an area that is older even than the ancient istanbul, central kadıköy bears the ancient nickname ''city of the blind''. yet, in our walk we'll see how arguable this is; as it is truly a lively, hectic and a bright hub of today's istanbul with so many places to see. so besides those highlights above, places that make kadıköy such as; hagia euphemia greek orthodox church, historic houses of yeldeğirmeni, the church of notre dame de rosarie (yeldeğirmeni art center), statue of the bull, surp levon armenian catholic church, streets of the artists and bars, hagia triada greek orthodox church, the church of notre dame de l'assomption, all saints chapel, mansion of sarıca paşa, the sacred fountain of hagia katerina and many more will either be seen or talked about in our tour and of course, we will have some time for lunch at the very center of kadıköy. alongside these, there may be a chance to visit to the art gallery called halka sanat, depending on the time left and availability of exhibitions.
