All Saints Moda is a modest Anglican church built in the 19th century, serving the local Christian community in Kadıköy. Its simple stone architecture and the calm, green garden that wraps around it offer a quiet moment in one of Istanbul's most lively districts.
While the church itself isn't always open for casual visits, the garden is accessible and a nice place to sit. It's a reminder of the area's diverse history, tucked between cafes and residential buildings.
The garden gate is usually open; it's a nice spot to read for a bit if the church itself is closed.
Garden is at street level, but entry to the church interior involves a few steps.
