ISTAMBUL

After my second visit to Istambul, I was finally able to get to know the city a bit more and finally able to visit those places that are interesting but tourists usually don't visit.

BALAT

Balat is the traditional  Jewish  quarter in the Fatih  district of Istanbul. It is located on the European side of Istanbul, in the old city on the historic peninsula, on the western bank of the Golden Horn.

While most of the people think these are ruined houses. Unesco has a different view; currently Unesco  is running a rehabilitation program to save this old neighborhood.
