I love discovering old neighbourhoods that are undergoing a renewal. This is the case in Balat a neighbourhood in #Istanbul now popular with artists. . . . . . . . . . . . . When the artists move in, paint the old walls, hang colourful umbrellas, the cafés and restaurants then follow. This then transforms the neighbourhood into a trendy, artistic paradise amongst beautiful historic buildings which are then refurbished. . . . . . . . . . For good eats, great coffee and great galleries I recommend you add this neighbourhood to your Istanbul itinerary. For more suggestions see the latest post on the site. #Turkey
