About Camilca Hill

This thick slice of natural beauty in Istanbul is a sight for sore eyes. Best to explore early in the morning with misty views enjoy the beautifully maintained pathways and make memories in the Istanbul skies. Named after the thick pine trees that survived for long with wildflowers and poppies all around, a place to enjoy the fresh air of nature is the Camilca Hill that encompasses two hills that overlook the Bosphorus and Mamara Sea. This hill is not just a recreational place but is a place where birds like the hawk and falcons were trained so be prepared for some bird spotting while exploring. This attractive place is even celebrated in many literary works by great poets.
