Uden for Istanbuls slagne vej: Privat guidet tur i Fener & Balat-distriktet
Beskrivelse
Hvis du er den slags turist, der kan lide at komme væk fra den slagne vej og væk fra folkemængderne, så kan du ikke gøre meget bedre end at bruge en dag på at fare vild i de fascinerende gader i de historisk kosmopolitiske Fener og Balat-kvarterer. Disse to historiske kvarterer, der ligger langs Det Gyldne Horn, har huset de græske og jødiske samfund i Konstantinopel i århundreder. Disse gamle kvarterer lover en malerisk oplevelse med deres retrocaféer og historiske bygninger. De er væk fra den store turiststi, og deres ægthed gør denne guidede tur umagen værd.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Turen starter fra Cibali Tobaksfabrikken, symbolet på kvarteret, som fortæller meget om transformationsprocessen i området.
Gül-moskeen bliver vores andet stop med dens mystiske historie, som vil fortælle os, hvordan byzantinske og osmanniske kulturer blev integreret.
Derefter skal vi mod Fener, som tilbyder en fantastisk oplevelse for sine besøgende med sin autentiske atmosfære, herunder mange interessante kirker. Den græsk-ortodokse patriarkalske kirke er en væsentlig del af denne tur, fordi det er det mest hellige sted for alle de 300 millioner ortodokse mennesker i hele verden.
Church of St. Mary of the Mongols er den eneste byzantinske kirke i Konstantinopel, der ikke blev omdannet til en moské. Siden Konstantinopels fald var Saint Mary of the Mongols altid åben for det græsk-ortodokse folk og har stået højt siden det stod færdigt i 1281.
Fener Greek High School for Boys vil byde os velkommen i al sin pragt. Det er den ældste overlevende og mest prestigefyldte græsk-ortodokse skole i Istanbul, Tyrkiet. Så tager vi de smalle gader og skråninger med farverige caféer, restauranter og antikvitetsbutikker i nabolaget.
Resten af turen vil være i Balat, hvor de mindre velhavende grækere og jøder i Istanbul boede i og hjemsted for et forbløffende antal kirker, moskeer og synagoger. Gå gennem farvestænkene og dets liv i gadelivet, på kryds og tværs af vaskelinjer på de smuldrende bygninger, synagogerne, kirkerne og labyrinten af brostensbelagte gader.
Ahrida Synagogue er en af de ældste i hele Istanbul. Det engang blomstrende jødiske kvarter Balat blev betjent af den store Ahrida-synagoge, og det blev en af de vigtigste bygninger i hele kvarteret. Adskillige renoveringer gennem århundreder har holdt det tro mod dets oprindelige arkitektoniske design.
Sveti Stefan Bulgarian Church, den eneste kirke i hele verden, som er lavet fuldstændig af stål.

Friendly, knowledgable guide. Excellent discussions on Turkish history and society. St. Georges's and St. Steven's churches are beautiful. Rest of the neighbourhood is beautiful and interesting without any particular "wow" factors. The views over the sea are beautiful. Be aware that some of the streets are very steep and could be slippery in the rain.
1 THE GUIDE WAS NOT INTRODUCED. Claiming for washap his fault, he indicated that he was sorry but that he was on vacation, he did not remember our visit. We had many expectations with this visit but we had to do it on our own without a guide. I mean, we can't say what the neighborhoods represent because there was no explanation.
Dear Yomigar, We sincerely apologize for the unfortunate experience you had. After thoroughly investigating the matter, we found that your booking was made just two hours before the scheduled start time of the tour on New Year's Eve, which fell outside our system’s cut-off period for same-day reservations. Due to a system-related error, the reservation was not properly reflected on our end and therefore, was not received by our operations team in time. As a result, the assigned guide was understandably unavailable. We deeply regret the confusion this caused and fully understand your disappointment. A full refund has already been processed, and the cut-off time settings have been updated to ensure this does not happen again in the future. Warm regards,
No one turned up or contacted us . We crossed the city by tram to be there for 1015 and waited until 1045 in the rain and nothing . Tried calling but no response. Appalling
