Pierre Loti Hill

Pierre Loti Hill, on the slopes of Eyüp, is one of Istanbul’s most classic viewpoints for overlooking the Golden Horn. Named after the French writer Pierre Loti, who had a strong interest in Istanbul, the area offers more than a brief sightseeing stop when considered together with Eyüp’s historic character. The cable car ride is also a distinctive part of the visitor experience.
