THE EUROPEAN "NEW TOWN" ACROSS THE GOLDEN HORN
Opened in
1876, Çiçek Pasajı is a covered arcade with rows of historic cafes, winehouses
and restaurants.
Following the
Russian Revolution of 1917, many impoverished noble Russian women, including a
Baroness, sold flowers in the arcade, giving the arcade it’s modern Turkish
name of Çiçek Pasajı (Flower Passage).
After the
restoration of the building in 1988, it was reopened as a galleria of pubs and
restaurants.
