"Çamlıca Hill, also known as Büyük Çamlıca Tepesi (Big Çamlıca Hill) to differentiate it from the nearby Little Çamlıca Hill (Küçük Çamlıca Tepesi), is a hill in the Üsküdar district of the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey. It is a popular visitor attraction with Ottoman-themed teahouses, cafes and a restaurant inside a public park with monumental trees, flower gardens and fountains, run by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
The hill is composed of two major peaks: Büyük Çamlıca (Big Çamlıca) reaching 267 meters (876 ft) and Küçük Çamlıca (Little Çamlıca) reaching 150 meters (492 ft). Çamlıca Hill offers panoramic views of the entire city, the Bosphorus Strait, and the Sea of Marmara. It is one of the highest points in Istanbul and offers the best 360-degree views of the city.
The most popular activity at Çamlıca Hill is simply to enjoy the views. You can see the entire city of Istanbul, from the historic peninsula to the modern skyscrapers on the Asian side. The Bosphorus Strait and the Sea of Marmara are also visible from the hill."
