The Colorful Wooden Homes of Ballet
Fener’s name stems from the Greek word Fanari meaning lantern, although in Turkish, it means lighthouse. This is a Greek neighborhood housing wealthy citizens for about 300 hundred years from the 17th to 20th centuries; therefore, holds valuable history and architecture.
The most notable fact about Fener is that it is the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the spiritual centre for the Greek Orthodox religion and known locally as Fener Rum Patrikhanesi. The Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarchy Church also referred to as the Church of Saint George that opened in the 1600s still runs services. You will make a visit here.
The church also sits near to Phanar Greek Orthodox College, a fully functioning school that implements the Turkish curriculum and additional subjects such as the Greek language. This is done in order to respect the Greek roots of the area.
Next, we head into Balat which encompasses the beautiful history of the Jewish people of the city. This indicates how diverse Istanbul is and what the locals continue to preserve as part of their magnificent history.
