Romantic Escape to Princes' Islands
Embark on a serene day trip to the Princes' Islands in Istanbul, enjoying a picnic and scenic bike rides.
- The date begins with a ferry ride from Istanbul to the Princes' Islands, enjoying the beautiful sea views and a cool breeze. The couple can take this moment to relax and watch the city's skyline fade into the distance.
- Upon arriving, they rent bicycles, the most popular way to explore the islands due to their no-car policy. Cycling together under the canopy of trees, they explore the charming architecture and beautiful landscapes of the islands.

Preparation steps:
- Check the ferry schedules in advance and plan to depart early to make the most of the day. Pack a picnic basket with easy-to-carry items like sandwiches, fruits, and plenty of water.
- Dress comfortably for biking and walking. Wear sneakers, light clothing, and don't forget sun protection like sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses as June can be quite sunny.
- Bring a camera or make sure your phone is charged to capture the beautiful views and memories you'll make together.
