Büyük Çamlica Off
A hilltop park with a crown of pine trees, Büyük Çamlıca is the highest point in the city and can be seen from miles away. It's beloved by İstanbullus, who flock here to relax, picnic in the pretty gardens, eat at the Çamlıca Restaurant and gaze upon their fine city. From the terraces you'll see the minaret-filled skyline of Old İstanbul, as well as the Bosphorus winding its way to the Black Sea.
