Review & FAQ:
Though this passageway is no longer dominated by flower shops as it was in the early 20th century, it is still called Çiçek Pasaji, or the Flower Passage . The Istiklal Avenue site was originally home to a theater and opera house, but the original building was damaged by fire in 1870 and later replaced by the current building, Cité de Péra, which houses the L-shaped passageway. The building was restored in 1988 after part of the building collapsed. The covered arcade, with its European-style architecture, is now a foodie hotspot with rows of restaurants, wine bars, and cafés.
