Pierre Loti Hill

A Historical and Scenic Destination in Istanbul

Pierre Loti Hill is a historical and touristic hill located in the Eyüp district of Istanbul. The hill is named after Pierre Loti, a French novelist who lived in the 19th century. The author frequently expressed his love for Istanbul and his fondness for this hill in his works. Pierre Loti Hill is about 55 meters above sea level and has a commanding view of the Golden Horn. From the top of the hill, important symbols of Istanbul such as the Golden Horn, Topkapı Palace, Süleymaniye Mosque, and the Bosphorus Bridge can be seen. This magnificent view is a major attraction for visitors. At the top of the hill, there is a historic cafe named after Pierre Loti, who gave the hill its name. This cafe is frequently visited by both locals and tourists. Sitting on the terrace of the cafe and watching the magnificent view of Istanbul with tea or coffee is a pleasant experience for many people. There are two options for getting to Pierre Loti Hill. One is the walking path that starts at the foot of the hill and leads to the top. The other option is the cable car that departs from the side of the Eyüp Sultan Mosque. Taking the cable car can be an entertaining experience, especially for children. Pierre Loti Hill is one of the most important tourist destinations in Istanbul, thanks to its historical and natural beauty, and magnificent views. It is frequently visited by both locals and tourists.
