Romantic Princes' Islands Escape
Escape the city buzz for a serene date at the Princes' Islands, with bicycle rides and calm beaches. Perfect for reconnecting with nature.
- The date begins with a ferry ride from İstanbul to the Princes' Islands, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and spectacular views of the Marmara Sea. Both enjoy the peaceful boat ride, standing close to each other, observing seagulls flying overhead.
- Upon arriving at the island, you rent bicycles, a great way for both of you to explore the charming scenery together. Quietly, you ride through the tree-lined streets, admiring the old wooden houses and stopping at panoramic spots for memorable photos.
- For a relaxing end to the adventurous day, find a quiet beach to unwind. Lay down a picnic blanket, shared snacks, and just watch the sunset. Holding hands, listen to the gentle waves and feel the warmth of the disappearing sun.
Preparation steps:
- Before the trip, make sure to check the ferry schedules to the Princes' Islands and plan your departure early enough to make the most of the day. Pack comfortable clothing suitable for biking and beach lounging.
- Prepare a backpack with essentials: water, snacks, a camera, sunscreen, and perhaps a light book or playing cards. Don't forget your hats and sunglasses for protection against the sun.
- Bring a cozy picnic blanket and a portable speaker for some background music during your beach relaxation time. Choose some light and refreshing snacks and drinks to enjoy as the sun sets.
