She is the beautiful girl of the Golden Horn. She is a legendary Istanbul story with her warmth and sincerity. Pierre Loti Hill, which makes everyone who sees it fall in love with its view, continues to be among the symbols of Istanbul. When the weather is nice on the weekends, this beautiful hill, which many people flock to, hosts its guests with a cup of tea with its never-deteriorating texture. Pierre Loti, where you can enjoy the Golden Horn view and the cable car at the same time, is said to have been named after an Istanbul lover. Pierre Loti, whose real name is Julien Viaud…

It is known that French writer and orientalist Julien Viaud, who came to Istanbul as a commissioned officer in 1876 and settled there, met the woman who gave her name to his novel Aziyade on this hill. We think that the writer, who describes himself as a friend of the Turks at every opportunity, never gave up on the beauty of the Golden Horn. His admiration for Istanbul has ensured that the hill and many places in Istanbul are called Pierre Loti. This heartwarming hill takes its place at the top of the list of places to visit on the weekend in Istanbul. While some prefer to have breakfast with a beautiful view, others think that hot tea and bagel are enough. In short, everyone who comes does the activity that will be best for them. If you somehow happen to come to Pierre Loti Hill, there are two best alternative places for you.

HISTORICAL PIERRE LOTI COFFEE

In fact, it is the first place that offers the view of Pierre Loti Hill to the fullest. The coffee house, which creates the feeling of coming out of the dusty pages of history with its old-fashioned tables and chairs, never gets empty in the summer months. It is useful to go early in the morning to find a place. Otherwise, you may waste time waiting for any table to empty. Sitting at the table closest to the view becomes a great privilege. There is no reason not to include the coffee house, which is especially popular with romantic couples, in your weekend route.

AZİYADE RESTAURANT

Taking its name from Julien Viaud's work, Aziyade Restaurant is a place that manages to make every guest happy with its various food alternatives. The restaurant, which is an ideal spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner, offers a beautiful view with its open areas in the summer. It also hosts organizations with its open and closed areas in the summer and winter seasons.
