Flower Passage & Fish Bazaar (Sahne Street)
The Flower Passage dates back to 1870s Tanzimat Reform Era. A theater building took place at that time where the passage is located in now. The building was burned with the big Beyoglu fire in 1870, and then today’s passage was built by the Rum banker Hristaki Zografos Efendi. Since the passage turned into a place in time where the florists met and made auctions at that time, the place was named “Flower Passage”. The taverns and beerhouses opened after 1940s are still giving service today.
