Istanbul Golden Horn Heritage Walk: From Eyüp to Balat
Istanbul, Marmara, Turchia
From the hilltop café of Pierre Loti to the shaded tombs of Eyüp, this walking journey descends through centuries of Istanbul’s soul. You’ll wander through Ottoman cemeteries, trace the Byzantine city walls, explore hidden churches and mosques, and drift into the colorful alleys of Fener and Balat — ending with views over the Golden Horn.
Expect steep paths and narrow lanes, but also quiet corners and panorama breaks. Wear sturdy shoes, go early to beat crowds on the cable car, and pause often — this is as much a contemplative walk as a heritage tour.
