Soak in the best vibes in Fatih Istanbul 🇹🇷
You think you have seen it all in Istanbul, after you have been to Blue Mosque, Galata Tower, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern? Time for a lesiurely stroll at the charming neighborhood of Fatih/Balat! 🇹🇷
This neighborhood is not far from the tourist city center of Eminonu, which was where I was staying. It is about 20 mins tram ride from there. The neighborhood features colorful houses and buildings, vibrant colors in many restaurants and a lot of turkish ice cream stores! The neighborhood is more upscale and quiet, but there are quite a number of tourists coming here for the quaint colorful houses! If you are in Istanbul, make sure you don’t miss a trip to Fatih! 🇹🇷🇹🇷😍 #istanbul #mytravelhacks

Wonderful Coloured Houses of Balat in Istanbul are worth a visit. It's a hidden away attraction that will truly take your breath away. Beautiful architecture, close to the promanade and grand bazaar.
