1. Merdivenli Yokuş Evleri - Kiremit Street
Merdivenli Yokus (the inclination with stairs) is one of the first things that should come to mind when we talk about Balat. It is the symbol of the Balat neighbourhood of Istanbul and is where the most famous pictures of Balat are taken. The houses on the Merdivenli Yokus have been included by UNESCO World Heritage and restored according to the original.

2. Balat Renkli Evler - Coloured Houses of Balat
One of the iconic and most photographed places in Istanbul is the houses on Kiremit street. Pastel-painted houses make a lively street scene. It is such a quiet and relaxing area to stay in, in between the locals, away from the busy city.
Tip: Go early as it’s a popular photographed location.
