CAMLICA HILL

In rise up from Anatolian Istanbul in all its brilliance, offering a unique perspective on the city. Popular with Sunday strollers, lovers and those needing some fresh air, Camlica Hill is a dearly loved refuge from the stresses of everyday life. Camlica Hill is the highest point in Istanbul at 267m above sea level.

Not surprisingly, the Hill offers the best views, with fewer visitors and wonderful gardens, forests and walking trails, is ultimately the more peaceful of the two. The views are truly amazing, with a panoramic views of all of Istanbul’s main waterways, the Bosphorus Bridge, the historic Eminonu Peninsula, the Princes’ Islands and even Mount Uludag near Bursa.

During springtime, many tulips are planted here in anticipation of the Istanbul Tulip Festival, contributing to the usual mass of brightly colored flowers. The Hills and their surrounding pine forests also attract many different species of birds and other wildlife while the park at the summit has large open spaces from which to enjoy the view.

A scattering of tea gardens and restaurants have set up shop on Büyük Çamlica, and Küçük Çamlica has its own resident tea garden. There are also many street stalls and the Turkish tradition of picnicking and barbequing is a common site on the Hill; it gets especially packed with families on weekends.
