Fener & Balat - Private Tour

If you are looking for an experience in one of the oldest neighborhoods of Istanbul then this tour fits perfect to you. During the day we will strool in the old streets of Istanbul which remained almost the same over the last century and resisted to popular culture. People of the neighborhood are conservative but their hearts welcome every one. How do I know it, because I grew up there. Fatih Mosque which was built by the Sultan Mehmet II who conquered Constantinople, Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque where there is one of the undiscovered nicest view of the city from its courtyard, The Curch of our Lady of Mongols, Greek High School with its marvelous architecture, Sveti Stevan (Bulgarian) curch and finally the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate will be the highlights of this walk.

This itinerary is the classic of Istanbul and is highly suggested. Please let me know if you have another itinerary in your mind so that I can customize the tour for you. As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be changed due to the needs of the guests. - Fatih Mosque - built in 15th century - Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque - built in 16th century - Ismail Aga Mosque - center of an Islamic sect - Hirami Ahmet Mosque - first built as a Byzantine church - Fethiye Mosque - was built as Teotokos Pamakaristos Monastery - The Church of our Lady of Mongols - unique Byzantine church in city (from outside) - Greek High School - from outside - Sveti Stevan Church - unique church in the world built out of iron - Greek Orthodox Patriarchate - Old style buildings, narrow streets, traditonal food shops, a lot of local people Spice Bazaar
