Where the hotel is
Değirmen Otel Şile is a beach hotel on Azmaya Caddesi in the Çavuş neighbourhood, close to the centre of Şile on Istanbul's Black Sea coast. Şile Central Mosque and Şile Square are a short walk away, and Democracy Square and Şile Castle are within a few minutes' walk. Kumbaba Park is a short drive along the coast. Grand Otel Şile is just around the corner, and Marin Otel and Kumbaba Otel are nearby.
Şile sits on the Asian side, so Sabiha Gökçen is often the natural choice, but many international flights land at Istanbul Airport instead. Both are served, and this page lists the fixed price from each, so you can compare before booking and pick the airport that suits your flight.
