Take some time to take some photos before heading to Çamlıca Mosque, the largest mosque in Turkey. It was opened in 2019 by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Due to its strategic location, it can be seen from every point in Istanbul. Visit the 19th-century Beylerbeyi Palace to see where the Ottoman lords of the empire spent their summers. Enjoy this magnificent venue built during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II. Head towards Eyüp Mosque, one of the most sacred and important mosques in Turkey.
