viewistanbul: Pierre Loti Tepesi (Pierre Loti Hill)

You can’t just pass through Istanbul without enjoying its views, especially in a city known as the “City of Seven Hills.”

One of those hills, Pierre Loti Hill, is a historic spot that offers a different charm by day and night. During the day, you can take in the bustling cityscape, while at night, the romantic atmosphere takes over. It’s a must-visit!

This is Pierre Loti Hill, where the sunset paints the Golden Horn in shades of red, and small wooden tables and chairs with quaint red and white checkered tablecloths await.

If you’re someone who finds beauty in the everyday, not just nostalgia, Pierre Loti Hill is one of the must-visit spots in Istanbul.

After visiting Eyup Sultan Mosque, take the cable car up to Pierre Loti Hill, take a deep breath, and in summer, cool off with a cold drink, or in winter, warm up with a hot cup of tea.

You can reach Pierre Loti Hill by taxi or take the cable car departing from the Eyup waterfront. This hill has been the backdrop for memorable scenes in many movies and TV series.
