Turkey Balat Tours

Balat is a very popular quarter located between the Ayvansaray and Fener districts and on the shores of the Golden Horn in the Fatih County of Istanbul. The name Balat’s original version is "Palace," which in Greek means palace. Balat takes place once a year around the Blachernae Palace, so its name is most likely derived from this palace.
