Şile sits on the Black Sea coast of Istanbul, holding on to its small-town identity at a calm distance from the metropolis. Its emblem, the Şile Lighthouse, was built by the French in 1858-59 and is one of the oldest surviving lighthouses on Turkey's Black Sea coast. Right beside it, the Genoese-era walls of Şile Castle rise on the small islet that carries the lighthouse.

The town is the birthplace of the traditional Şile cloth — a cotton fabric printed with embroidered patterns, surviving for centuries as the home production of local women. In summer, the beaches of Ağlayankaya, Kumbaba and Ağva offer the most accessible weekend swims out of Istanbul; the Black Sea's cool and choppy character also makes them a favourite for surfers. With its small fishing harbour, hazelnut-and-walnut market and narrow town streets, Şile turns into a proper escape outside the metropolis.
