Aleksandr Blinov

Great place for a walk in the city center and near the river. Many different restaurants, shops, coffee shops. You can also take an inexpensive boat ride around this place. A very pleasant place for a walk with family or friends. And this is a historical place with interesting focus points. I highly recommend this place for a walk at least once in your life!

Interesting part of the story. This church was founded by Apostle Andrew. If you're in this part of Istanbul, it's worth a visit. This Church of St. George the Victorious is the main patriarchal church of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople. The Church in Constantinople was founded by the holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called. After Constantinople became the capital of the Roman Empire in 330, its ecclesiastical position increased to the status it still has today.
