Discover Kılıçlı: Park, cycling and cultural history

Kılıçlı can be explored for trip planning through specific features of the area: Kılıçlı Park, with its stated area and facilities; two past editions of L’Étape Türkiye by Tour de France; and a renewed square and places of cultural and historical interest. This can help you decide which aspect matters most for your stay. The route details relate to the dates of the respective events; they do not describe a permanently marked route.

Kılıçlı Park: area and facilities

The report on the park’s renovation, dated 21 May 2024, gives the area of Kılıçlı Park as 4,012 m². The renovation described in May 2024 also included 2,771 m² of green space, a basketball court, a 108 m² fitness area and six covered picnic tables. The total area and the green space are different measures; green space accounts for around 69 percent of the total area. The individual facilities further define the park’s character. If you are considering the park as a factor in your choice, you can weigh its size, proportion of green space and facilities separately.

Cycling: two past routes

The 105 km long route of L’Étape Türkiye by Tour de France passed through Kılıçlı on 12 October 2025 and 20 September 2026, running between Bozhane and Riva on both occasions. Both editions shared the same total distance of 105 km and route through Kılıçlı between Bozhane and Riva. The 2026 route is listed as having a total elevation gain of 1,583 m; this figure applies to the entire 105 km course, not just the section in Kılıçlı. Distance and elevation gain therefore describe two different measures of the 2026 long route. The routes are tied to these events and are not permanently marked routes. If your trip coincides with a future race, check the specific event date.

Kılıçlı Meydanı

Kılıçlı Meydanı was also renovated as part of the renewal of public squares in Beykoz; the Beykoz Municipality reported on this on 14 February 2024. The square serves a different purpose from Kılıçlı Park: the focus at the Meydanı is the renovation of a public square, while the park is defined by its area and individual facilities. This allows you to factor two different features of the area into your trip planning.

Cultural and historical features

Two cemeteries point to different cultural and historical features. Kılıçlı Köyü Aşağı Mahalle Mezarlığı is a hazire cemetery in Kılıçlı. Kılıçlı Köyü Yukarı Mahalle Mezarlığı contains gravestones from the Ottoman period. The distinction is specific: at Aşağı Mahalle, the cemetery is identified as a hazire, while at Yukarı Mahalle, the feature is gravestones from the Ottoman period. If you would also like to understand Kılıçlı in its cultural and historical context, these features offer two different points of reference.
