Balat is a colorful neighborhood known for its old wooden houses that are over 200 years old. Many visitors fall in love with its vibrant atmosphere, with narrow streets flanked by pastel-colored buildings and friendly locals from a variety of religious backgrounds. A great place to start your visit is at Forno for a delicious Turkish pide or continue up the street to the rainbow stairs of Incir Agaci Kahvesi.
