Some tips:
- Although public transportation is readily available, you may choose a taxi for a more comfortable journey. Just make sure to agree on the price before starting the trip, because sometimes taxis in Istanbul can overcharge tourists.
- During November, Istanbul can get chilly, especially near the sea, so dressing warmly is advisable. Even though itโs an outdoor date, there are indoor seating options available in both recommended cafes, in case of sudden weather changes.
- Turkish coffee comes in a rather small cup, and it has a thick consistency unlike the regular ones. Try to sip and savour it slowly. It's much stronger than regular coffee, so be careful not to overdo it!
