This Orthodox church, located in Istanbul, is within walking distance from the tram stop. This is a unique place. It is monumental in Byzantine style and darkly solemn. Inside there are chairs for the parishioners. Admission is free, candles are also available. A believer is invited to independently assess his religious feelings and make a donation according to the internal course of conscience. There is no coercion and price lists, which is great. Among the relics there is a stone of the flagellation of Christ, the relics of saints and a unique Byzantine icon with a mosaic size of a fraction of a millimeter. In fact, this is pixel art, executed in the deep Middle Ages. We should also mention the local priest. He is a very colorful cleric with a sprawling beard and a kind face. He treats the Russian-speaking and Orthodox very well, even if he does not fully know our language. Visiting this temple greatly broadens your horizons and allows you to look at the religious tradition from a new angle.

Briefly!Prices are space, they are allowed only on the second floor (prayer is held in the main hall of the first floor at this time), a large number of saints' faces are covered with canvases.My opinion:Save your money, what you see outside is enough!
