Its story

Sillyon is built on a high hill overlooking the surroundings, about 15 km from Serik. It was also used as an important fortress in the Byzantine period. Among the remains, now in ruins, the city gates, a ramp road and sections of wall can be made out. It is a quiet place to explore, away from the tourist crowds.
