Explore Hidiv Kasrı Korusu, the leafy grounds of the Khedive's Palace above the Bosphorus. Follow garden paths to the waterfall, breathe in the flower scents, and rest at a viewpoint bench.
Full description
Hidiv Kasrı Korusu is the landscaped grove surrounding the Khedive Palace, once a residence for Egyptian dignitaries visiting Türkiye. The grounds combine gardens, a waterfall, seating areas and views, and reviewers mention the scent of flowers and the calm atmosphere.
The palace interior has been closed for restoration at times, so the visit centres on the park itself. It stays open until 22:30, making it a good choice for a late-afternoon or early-evening stroll, and about an hour is enough to take in the paths and viewpoints.

Reviews
One of the special places in Istanbul — where nature and history meet at the Khedive Palace. There’s a lovely waterfall, beautiful views, and nice seating areas. A must-visit spot, especially for a weekend walk, though it can get a bit crowded.
