Best Attraction Of Bosphorus/ Istanbul

Aydos Hill

Aydos Hill is the highest point in Istanbul with an altitude of 537 meters. You can see the islands, let alone Istanbul, from this hill, which is cherished by those on the Anatolian side. For this reason, it is the perfect place for sunsets and sunrises. In areas such as Aydos Pond and Aydos Forest recreation area, you can take photos, do sports, or enjoy the picnic leaf view.

Otagtepe / Kavacik

The view of Otağtepe Park, where many TV series and movies are shot, is so beautiful that this must be the place they call a fake paradise. This place, where you can see the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and the Bosphorus bridges from a bird's eye view, cannot be beaten with pleasure when combined with the unique sea view.

Ulus Park / Etiler

Ulus Park, which has perhaps one of the most beautiful views of Istanbul, awaits you in the lush trees and in the heart of the city. You can also have a nice meal with your child at the cafe in the park, and it is a nice park to enjoy the view and fresh air.

Galata Tower / Beyoğlu

Of course, this list could not be completed without writing about the Galata Tower. In my opinion, it is the place with the most beautiful view of Istanbul. I am sure you will admire this view, which is very harmonious with the Bosphorus, Golden Horn, Topkapi Palace view, historical Galata, and Eminonu bridges.

Mihrabad Grove

The Mihrabat grove, located in Kanlıca, one of the most beautiful districts of the Bosphorus, allows you to look at the Bosphorus from a different angle. In the grove, the fresh air and the endless greenery were in his head. When you come to Kanlıca, do not forget to eat Kanlıca yogurt.

Sulaymaniya Mosque

A place where you can watch Istanbul from the heart of Istanbul. The area between the Galata Bridge and Unkapanı Bridge, stretching from Persembe Market to the Golden Horn coast, with a viewing angle of approximately 700 meters, resembles a painting. Although it is five to ten meters high from the sea, the terrace, where you can see Sarayburnu, Hagia Eirene, Hagia Sophia, Galata Bridge, Camlica Hill, and Maiden's Tower, also sees Galata directly opposite.

Yuşa Hill / Beykoz

The highest hill in Istanbul is undoubtedly Yuşa Hill on the ridge of Beykoz. You get the feeling that you are looking at a big pool while watching Istanbul from here. When you break your route from Anadolu Kavağı to Beykoz's Tokat Village, you can watch Istanbul as if you were watching it from a plane. Although it is very far away, it is one of the most visited hills.

Yoros Castle

If you want to spend the weekend avoiding the crowd and noise without being too far from the city, let's take you to Yoros Castle. The castle, which contains all the beauty of green and blue, is located in Anadolu Kavagi.

Rumeli Hisarüstü 

The hill, which sees the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge from a wonderful angle, is also the region where the birds migrating from Istanbul are best watched. İt is also possible to watch Hidiv Kasrı and Anadoluhisarı.

Nakkaştepe / Kuzguncuk

Nakkaştepe, where you can watch Istanbul from a height of 80 meters, is a secluded view terrace between Üryanizade Mansion and İcadiye Hill, but you should open your eyes… It overlooks Çırağan Palace, Yıldız Woods, Feriye and Ortaköy Mosque. From this point, you can breathe in Sarayburnu and Çubuklu with the magnificent Bosphorus view accompanying it.

Fetih Pasha Grove

This huge Fetih Pasha grove stretching from Üsküdar to Kuzguncuk is ideal for landscape photos and hiking. The calm, peaceful air of the grove is enough to take away the stress of the whole week. You can also have breakfast at the facilities inside the grove.

Molla Aski Park / Fatih

Molla Askı park, which has made a name for itself, especially with the Ezel series, has a view covering the Balat-Ayvansaray ridges, Galata, Sütlüce, Çamlıca, Golden Horn, and Fener. It is another pleasure to watch the sparkling scenery while sipping your tea, especially in the evenings.

Mecidiye Mansion is a landscaped terrace where you can watch Istanbul from a very good point, although it is not very high. The balcony in the courtyard of Topkapi Palace, where you can see the Maiden's Tower directly opposite, is almost the entrance line of the Bosphorus. Sarayburnu, Karaköy, Tophane, Dolmabahçe, Beşiktaş, Bosphorus Bridge, Islands, the mansion where you can watch fishermen, ships, and seagulls, was built by Sultan Abdülmecid in the garden of the palace and was completed in 1859.

Buyuk Valide Han

The last favorite of photography enthusiasts is Büyük Valide Han. In this huge inn, which was built by Kösem Sultan in the 17th century, there are many shops, large and small, that smell of history. On the terrace of this historical building, there is the Galata tower with a magnificent Bosphorus view. If you happen to be in Tahtakale and Mahmutpaşa, stop by.

Pierre Loti Hill

Although Pierre Loti Hill does not have a view of the Bosphorus, it is an amazing place that should be on the list. It is one of the most preferred places in Istanbul for its panoramic view of the Golden Horn. This place has the feature of being a historical location that even found its place in Evliya Çelebi's famous Travel Book. It is named after a famous writer.

When you go to Pierre Loti in the Eyüp district today, you are fascinated by the Historical Coffee, restaurant, cafe, hookah house, a hotel consisting of mansions, and an open garden area that can host 1400 people at the same time.

Beykoz Grove

Beykoz Grove, also known as Abraham Grove; Especially on Sundays, can be evaluated together with the open buffet breakfast offered at Beykoz Koru Social Facilities. The fact that even squirrels and rabbits roam freely around and the trees that surround the city make Beykoz Grove especially attractive for families with children. In the background, the Bosphorus view is always ready and overlooked. Especially for those who are bored with traffic, noise, and air pollution, Beykoz is an escape point with all its districts and groves.
