About this property
Golden Horn Gem: 3-Bedroom Apartment with Scenic Terrace and Seaside Location
- Immerse yourself in the mystical charm of Balat, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our flat features an expansive terrace with stunning 360-degree views of Istanbul and the sea. From here, you can see iconic landmarks like Hagia Sophia, Galata Tower, and the Blue Mosque, as well as the ancient Byzantium city walls. Located just 30 seconds from the sea, tram line, and ferry station, our villa offers unbeatable convenience. The tram station right outside takes you to major attractions in 5 minutes.
Our 3-bedroom, 1-living room apartment is located on the second floor of a building with only two apartments, situated in Balat on the shores of the Golden Horn, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s just a 30-second walk to both the sea and the tram line, which connects you to major tourist spots in just 5-10 minutes. The Eyüp Sultan Mosque is a 10-minute walk away, and you can enjoy views of the Byzantine city walls right from your window. Additionally, the ferry terminal is equally close, providing a convenient alternative for travel.
The expansive 100-square-meter terrace, located on the third floor and shared with the apartment below, boasts breathtaking views of Istanbul and the sea, offering a truly iconic panorama. It features three large dining tables for up to 20 people, a cozy winter Dome, perfect for enjoying the view and relaxing comfortably in all seasons and a barbecue, making it perfect for entertaining.
The flat itself is 100 square meters and is fully equipped.

The nearby ferry terminal, also within walking distance, offers a scenic route to Kadıköy, Üsküdar, and other charming neighborhoods on the Asian side of Istanbul.
Being located on a main street along the shore, taxis are readily available right in front of the house. If you’re traveling by car, there is secure private parking available for an additional fee.
In this location, you’ll be surrounded by history. Balat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is rich in historical sites from the Byzantine and Ottoman eras, so be prepared to take photos at every corner!
