Balıkesir is really small city in Turkey. So it is lower dangerous than other cities like Istanbul or Izmir. It has limited public transportation especially after 10 pm. So you need to walk or call for a taxi. Be careful not to make an eye contact at night because sometimes men understand this situation like a sex signal.
