Pera

/ ˈpɪərə /

noun

We stayed at the Pera Palace Hotel, and the first night after dinner, in our innocence, strolled out.

The Greeks were more numerous; Pera sent over a fair share of foreigners, all dressed in the newest Paris fashions.

The proprietors were nearly all Smyrniotes or Greeks from Pera, not bearing the highest character in the world.

The villages by the water-side are so close together, that Pera may be said to extend from Tophan to the forts beyond Bujukder.

There are maid-servants and men-servants, and more boxes than any house in Pera will hold.
