Khedive Grove in Beykoz: Walking, Nature and Getting There
Khedive Grove in Çubuklu, Beykoz combines wooded paths with the historic Khedive Pavilion. It is distinct from Beykoz Grove and Otağtepe. Walking and running paths surround the pavilion; check which paths are open and the weather before visiting.
Location and transport
The pavilion area is in Çubuklu: map of Khedive Pavilion. The map marks the pavilion; check the open grove entrance and return route for your starting point. The trip may involve uphill walking; check buses and the final walking section before setting out.
What to see
Walk among the trees and view the exterior of the historic pavilion, respecting any visitor restrictions. The pavilion was built in 1907 for Abbas Hilmi Pasha. Check whether the building and services are open; do not assume pavilion access is included in a grove visit.

History and nature
Istanbul municipality refers to the area as Çubuklu Grove and Khedive Grove, in Beykoz on the Asian side. The pavilion was built in 1907 for Abbas Hilmi Pasha and designed by architect Delfo Seminati. View it from permitted areas of the grounds; access to its interior and services needs a separate current check.The municipality describes walking and running routes among the trees and has reported spring tulip planting. Bloom dates and displays vary from year to year, so check current announcements before planning a visit around flowers.
Planning a visit
First establish your arrival point in Çubuklu and check the open entrance. The map identifies the pavilion itself and may not direct you to the most suitable gate. Plan your return before leaving your arrival point, and do not assume the route is level or that every facility is operating on your visit.Once there, choose a route comfortable for your group and leave time to rest and view the pavilion from permitted areas. You can add another Beykoz destination if time allows, but allow for transport between them rather than assuming the entrances are close together.
Frequently asked questions
Are Khedive Grove and Çubuklu Grove the same? The municipality uses both names for this area; Beykoz Grove is a different site.Can I enter the pavilion? Check its status on the day; entry to the grove does not establish access to the building.
Can opening arrangements change? Groves may close temporarily in strong winds, so check official notices and the weather before setting out.
