Bosphorus Sunset Stroll
Take a leisurely sunset stroll along the beautiful Bosphorus coast. This date idea is perfect for a low-budget, calm romantic evening. Enjoy breathtaking views and great conversation.
- You and your date start off in the early evening as the sun starts to set. You walk or jog along the Bosphorus coast, taking in the beautiful views and serene atmosphere. This is an opportunity for meaningful conversation and connection as you share your thoughts and feelings.
- You bring along a picnic blanket to spread alongside the coast. You both enjoy a simple dinner of sandwiches, fruit, and maybe some snacks as you watch the sun dip below the horizon. As the stars start to rise, you can wrap up the date with a sweet conversation, sharing memories of the day and making plans for the future.
- Remember that this is a chill date, so the main focus is on unwinding and de-stressing without the need for fancy dinner or costly activities. But make sure to keep your partner warm as the night progresses. Bring an extra layer of clothing or a light blanket.
Preparation steps:
- You should plan your rendezvous about an hour before the actual sunset. This will give you ample time to find the spot where you can sit and watch the mesmerising view. You can either park your car near the coast or take the bus to a spot nearby. Make sure to check the ship timetable also, so you don't miss the view because of the passing ships. Don't forget to take your picnic blanket and food for the evening.
- Depending on how hungry you and your partner gets, you may want to pack a little extra food. If either of you isn't big on cold sandwiches, bring a thermos of hot soup. A sweet treat such as a bar of chocolate or a box of cookies may be appreciated after the sun goes down.
- Finally, make sure to dress warm. Weather can suddenly get colder by the sea during December nights. Pack an extra sweater or light jacket for the sunset part of the date, and maybe even a hat or gloves for later on.

Some tips:
- Keep an eye on the exact time of sunset. You don't want to miss out on this enchanting event. There are applications such as SunsetWX for smartphones that will give you the accurate timing for the sunset.
- If you or your partner is really into photography, don't forget to bring your camera. The sunset over the Bosphorus is one of the most photographed scenes in Istanbul which means you have a great opportunity for an impromptu photography session.
- Respect the surroundings and other people. Pick up any trash, even if it's not yours, and try not to talk too loudly or play music on your phone. The tranquility of the moment will be ruined if the people around can hear your conversation or your music.
