If you have more than one day in Istanbul, a Fener Balat tour is one of the ideal ways to see the Jewish and Christian history in the city's lovely districts. You'll visit churches and synagogues (mainly as an outer visit), as well as local neighborhoods.
Fener and Balat districts are off the main tourist route; their authenticity makes this organized tour worthwhile. This tour gives travelers a reason to be out of Sultanahmet area and discover more of Istanbul.
