You will see the district and hear the history from your guide. Fener is derived from a Greek word 'Fanari' meaning 'lantern' or 'lighthouse' in Turkish. It was a district of prominent and predominantly Romaic (Greek Orthodox) families up to the beginning of the 20th century. It is the part of Istanbul  where the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is situated.

We then visit and learn the history of the Greek Orthodox school and wander the neighbourhood which are being protected by a UNESCO project successfully implemented over the last decade.
