Cicek Pasaji (Flower Passage)
Istiklal Caddesi
Beyoglu, Istanbul, Turkey

The Cicek Pasaji (Flower Passage) at one time was a very fashionable place in Istanbul.  Originally it was the site of the Naum Theatre an important centre for opera in Istanbul and in Europe.  In the 1870s, after a fire, a shopping arcade and luxury apartments were built there.  After the Russian Revolution many Russian immigrants sold flowers here.  Thus the name.  Today it is an arcade full of restaurants and bars.
