A walk through Galata, a ferry up the Golden Horn and down to Fener/Balat...




Friday, May 22nd

Meeting place: Galata tower

Starting at the sq. under the tower, we will visit the Rustem Pasa Caravansaray built by Mimar Sinan, and we will move on down the back streets on to the Russian orthadox church hidden away in an apt. building in Karakoy . We will then catch the ferry that zig zags up the Golden Horn and wandering through characteristic streets in the process of great transformation, we will visit the Byzantine church of Mary of the Mongols and the Greek Patriarch. On the way we will stop for lunch in a local restaurant.

Please bring your cameras and wear comfy shoes.
