Çamlıca Tepesi (Büyük Çamlıca Parkı)

Directions

Istanbul's highest hill on the Asian side, offering the most panoramic 360-degree view of the entire city — both the European and Asian shores, the Bosphorus, the Golden Horn, and the Marmara Sea. The park has tea gardens, walking paths, and a large mosque nearby. The view is genuinely unmatched, but the area is heavily visited on weekends and the new mosque construction has altered the historic character somewhat.
