An hidden gem in Istanbul: Balat

<p>One of Istanbul&rsquo;s most stunning and historic neighbourhoods is Balat. There&rsquo;s nothing like the atmosphere you experience walking around Istanbul&rsquo;s historic buildings and winding cobblestone streets &mdash; it&rsquo;s like being in a different part of the world.<br /> The district, which is situated beyond Emin&ouml;n&uuml;&rsquo;s shores along the Golden Horn, is actually tucked away a little. It&rsquo;s conveniently located and a short stroll from the Golden Horn metro stop, known in Turkish as Hali&ccedil;. Families can be seen strolling along the promenade all the way up to Pierre Loti at the end of the Golden Horn, and the entire coastal road along it is incredibly pleasant. The road runs alongside several large parks.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@ppregazzi/an-hidden-gem-in-istanbul-balat-8559340824e2"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
