A wonderful local hangout, a teahouse with a view, a coffee shop on top of the city. Camlica is, admittedly, a bit of a pain to get to from the major tourist sites of Istanbul. If you do make the effort, on a clear warm day with few other plans, be prepared to sit around chatting and playing cards for hours at a time. Do as locals do – slowly sip a strong cup of tea while catching up on news and gossip, people watching, or just passing the time as the hours come and go.
