Romantic Canal Side Stroll
Enjoy a truly romantic date with a picturesque, free, and weather-immune walk along the beautiful canals of Istanbul. Let the city become your personal romantic backdrop as you take in the beautiful sights, chat, and enjoy the hustle and bustle together.
- Start your date with a warm coffee from a local cafe and then begin your leisurely canal side walk. Enjoy the sights, chat, and maybe hold hands as you stroll, letting the romantic atmosphere of the city work its magic.
- Afterwards, sit by the side of the canal and have a deep conversation. Let your thoughts flow and savor the moments. You can even write each other's names on pebbles and maybe rest them by the canal side.
- Once you've had your peaceful moment, continue your walk and perhaps end the date with a pleasant dinner at a cosy restaurant by the canal. This simple date will leave you with fond memories of a truly romantic day.
Preparation steps:
- Keep an eye on the weather since this date is mainly outdoors and you wouldnโt want to get caught in the rain. Dress warmly, albeit romantically, and be prepared for a cold December walk.
- Although you will begin your date at a local cafe, it's a good idea to have an icebreaker to start your conversation. A fun question or a story will set the tone for the rest of your walk.
- As the walk involves a sit by the canal, consider bringing a small snack or drink, although some cities have laws against eating by the canal so check this before finalizing your plan.
