Balat is a down-to-earth area with winding cobblestone lanes and vibrant homes, where fashionable cafés and cutting-edge galleries coexist with traditional local grocers. The Greek Ecumenical Patriarchate basilica, synagogues, and Byzantine churches all bear witness to the area's multicultural history as a hub for Jewish, Greek, and Armenian populations. Golden mosaics and vivid frescoes adorn the Chora Museum.
