Silivri, the old Greek Selymbria or Selybria, owed its authentic significance to the common harbor and the situation on the real business streets. It was a province of Megara established on a precarious 56 m high slope east of the sound, yet unearthings demonstrate that it was a Thracian settlement before it was a Greek colony.
