In ancient times, the hillside where Gálata is today was covered with orchards and was known as Sykai, the fig field, or Peran en Sykais, the fig field on the other side (of the Golden Horn). It was in during the Byzantine period that the area began to be called Galata and a fortress was built by Emperor Theodosius II. Galata was a Genoese colony from the sixth to 15th centuries. This walk is around the emblematic Galata Tower and covers the area, where you will see many churches, synagogues, hospitals, bank buildings, ancient walls, schools. The stories, myths and legends are a bonus from your guide.
