In Balat and Fener, former Greek and Jewish districts, we’ll explore the buildings that have outlasted the communities once living within them.

Walking through side streets greeted by clotheslines, we'll reminisce about the lost neighborhood culture and ponder the meaning of events that once unfolded here. Today, Fener and Balat are vibrant with colorful cafés, antique shops, and a diverse mix of people, offering us a unique glimpse into this evolving neighborhood.
