Çamlica 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. 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 of Istanbul’s mosques form a stunning canvas against the colorful sky. Spring is perhaps the best time of the year to climb the hill when in bloom. Wildflowers, tulips and birds migrate.
