Istanbul is one of the most popular destinations of the world. Each year thousands of tourists visit this city and enjoy its fascinating views, historical places and delicious foods. As a city which inherits the history and culture of the Ottoman Empire as well as Byzantium, Istanbul is a very multicultural city. You may find so many multicultural neighbourhoods in Istanbul, and Balat is also one of them. Balat is a cosy and elegant destination which lays along the Golden Horn. You can walk along the streets of Balat, take photographs of the colorful apartments and get recreated in the stylish coffeeshops. If you plan to visit Istanbul someday, I recommend you don’t miss Balat.
Here you can find some photos I shot in Balat, Istanbul.
