Full Description

Half-Day Tour of Beylerbeyi Palace, Camlica Hill & Bosphorus

Embark on an enriching half-day afternoon tour exploring two of Istanbul’s most treasured landmarks—the Beylerbeyi Palace and the panoramic Camlica Hill.

Beylerbeyi Palace
Set on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, Beylerbeyi Palace served as the Ottoman sultans' luxurious summer residence and a guesthouse for visiting foreign dignitaries. Commissioned by Sultan Abdulaziz (1861-1876) and designed by the Balyan family architects Sarkis and Agop, the palace opened in 1865 with a grand ceremony. Beylerbeyi is known for its European-style neo-Baroque architecture and beautiful marble construction. This historical gem features grand halls, exquisite furnishings, and spacious gardens, each with stories of the Ottoman Empire’s grandeur.

Camlica Hill
From Beylerbeyi Palace, the tour continues to Camlica Hill, one of Istanbul’s highest peaks, offering breathtaking city and Bosphorus views. Divided into Large Camlica and Small Camlica, this hilltop destination is famous for its picturesque settings and vibrant amenities. Large Camlica Hill is popular for its cafes, restaurants, and green spaces, while Small Camlica Hill offers scenic pavilions and groves that reflect Istanbul’s traditional charm.

Tour Highlights:

• Conducted entirely by bus for ease of access to both landmarks.
• Includes a visit to a local shopping store (shopping optional).
• No hotel pick-up service provided; meet-up point details are given at booking.

Important Notes:

• Beylerbeyi Palace, located on the sea-facing side of the Asian Bosphorus coast, is one of the few large palaces outside the European Bosphorus line, making it an essential historical site for its unique location and architectural beauty.
• Camlica Hill offers some of the best views of the cityscape and is a popular spot for social gatherings, thanks to its green areas, cafes, and traditional pavilions.
