A hilltop café the 19th-century French writer Pierre Loti is said to have loved. Climb past old cemeteries to the top and the Golden Horn curves away below you toward the city. The ritual is a çay or Turkish coffee on the terrace while the sun goes down. Hours were listed as 08:30–24:00 daily in October 2026.
