Botanic Garden Picnic & Football Fun
Combine love for food, football, and flora with a picnic at Ankara's botanical garden followed by a playful football match.
- Start your date at the lush expanse of Atatรผrk Forest Farm and Zoo, known for its vibrant botanical garden. Settle down at a quiet spot amid colorful blooms, where birds chirp harmoniously in the background.
- Unpack a gourmet picnic composed of local cheeses, fresh breads, and a variety of mezze, encouraging a taste test of Ankara's finest delicacies. Complement your meal with a refreshing local wine or a non-alcoholic pomegranate-based drink.
- After lunch, switch to some fun with a mini-football match. Use a soft ball to keep things light and playful, allowing you both to share laughs and affectionate teasing as you kick the ball around the gardens.
Preparation steps:
- Prior to your picnic date, visit a local market to pick up assorted cheeses, breads, olives, and many more for your gourmet picnic basket.
- Pack a cozy blanket, some cushions for comfortable seating, and remember to bring a small, soft football or any similar object suitable for playing in the garden.
- Check the weather forecast to ensure a sunny day and decide the route to the botanical garden, along with finding a perfect spot that offers both beauty and privacy.
