Take the cable car up through the old cemetery above Eyüp, and you'll arrive at this hilltop café named after the French novelist who fell in love with Istanbul's melancholy beauty. The views over the Golden Horn are sweeping and timeless — order a Turkish coffee, settle into the terrace, and watch the light shift across the water just as Pierre Loti himself did over a century ago.
