Fatih at a glance

Fatih covers the whole of the walled historic peninsula and is the oldest settled part of Istanbul. The Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Eminönü ferry piers and the colourful houses of Fener and Balat on the Golden Horn all lie within the district. Sultanahmet is also part of Fatih, but the district reaches far beyond the main sightseeing area, with markets, historic madrasas and lively residential neighbourhoods.

Many neighbourhood and street names in Fatih are similar, so adding the neighbourhood (mahalle) name to your hotel or address in the booking helps your driver find the right place. Around the bazaars, streets can be crowded with pedestrians and delivery vehicles during the day; where the door cannot be reached, your driver drops you at the closest accessible point.
