Balat

Kaffamiro Cafe/Restaurant My friends told me to visit this cafe for sure on my trip to Istanbul. Kaffamiro is located in the heart of Balat. Its a very art focused cafe where u can take a break to get energized with a nice coffee and very delicious sweets. The old roman home where rebuilt as a very comfy and warm cafe. The original wooden doors and ceiling, and also windows are still used. I got in love with this place. In the first floor there was a gallery with some interesting paintings. You should definitely visit when u are in Istanbul! The white wooden piano is waiting to be played. I will come back for sure in summer.

Highly recommend to everyone. Amazing instagrammic area in a nice neighborhood with very kind people and many cats around! Must visit is the colorful houses and the incir agaci kahveci for the best photos!!

Cute, quaint little village. Came here after daughter seen it on TikTok. Quite small so only took an hour or so to get around. Highly recommend a little place called Balat Hanimeli cafe (isn’t listed on Trip Advisor). Stopped here for light lunch and it was amazing.

Can go for a half day tour to this colourful area. Have a few nice cafe around , can take some nice photo but don’t expect the colours is outstanding. All the photo you see on google is after filter and become WOW factor. Make sure you wear a very good walking shoe.

Not a good place to visit...No maintenance at all...the colours of the buildings got faded away...There is no good place or location for taking photos except the staircase...
