Lifestyle

Colorful Istanbul: Fener & Balat

Fener and Balat are Istanbul at its most photogenic — and most lived-in. We walk the steep lanes of the old Greek Orthodox patriarchate, then into Balat's Jewish quarter with its iron-grilled bay windows and tiny synagogues. We stop in at vintage shops, antique stores, a 200-year-old bakery, and the cafés that have quietly turned this neighborhood into one of the city's most charming corners — without ever losing its soul.
