Getting There & Away
» Ferry The most enjoyable way to access these suburbs is aboard the Golden Horn ferry
from Eminönü, which stops at Ayvansaray near Edirnekapı.
» Bus Regular services travel from Eminönü along Mürsel Paşa Caddesi (at various points
also called Abdülezel Paşa Caddesi and Sadrazam Ali Paşa Caddesi), which follows the
shore of the Golden Horn through Balat, Fener and Avansaray and on to Eyüp. From
Eminönü there are also regular services to Fatih and Edirenkapı along Fevzi Paşa Caddesi
(the continuation of Macar Kardeşler and Şehzadebaşı Caddesis). We have provided in-
formation about relevant bus routes in our reviews.
Lonely Planet's Top Tip
If you plan to visit Fatih, try to do so on Wednesdays, when the Çarşamba Pazarı (Wednesday Mar-
ket) is held in the streets around the Fatih Mosque.
