Tümay was a wonderful host! He helped us out a lot beforehand with how to get to Sile and once we got there it was really easy to find the apartment, which was very spacious and had everything one could possibly need when travelling (nice shower, kitchen with some supplies, comfortable beds). The balcony had a beautiful view over the Black Sea (it was only 5 minutes walking to the nearest by beach). Not only did we get a nice apartment, but Tümay also showed us around town, gave us very tasty watermelon after an afternoon on the beach and brought us to the farmer’s market, where we were warmly welcomed (with lots of food). Sile is relatively close by Istanbul and thus a perfect addition to your stay there, if you want to get away from the busy city life for a couple of days and enjoy some beach.
