During the era of the
Crusades there has been a big chaos and disorder at the region, and after
the Ottoman Empire’s sovereignty, the town found the peace and became a
cosmopolite center.
During the era of the
Turkish Republic, Kilyos became the district of Sariyer and after 1960s it
showed big developments in tourism and became the most popular vacation and
activity region for the elite society.
Greek were the first
native people of Kilyos. Like all the other villages, Kilyos took migration
after the battle of Russia in 1877. And no Greek people left in the village
after the treatment of the exchange of the societies.
The first historic place
when you enter the town is the Castle built in the 14th century during the
era of the Genoese. The castle restored by the Ottoman sultan Mahmud II. |
