Fener, Historical neighborhood in Fatih, Turkey
The neighborhood extends along the slopes of the Golden Horn with traditional wooden houses and narrow winding streets creating a network of passages.
During the Ottoman Empire, Fener housed numerous Greek families who established influential positions in commerce, diplomacy, and administration throughout the region.
The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate remains in Fener, operating from Saint George's Cathedral as the center of Orthodox Christian religious leadership.
Multiple bus lines connect Fener to central Istanbul, with stations near the main landmarks providing regular service from early morning until late evening.
The red brick Fener Greek Orthodox College building stands on the highest point of the district, visible from many parts of the Golden Horn.
