İBB Hidiv Kasrı Korusu

Hidiv Kasrı Grove (İBB Hidiv Kasrı Korusu) is a hilltop park and hiking area on the Asian side of the Bosphorus in the Çubuklu neighborhood of Beykoz, Istanbul. It takes its name from the grand Art Nouveau mansion at its heart—the Khedive's Pavilion (Hidiv Kasrı), built in 1907 for Abbas Hilmi Pasha, the last Khedive (viceroy) of Ottoman Egypt, and designed by the Italian architect Delfo Seminati. Beyond the mansion, the grove itself is the reason to come: a vast blanket of mature trees covering steep slopes and the crest of the ridge, with sweeping views across the strait, shaded walking paths, a celebrated rose garden, and a Beltur-run restaurant set among the greenery. Part historic estate, part public woodland, it is one of the quietest, most leafy escapes on the Bosphorus.
