Let's have an incredible journey around Istanbul's colorful streets! We will walk along the Golden Horn from the Galata Tower, through the backstreets of Galata and Karaköy, the Kamondo Stairs, one of the most spectacular staircases in Old Istanbul, and the SALT GALATA building, one of the oldest banks, to Balat and Fener, two colorful neighborhoods on the Golden Horn's old residential side.
We will visit the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (St. George), which is still regarded the center of faith for Orthodox Christians, as well as explore the colorful staircases, bright wooden Ottoman mansions, the Iron Church (Sveti Stefan), and Balat's medieval lanes.
