TL;DR
The reported viewpoint is by Kendirli Parkı in Beylerbeyi, Üsküdar, on Istanbul’s Asian shore. It looks toward the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, the lighthouse at Kalkanvalar Yalısı, and the Ortaköy side of the Bosphorus.
For the lighthouse-and-bridge view, head to the waterfront by Kendirli Parkı in Beylerbeyi, Üsküdar, on Istanbul’s Asian side.
A useful landmark at the viewpoint is the signal lighthouse by the historic Kalkanvalar Yalısı waterfront mansion; the First Bosphorus Bridge, now the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, appears behind it.
For a broader Bosphorus lighthouse route, Çengelköy and Defterdar Burnu lighthouses are mentioned north of the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, with the Arnavutköy lighthouse farther up the strait.
