#99 Balat - Istanbul
June, 2024
Balat, Istanbul unfolds like a tapestry. Crumbling yet colorful Ottoman houses line narrow streets, their facades adorned with peeling paint and intricate ironwork balconies. Sunlight spills over laundry strung between buildings, casting playful shadows. Quaint cafes spill onto sidewalks, inviting you to linger over a cup of çay and soak in the bohemian charm. It's a place where history is on show in every corner, and beauty is revealed in the unexpected.
