Places to see
There is a 14th-century Genoese castle in the village, which was restored during the era of the Ottoman sultan Mahmud II, but it is not publicly accessible since it is located in the military zone. A historical cistern, eight cannons, and a 26-meter-high monumental plane tree are also within the castle area.{{cite web |title=General information on Kilyos |publisher=Governorship of Istanbul |date=2009 |url=http://harika.istanbul.gov.tr/Default.aspx?pid=320 |language=Turkish |accessdate=2009-09-01 |archive-date=2008-12-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216110833/http://harika.istanbul.gov.tr/Default.aspx?pid=320 |url-status=dead }}
