If you're surrounded by pretty houses, many religious buildings and lots of steep hills, you've likely found yourself in Istanbul's districts of Fener and Balat which it only 10 minuts by publick transport form you apartmnet (by Bus)
it is two different neighborhoods with very different histories, the names "Fener" and "Balat" have now become almost interchangeable. The name Fener comes from the Greek name "Fanarion," meaning lighthouse, suggesting that there was a lighthouse nearby. This was because Fanarion, and later Fener, was a trade hub that received a lot of sea traffic due to its position on the coast of the Golden Horn
