Camlica Hill

There are many things to do and see at Istanbul’s Camlica Hill, which is located on the Asian side of the city. Camlica Hill provides sweeping views of the city from its summit. 265 meters above sea level, this is the highest point in Istanbul to get the finest views. It is possible to enjoy the views from a variety of cafés and eateries. 

Enjoy a walk in the colorful gardens after taking in the wide views. Spend some time in the historical recreation facilities on the property. An Ottoman-style home with a matching interior is the setting for this story. Istanbul’s municipality runs the restaurant, which serves dishes including Sirloin steak packed with vegetables and roasted eggplants. To top it off, you may enjoy traditional Turkish music as you dine. 

Gulhane Park

Tourists and locals alike enjoy Gulhane Park today. The park is vast. Some of the gardens and outdoor cafés provide sweeping views of the Bosporus. Take a break at one of the park’s outdoor cafés, where you’ll be able to relax in the company of magnificent gardens, pools, and the Bosphorus. The old Imperial Stables Building in the Gulhane Park houses the Museum of the History of Science and Technology in Islam, which is well worth a visit. Because it’s one of a kind, you can observe the development of science in Islamic culture. 

Fethi Pasa Grove

In Uskudar and Belerbeyi, the Fethi Pasha Grove is a wonderful spot to relax with a drink and see the city and Bosphorus from afar. 16 hectares of open space and a spectacular view of the Bosphorus may be found there. Particularly on the weekends, it attracts a large number of people. 

Dolmabahce Gardens!

Dolmabahçe Palace, located in Beşiktaş, a famous retail area, with a view of the Bosphorus on the European side. Sultan Abdulmecit relocated the whole palace from the Topkapi complex to Dolmabahçe Royal in the mid-1850s, leaving behind the palace complex and its traditional architecture/interiors behind. 

In contrast to the Topkapi Palace, the interiors here have a blend of Ottoman and European designs. With its 285 rooms, silk and rug-draped chambers, grand staircase, and enormous crystal chandeliers, the opulent mansion is a testament to its occupants’ wealth and the architect’s talent.
