Balat is a cute neighborhood where people belonging to 3 major religions live together and contain many historical buildings. With its cute colorful houses, shabby cafes, and antique shops, every corner of Balat is worth photographing. If you want to enjoy Balat with an experienced Local Guide and have an unforgettable day, the Fener, Balat, and Eyup Area Tour with a Private Local Guide promises you a pleasant day. Here is our schedule for this breathtaking tour:
The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate Istanbul
The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate Istanbul has been the spiritual center of the Greek Orthodox world since around 1600. Officially the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, it is known locally as the Fener Rum Patrikhanesi (Fener Greek Patriarch), it could be considered the Vatican of the Eastern Orthodox church. The church of St. George (the Great Martyr and Trophy-Bearer) is the fifth church in Constantinople to house the Ecumenical Patriarchate since the 15th century.
Phanar Greek Orthodox College
This magnificent building was built in 1880 as a Greek school. Now, it is one of the symbols of the Golden Horn. Since it is not easy to reach here, we will take a break at one of the cute cafes in Fener. We'll rest for a while and enjoy the atmosphere of the area.
Bulgarian St Stephen Church
The Turks call this church Iron Church because it is made entirely of Iron. You may wonder why the church is made of Iron and your guide will give you these details during your tour because there is a story and of course urban legend. We will stop at a cozy restaurant for lunch and you will taste one of our tastiest dishes ‘’Lahmacun & Pide’’.
Pierre Loti Hill
Pierre Loti is located in Eyüp Neighborhood. This is the best place to see the Golden Horn and drink Turkish tea. We will go up by cable car.
Eyup Sultan Mosque & Tomb
Eyüp Sultan Mosque is one of the holiest and most important mosques in all of Turkey. It is so revered because it is located on the site of the tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, who was both a friend and standard-bearer for the Prophet Muhammed and was killed during the first Arab siege of Constantinople.
