A sprawling hillside park that was once the private garden of Yıldız Palace — the last imperial residence in Istanbul. Wander through rare trees, duck into ornate pavilions, and climb to the Çadır Köşkü for tea with a view that explains why sultans chose this hill. On weekends, it fills with families and picnickers; on weekdays, you might have the winding paths to yourself.
