On a Sunday, if you attend one of the cultural tours Fest Travel organizes, you would be able to have the chance to lose yourself in this old Istanbul neighborhood’s rich history.
Our well known writer Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil, is known as the name father of Yeşilköy which was known as the Ayastefanos in the old times. Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil was born in Istanbul on 1866 but his childhood and early youth were spent in Izmir. His family had returned to Istanbul, and lived in Buyukada and afterwards with the requests of a family friend who was also the owner of the Serveti Funun magazine Ahmet Ihsan Tokgoz, they have moved to Yeşilköy and remained in this neighborhood until the end of his days and tied to this nice waterfront community with all of his heart. This commitment reflected itself frequently in his novel “Forty Years”.
As a student at Robert College in the 60s, Faruk Pekin RC Eng 69, liked nothing better than to spend his weekends roaming the ruins of Old Istanbul with now-legendary, erudite professors like Hillary Sumner-Boyd, Godfrey Goodwin and John Freely. “That’s how my interest in architecture and art history began,” he says. “Istanbul is my first love. We spent most weekends exploring a different part of the city.”
Detail...FEST Travel, an organization which has been putting together daily cultural strolls in İstanbul for interested Turkish residents of İstanbul for almost 20 years, has now decided to make these tours available to foreign “culture vultures” residing in İstanbul.
Out of its 90 itineraries, FEST Travel has chosen the most popular four walking tours to market to foreigners.

Inns and bazaars are perhaps the buildings that resist changing most in Istanbul. While this city is transforming in a fast pace, these structures remain the same. They also keep the door of the world of surprises open to both Istanbulites and foreigners all the time.
Istanbul is as much the city of action and abundance as it is the city of history and culture. At every step you take, you li Detail...
