The Hidden Charm of Turkey: Istanbul's Balat District

The Balat district in Istanbul, where old houses are painted in vibrant colors ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Walking through the narrow alleys felt like stepping into a fairytale village!! Photos taken in front of the colorful buildings turned out to be works of art themselves 🎨 Before heading to Balat, I started my journey with a special local meal that can only be experienced there. Antep Restaurant, recommended by Baek Jong-won, is a must-visit spot among Koreans and is famous as the go-to place for Beyran in Istanbul 😘 The hot and rich Beyran soup, Turkey's traditional drink Ayran, and eggplant kebab created a perfect harmony 🇹🇷🥣🥛 Istanbul Port ❤️ 👇🏻👇🏻 If you're planning a trip to Istanbul, I highly recommend setting aside time to stroll through the Balat district 🌸
