Silivri

To the east of Silivri is Büyükçekmece, to the north is Çatalca, to the west are the districts of Çorlu and Marmara Ereğlisi, and to the south is the Marmara Sea. Today, the district center extends from 1 km east of Muratçeşme to the Alipasa junction. Within the district boundaries, there are small streams such as Çanta Stream, Gelevri Stream, Kova Stream, and Tuzla Stream.

Silivri’s predominant characteristic is its lack of trees, with the dominant vegetation being steppe. The steppe presents a relatively unchanging and uniform appearance. As one moves north towards the mountain villages, the increase in elevation and more favorable humidity conditions result in the beginning of forested areas. The current landscape generally consists of tree trunks and occasional shrubbery.

Wild animals found in the forest include wild boar, roe deer, rabbits, wolves, jackals, foxes, weasels, martens, skunks, badgers, moles, mice, squirrels, snakes, quails, woodcocks, ducks, geese, pigeons, falcons, hawks, and sparrowhawks. Winters are generally cold and rainy, while summers are mild.

In addition to being located on major highways, Silivri benefits from being at the entrance of some of Turkey's largest trade and industrial centers. It is connected to large residential and industrial centers in the surrounding area by modern highways.

The population of Silivri district is 221,723.
