Located in the central part of Eyüp district, Pierre Loti Hill stands out as one of the most famous hills of Istanbul with its unique panorama of the Golden Horn. The place was named after the French novelist Pierre Loti, who came to Istanbul in 1876 and settled here and is known for his frequent visits to a coffee house on this hill. The garden offers a clear panorama of the entire Golden Horn. It is quite difficult to find somewhere to hang out here, especially on weekends! This is because Pierre Loti is mostly preferred for weekend breakfasts while enjoying tea and coffee along with the view of the Golden Horn, and for events like dinner.
In addition to its breathtaking views, Pierre Loti Hill also boasts a rich history and cultural significance. It has been a gathering place for intellectuals, artists, and locals alike for centuries. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the charming traditional cafes and restaurants, creates an inviting ambiance that attracts visitors from all over the world.
Aside from enjoying a leisurely breakfast or dinner, visitors to Pierre Loti Hill can explore the surrounding area, which is steeped in history. Nearby attractions include the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, one of the most important religious sites in Istanbul, and the historic Eyüp Cemetery, where many prominent figures from Turkish history are buried.
For those interested in outdoor activities, Pierre Loti Hill offers opportunities for leisurely strolls along its winding pathways or adventurous hikes through its lush greenery. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city or simply want to soak in the beauty of Istanbul from a different perspective, Pierre Loti Hill is a must-visit destination.
However, due to its popularity, especially on weekends, it's advisable to arrive early to secure a good spot and avoid the crowds. But even if you find yourself amidst a throng of visitors, the magical views and tranquil atmosphere of Pierre Loti Hill are sure to make your visit unforgettable.
