Full description

This half-day walking tour covers Fener and Balat, neighbourhoods of colourful timber houses, old schools and churches built by Greek, Jewish, Armenian and Bulgarian communities. The route passes Cantemir's former home and includes visits to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate and the Bulgarian Iron Church, with commentary on each community's history.

Stops for photographs or coffee are possible along the way. The streets are hilly and some are steep, so comfortable shoes matter.

Reviewers praise guides who bring the neighbourhoods to life and show corners visitors might miss alone.
