizontally in black and white so that the lighthouse is clearly visible and can be identified during the day. Scenes that are just waiting for you to adore and imagine them. There is a day tour you can join with Istanbul Tourist Pass®, after this tour inspiring nature will change you forever.
