About this activity
Discover Fener and Balat in Istanbul with a small group walking tour. Enjoy the privileges of a private professional tour guide o See neighborhoods with character and enjoy a ferry ride along the Golden Horn.

Start your tour with a ferry ride along the Golden Horn from Karakoy to Ayvansaray. See the skyline of Istanbul on this famous waterway onboard a local ferry.

Listen to your guide as they go over the history of Constantinople, the conquest by the Ottomans and the Jewish culture after 1492.

Visit the extraordinary church of Mary Blachernae, Ahrida Synagogue and walk the streets and markets of Balat through the splashes of color and the vibrancy of its street life, crisscross of washing lines on the crumbling buildings, and the labyrinth of cobblestone streets teeming with kids playing football and women in headscarves beating rugs.

End your tour in Fener after seeing the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate housing a column, which is believed to have been used for the binding and flogging of Jesus in Jerusalem.

Greek Orthodox Patriarchal Church is an essential part of this tour because it’s the most sacred site for all of the 300million Orthodox people in the world.
