Eregli the ancient Greek Herakleia (Ηράκλεια Ποντική - Heraclea Pontica) was founded in the 6th century BC by Greeks from Megara and Tanagra. It became one of the most important commercial and cultural centers in the Hellenic Black Sea. It was believed to have been near one of the entrances to Hades, the very entrance that Hades, the very entrance that Hercules used to enter Hades in his labor of fetching the three headed dog Cerberos. Xenophon in 355 BC, on his way back to Greece, stopped at Herakleia and was shown the place on the Acherusian peninsula (Cape Baba) where Hercules entered Hades.
In 364-353 BC Herakleia was ruled by the tyrant Clearchos who was credited with liberating the serfs and building the first public library. His dynasty stayed in power until 288 BC. His son Dionysios ruled over several cities including Sesamos and Tieum. He was married to [Amastris the founder of Amastris (modern Amasra). In Roman times, Herakleia was an ally of Mithridates Eupator (ca 120-63 BC) and as a result was razed to the ground by the Roman general Cotta. Strabo describes it as a city with a good harbor. The Byzantines built a citadel here. In 1360 AD the town was taken by the Turks but was also used by the Genoese as a trading post. It was later incorporated into the Ottoman Empire. In 1922 its sizable Greek population was forced to abandon their homes, under the Greek-Turkish treaty.
There were many famous people from Herakleia including Heracleides Ponticos (ca 390-310 BC) who was a student of Plato and proposed the Heliocentric system, and Dionysios of Herakleia (c 330-250 BC) who was a stoic philosopher and friend of Zenon, the founder of stoicism.

Sile
41°10.6′N, 29°35.9′E
Sile is Black Sea low key resort and a fishing town not very far from Bosphorus.
The town is up the hill along a palisade and it is very attractive. There is at least one good good restaurant along the water front in the south east corner of the harbour.
In quiet conditions it is possible to anchor just west of the harbour. It is best to enter the harbor and anchor off in 6 m, just to the right of the W jetty or just west of the small internal fishing harbour. The bottom is full of weed and while the holding is good the chain will be completely coated by a thin green weed the consistency of cotton candy.
The south side of the harbour is very shallow. The break water has been recently extended so that there is a smaller entrance to the harbour. Some guides indicate a very shallow entrance and that you must enter if you have a draft of more than 2m on the northern side. As at July 2011 the middle of the entrance to the harbour is 5 m.
