Visit the prophet's tomb, which has been built over Abu Ayyub's grave in his honor.

Continue to the Pierre Loti Coffee House via the Teleferique cable car and enjoy charming panoramic views of the Golden Horn freshwater estuary as you ascend 1,800 feet (550 m). Pause for a coffee and enjoy the wonderful views at the site where the French poet Pierre Loti sat to write.

Next, it’s time to explore Miniatürk, one of the world's largest miniature parks, covering a total area of 650,000 square feet (60,000 sm). Stroll through the park as you encounter 58 structures from Istanbul, 52 from Anatolia, and 12 from the Ottoman territories that today lie outside of Turkey.
