I went to turkey this past May alone and i got an air bnb in Balat. I never felt like i was in any danger. Everyone was so friendly! Traveling solo is one of the best things ive ever done! Balat is beautiful!

[@mohaumohapi737]

It’s so reassuring to read this, I will be staying in Balat for some time while on vacation.

[@debbieca823]

@@ritagrechi2663 theres actually quite a few air bnbs in balat. It just depends on what you are looking for. The one i got was for two people the most. I can give you the link if you are still interested

[@musevi]

I like this video so much because you show different places of Balat and Fener not only the part which everyone saw. I was many times in Balat and Fener and here I saw something new. Thank you for this amazing video!

Another beautiful video. I hv visited Princess Island last year. Very calm n quiet area. Our tourist guide for Pamokale was from Holland. He told us that he was in Turkey for the last 30 years.

[@tobiasbluhm]

Great info, again Olga! Looking forward to the prince's islands. I'm going there soon :)

[@trendingwwwandw]

The blue mosque another tourist place.i bought some lovely clothing from the market like victory secret which was so cheap. Slight imperfections great price. Subways are so fast and cheap. Want to go back. God bless

[@mohaumohapi737]

Video ve emekleriniz için teşekkürler sizler bu ülke için önemlisiniz

[@DanielOppliger]

We have been to the Balat neighborhood twice. Our dear Turkish friend's niece lives there. They have a restaurant and a hostel. it is near the Chora Church which is our favorite. We were there at night too, We felt safe.

[@lesleysidhoum1779]

Thank you for Balat .I didn't manage to see it when I was in Istanbul.

[@besirdemir6384]

Çok güzel harika bir çekim mükemmel bir video olmuş süpersiniz beğeni izleniyor var olun

[@MrMtv-sw8pl]

I thank you very much for this video, and I wish you success and lasting success. I am from Egypt, and I work in Kuwait in education. I traveled to Al-Fateh neighborhood in Turkey. These are really very beautiful places. I wish you success and success.

[@subaru4me]

This is so funny, I was just in that neighborhood about four days ago. We took the very streets you walked on. When we walked past the auto repair shop and down that street it was a little sketch but was a nice trip.

[@monishabhogal]

We visited last year and didnt enter from the river side like most tourists, we ended up getting off on the complete other end and walking down towards the river. I absolutely LOVE istanbul but that 20min walk was the first time we felt scared, unsafe and out of place. There were no tourists and just all locals who were staring at us. Couldnt get out of there fast enough.

[@ketti4208]

Спасибо Ольга.Очень понравилось видео.И хорошо что и ссылку на ресторан дали.Мы как раз собираемся в Стамбул и ищем что посетить.Очень полезная информация.

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

Хорошего отдыха!

[@unknownsuscriberd6732]

I am here after reading Maala novel about Balat ❤

[@Levo_D_Angelo]

imagine, they would have renovated all buildings in Balat, it would become a tourist hotspot.

[@Somali1971]

It used to be Jewish quarter of Istanbul back in the days .

[@Bo-tz4nw]

Strange video, very nice place here. Instead a couple of tourists talking about being afraid and showing selfies taken in Balat district.

[@adnaneroglu2500]

👏🙂🙋👍

[@TrangNguyen-ek6jv]

How you get to the house has purple flowers? It is at very begin of video. Thank you

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

I don’t have the exact directions unfortunately, it was some time ago. You can see more of it later in the video

[@NEGATIV-dv2cz]

haqiqatdan ham balat mafiyalar joylashgan hududmi?

[@Dandyalessio]

50 years can't be considered an old building. I think you were wrong, most of the buildings look from the 30s to 50s. It's a very normal and nice area in my opinion, I don't see anything strange.

[@williamwade7059]

People put steel bars on their windows for a reason. That being said I enjoy your videos.

[@crystalleiax]

[@carmentrabajo1007]

[@mohamedassouqi1984]

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

[@harrylately1]

It’s only Kadikoy for me

[@peternole5083]

The world is being ruined by Instagrammers all showing up at the same places. Go find your own magical discoveries and keep them to yourselves.

[@jovanaajfon4626]

Hello Olga, I want to visit Balat because the series Cukur was filmed there. How far is it from Istanbul? How did you travel there? Greetings from Serbia❤️❤️

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

Balat is a neighborhood in Istanbul. You can check routes on Google maps to get there, I find them reliable
