Camlica Hill

Camlica Hill is one of the highest points in the Bosphorus and Istanbul, rising 267 meters above sea level on the Asian side of Anatolia in Istanbul. The hill is located on the borders of Iskender district and offers wonderful panoramic views of the city as well as the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus. On a clear spring day, you can see all the way to the Princes’ Islands and the snow-capped hills of Mount Uludag. At sunset, the domes and minarets of many Istanbul mosques form a stunning canvas against the colorful sky. Spring is perhaps the best time of the year to climb the hill when they are in bloom. Wildflowers, tulips and migratory birds.
