According to historical records, novelist Pierre Loti frequently visited the cafe known as Rabia Kadin Kahvesi on this hill at that time and wrote his novel Aziyade against the Golden Horn view. The hill takes its name from him, and since then it is a great place for visiting and relaxing. Today, tea houses are frequently visited by tourists, and it is possible to reach the hill by the TF2 (Eyup-Pierre Loti) Cable Car Line.
