Some tips:
- Stick to busier areas in the early morning hours for safety. When photographing, be respectful of locals and ask permission when needed. Remember, the goal of this date is exploration, not eating, so try to divert attention away from food stalls and towards other interesting sights.
- Sunrise in November is around 08:00, so plan your route and timings accordingly. In Konak Square, catch the tram for a short rest while making your way towards Kordon Promenade.
- Finally, even though this date doesn't involve trying new food, take the time to sit down and enjoy a meal at one of your regular, favorite places. This way, you cater to your partner's preference while still making a special memory.
