The next day I took my students from the university on a walk, and I took them through Fener. None of the 16 students had ever been to this area just north of the university.
I took them as well to the Greek Church; I told them it was the only place in Istanbul I knew to be silent. They loved the church, the scent of the candles, and the darkness.
Quiet fun to take an Istanbuler to some place they do not know.
