The French naval officer who wrote
novels under the pen name of Pierre
Loti used to come to this Istanbul hilltop overlooking Eyüp and the Golden
Horn to contemplate the city he had
come to love.
Loti's cafe was a very basic place
with a few stools and a small stove
for brewing coffee. Today the cafe
is far nicer, with shady tables, a
variety of beverages and snacks, and
even a hotel and full-fledged restaurant.
If you feel like walking, make the
15-minute stroll uphill from Eyüp through
the picturesque cemetery. If not, take
the cable car, and walk down to Eyüp after your coffee.
