Secret Passage
Just a few steps from the crazy bustle of Galatasaray Square, more or less across from the British Consulate-General, is this bit of old 19th-century Constantinople.Reached by a restored gateway on Meşrutiyet Caddesi, it’s a quiet refuge of small shops, places to get a glass of tea or Turkish coffee, chat and rest for awhile.
There’s a “secret” entrance from İstiklal Caddesi through some little shops. Entering that way makes the discovery of the quiet courtyard all the more satisfying.
Next door to the Hazzopulo is the equally peaceful Orthodox Church of Panaya Isodyon.
