Fethipaşa Grove starts from the north of Üsküdar and covers all the hills and slopes until it ends at Kuzguncuk Hill. It takes its name from Damat Fethi Ahmet Pasha, who served as the Tophane Governor during the reigns of Mahmud II (1808-1839) and Abdülmecid (1839-1861). The last owner of the grove is lawyer Şevket Mocan, the grandson of the pasha.

Writer Cemil Meriç also lived in a house within this grove for a long time. The most common tree species in the grove include kermes oak, laurel, white mulberry, mastic, Judas tree, and silver linden. In the upper part of the grove, there are rows of monumental trees such as Scots pines, stone pines, cedars, and mastic trees that have grown to large sizes. Additionally, there are horse chestnuts, pedunculate oaks, wild olives, Trabzon medlars, false acacias, European hornbeams, spindle trees, green snowballs, Japanese spindle trees, and Japanese velvet pines.
