Daracık sokaklardan geçerken her köşede başka bir hikâyeye rastlamak mümkün. Eski Rum evleri, yıllara meydan okuyan kiliseler ve duvarları süsleyen rengârenk grafitiler… Fener ve Balat, İstanbul’un en karakteristik semtlerinden biri. Rehberimiz sayesinde geçmişin izlerini takip ederek mahallede dolaşırken, bölgenin kültürel zenginliği gözler önüne serildi. Küçük kafelerde mola verip, nostaljik havasını içimize çektik.

Fener-Balat turu, İstanbul’un geçmişine açılan bir kapı gibi. Renkli evler, taş sokaklar, küçük esnaf dükkânları… Kendinizi bir film sahnesinde gibi hissediyorsunuz.

Fener’de Rum Ortodoks Patrikhanesi’nin ihtişamını görmek, Balat’ta tarihi sinagogların sessiz hikâyelerini dinlemek gerçekten etkileyiciydi. Ara sokaklarda gezerken farklı kültürlerin nasıl iç içe geçtiğine tanıklık etmek, İstanbul’un büyüsünü daha derinden hissettirdi.
