About Chora Church
Tucked into the old land walls, the Chora (Kariye) is small in scale but overwhelming in artistry — every square meter of ceiling is covered in 14th-century mosaics and frescoes narrating the life of Christ.
Insider tips
- Combine with a walk of the nearby Theodosian land walls.
- The frescoes in the parekklesion (side chapel) are the highlight.
- Bring a small torch — some scenes are dimly lit.
