Delve into the past as you browse unique and valuable books, discuss literature and history, and end with a romantic coffee in a traditional cafรฉ.
- Imagine spending a winter morning in Kastamonu, the scent of old manuscripts and the sound of flipping pages around you. When you and your partner meet, you start off at the oldest bookstore, shelves filled with a treasure trove of antiquarian books, unique prints, and vintage maps. The two of you take turns carefully selecting and presenting books to each other based on the content and the history behind the book. During the conversation, you share your insights, stories, and reactions.
- After spending a delightful time at the bookstore, you head towards the cozy traditional cafรฉ next door where the walls are decorated with antique paintings and old clocks. You continue your discussions on the books you browsed, their plots, take turns reading passages and share what you love about them. This quiet, intimate date allows you both to connect intellectually and understand each other's interests more deeply.
