Its story

The hill, about 200 meters high, contains a long grave popularly believed to belong to the Prophet Joshua (Hz. Yuşa). The grave and the small mosque beside it have long been a place of pilgrimage. From the hill you can see the northern part of the Bosphorus, Anadolu Kavağı and the waterway opening onto the Black Sea. The area can be combined with a trip to Anadolu Kavağı and Yoros Castle.
