Overview
Galata, crowned by its majestic tower, is one of the most visited neighborhoods of Istanbul. Full of cafes, terraces and unforgettable stores, it leads us, on the one hand, to the beginning of the famous Istiklal Street, whose route will take us to Taksim Square; On the other hand, it will take us back to times when the Silk Road traders sought places like the Karavansay to pause on their long journey.
Once again, we will travel through a historically diverse and tolerant neighborhood where Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together in harmony, and where current residents and occasional visitors enjoy its varied leisure and gastronomic offer. I invite you to get to know the Genoese quarter of Istanbul!
