Nostalgia at French writer Pierre Loti's (1850-1923) favorite cafe in Eyup... Cafe Pierre Loti is named after the famous 'turc lover' frenchman whose real name is Julien Viaud. During his stay in Turkey, the writer loved wearing a 'fes' ( Turkish hat ) and walking around with prayer beads just like a Turkish man would back then.He came frequently to this cafe which has a gorgeous view over the Golden Horn, to remember his memories and to write some books.We don't know the exact process but since then, this area is called Pierre Loti.
