You’ll also walk up and down the famed Camondo Steps, an architectural marvel constructed using a quirky combination of Art Noveau and Neo-Baroque artistic styles.

Marvel with the stories and commentary of a fun and knowledgeable English-speaking guide, especially when you drop by the Jewish Museum where you’ll learn about the culture and history of Jewish Turks. Venture into the consecrated grounds of the district’s synagogues such as the Ashkenazi and Schneider synagogues, relax in their calming and holy atmospheres and understand how religion has influenced the lifestyles of the district’s inhabitants.
