Historical Cafe-Hopping Date in Istanbul
Marvel at Istanbul's grandeur while soaking in its rich history and culture with a historical cafe hopping date. Discover exceptional local cafes tucked away in hidden streets, offering a calm and quiet atmosphere for engaging conversations over warm beverages. Soak up the beautiful views of Istanb…
- As the day begins, you start your date with a visit to the first historical cafe - right after breakfast. The cafe, a small and magical place tucked away in an ancient Istanbul street, offers a peaceful setting. Its ambiance is traditional yet sophisticated with a hint of Turkish culture in every corner.
- As noon approaches, stroll down the cobblestone streets of Istanbul to visit your next destination. Enjoy a warm cup of Turkish tea surrounded by vintage furnishings or get cozy near a rustic fireplace. You share stories, laugh over light conversations and enjoy the wonderful view of old Istanbul. As the sun sets, find yourself in a secluded corner of a boho-style cafe. Watch the twinkling city lights over the Bosphorus Strait and enjoy a delicious Turkish dessert.
- Finally, finish your day under the glow of fairy lights at an outdoor cafe with a breathtaking view of the city's skyline. It's an amazing view that adds a perfect touch of romance to your unforgettable day.
Preparation steps:
- Your preparation will involve some online research as well as physical scouting of cafes prior to the date. Look for cafes with scenic views of Istanbul. You want to find quiet and cozy places where you and your partner can enjoy a sip of coffee while soaking in the view of the city's skyline.
- You will also need to plan your travel route. Istanbul's traffic can be challenging, especially during peak hours. It's best to take public transport or walk whenever possible. Remember to organize your trip in such a way that the last cafe is close to your home or hotel, so that getting back is not an issue.
- Lastly, be sure to check the opening hours of the cafes. Some cafes in Istanbul may close early during the final months of the year. Hence, take note of their operating hours to avoid disappointments.
