Filyos (Tios)
According to legend, the city was founded in the BCE 7th century. Known variously as Tios, Tieion, Tianon, and Tium throughout its history, the city was unable to gain political power in the shadow of Ereğli and Amasra and was burnt and looted in BCE 70 during the Roman period. It was later rebuilt and continued its existence as a trading and fishing town. It became a prominent religious centre in the 5th century during the Byzantine Period, but lost importance during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods (14th-15th centuries) and eventually reverted to a small fishing village.
