Colorful Houses in Balat

$50

I came to Balat to draw the colorful houses (that’s what they are named on google maps). Back then they only started becoming popular. Nowadays in 2026 they are one of the must see and must-take-a-selfie in the European part of Istanbul. I even have the pleasure of being acquainted with Peter-the-Sultan: the first foreigner who bought one of the houses in Balat and came up with the idea of painting the houses.
