Fener

Fener has been an important Greek neighborhood since the 16th century during the Ottoman period. The Fener district, where the Greek Patriarchate (Constantinople Ecumenical Patriarchate) and the Rum Erkek Lisesi (High School) are located, is one of the must-see districts of Istanbul with its narrow streets, small shops, churches, and especially the patriarchate and high school buildings.

Balat

Balat district, which is adjacent to Fener, is an old Jewish district. Just like the Fener, this district is a favorite of all visitors, but especially photography enthusiasts, with its churches, synagogues, small shops, and colorful and narrow streets.

On this tour, you will encounter a completely different face of Istanbul and you will find traces of Greek and Jewish cultures that have lived in these lands for centuries.
