Camlica Hill: Istanbul’s Secret Paradise

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 #Turkey If you come to Istanbul and only check in those well-known popular attractions, you will really miss a place that is worth visiting - Camlica Hill. Although this mountain is not high, it is one of the best viewing points in the entire city. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can almost see a 360-degree panoramic view: the Bosphorus Strait runs across both sides, and Europe and Asia are in full view. It is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. What surprises me is that this place has not yet been flooded with tourists! Therefore, the overall atmosphere is very quiet, very suitable for walking slowly and watching quietly. Surrounded by large forests, there are many paths and benches. Sitting down, drinking a cup of coffee and quietly enjoying the magnificent view of the Bosphorus is really a spiritual relaxation. If you bring children with you, don’t worry - as you walk up the mountain towards the tower, you’ll pass through a forest area where there are actually two free children’s play areas! There is also a mosque on the mountain with toilets inside, but this is the only drawback here: there are no public toilets in the park area of ​​the entire mountain, and you can only go to the mosque to use the toilet, which may be a bit inconvenient for some people.
