Geocache Description:


Pierre Loti Heights / Pierre Loti Tepesi

Pierre Loti (pseudonym of Julien Viaud, 1850 - 1923) was a French novelist and naval officer (visit link)

He visited many times Istanbul and wrote novels, part autobiography part romance, about Istanbul life. During his stays in Istanbul, he used to visit frequently the cafe at the heights named today after his name. This cafe still exists today.

From the several cafes and restaurans in Pierre Loti Heights, you may have very beatifuls views of the city.

However, before taking a rest, we suggest you to find the box we hid near the historical café where Loti was daydreaming frequently and was meeting secretely Mrs. Aziyade, the ottoman lady, heroine of his novel "Aziyadé".

Our box, wrapped in camouflage cloth, sits on a garden wall, hidden by nearby foliage. It contains a nice evil eye talisman (visit link) ) which will protect the one who will be the first to find from evil eyes and will bring luck to the bearer.

***************

Pierre Loti (asil adi Julien Viaud) 1850 - 1923 yillari arasinda yasamis olan Fransiz deniz subayi ve romancisidir. Bir deniz subayi olarak pek çok yer gezdi ve gezdigi yerlerin yasamini ve kültürününü romanlarina yansitti. Ilk kitaplari Aziyade ve Izlanda Balikçisi ile edebiyat dünyasinda kabul gördü. 1981 yilinda Fransiz Akademisine seçildi.

Birçok kez Istanbul'da bulunmus olan Pierre Loti, Türkiye'ye ilk gelisinde ( 1876 -1877 ) Aziyade adinda genç ve evli bir Osmanli kadinina gönlünü kaptirir. Loti, Eyüp'teki evinde sik sik bulustugu genç kadinla yasadigi günleri günlüge yazar .

Istanbul'dan ayrildiktan sonra Aziyade ile yasadiklarini "Aziyade" diye bir kitapta toplar. On yil sonra Pierre Loti Istanbul'a tekrar geldiginde ise, Aziyade'nin ölümüyle yikilir. Fransiz yazar, Türkiye'de bulundugu sürece basinda fes, elinde tesbihle Türk kiligina girip Türkler'in arasinda gezinmekten hoslanir, sik sik Haliç sirtlarindaki bir kahveye gider, anilarini yadeder, görkemli manzarada eski günlerine dönermis. Haliç sirtlarindaki bu yer o zamandan beri Pierre Loti Tepesi olarak anilmakta.

Istanbul Belediyesinin düzenlemeleri sonunda bugün Piyer Loti tepesinde güzel bir turistik kompleks var. Buradan Haliç'in sonundan girisine kadar genis bir manzarayi seyrederken, tarihi kahvede bir çay içmek gerek.

Ama önce, yakinlara yerlestirdigimiz kutuyu bulmanizi öneriyoruz.

Kamuflaj kumasina sarili kutu bir bahçe duvarinin üzerinde, otlarin arasina yerlestirildi. Içinde güzel bir de nazar boncugu var.
