Century-old Ottoman houses lean against each other in a kaleidoscope of reds, blues and greens. And art galleries and design shops dot the area along the water.
Like the
rest of Istanbul, Fener-Balat is changing.
Unlike much of the rest of the city,
though, the changes don’t – yet – involve condominiums and shopping malls.
Nor
have rents skyrocketed as much as in other areas that have retained an Ottoman
flavour.
