PRACTICAL ACCESS & WALKING METHOD
Ride up from the centre and walk the final section. If you choose to climb on foot, allow extra time for breaks and the return.
HISTORY & ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXT
Boztepe’s slopes overlook the port, city centre and Black Sea shore. Viewpoints around the tea gardens and the observation platforms lower down occupy the same hillside. Clear weather reveals both the coastline and the dense pattern of city streets.
Why visit
Trace the city from the hillside down to the sea.
VISITOR TIP — WHAT NOT TO MISS
Mist can hide the view, so choose a clear spell. Seating and refreshments may carry a charge.
