Star-gazing and homemade food picnic
Enjoy a serene and intimate evening under the beautiful starlit sky of Güzelyurt. Bring a home-cooked meal to share and a blanket to lie on as you gaze at the night sky together.
- Imagine this: You and your partner, hand in hand, trek to a quiet spot in Güzelyurt, where the night sky is clear and the stars are bright. You lay down a blanket and tuck into your prepared picnic basket. As you enjoy your meal under the clear November sky, you revel in the beauty of the stars and your shared connection. You laugh and chat, bonding over shared interests and creating an unforgettable memory.
- In between bites of delicious homemade food, you take turns pointing out constellations and individual stars, with brief breaks for cozy cuddles as you enjoy the awe-inspiring views of the night sky. The night is filled with quiet conversation, whispers of love, and a connection that is heightened by the calming surroundings. This date is something special, something that will make both of you appreciate not only the tranquillity of the surroundings but also each other's company more than ever.
- As the night deepens, so does your connection. With love and the stars as your guides, the evening won't soon be forgotten. The foodie element adds a touch of comfort and familiarity while still feeling exceptional and unlike a usual dinner inside. It's romantic, serene, and something that will only heighten your bond.
Preparation steps:
- First things first, you're going to need a good, sturdy picnic basket. Pack it with homemade dishes that both you and your partner love. Remember, it doesn't need to be fancy - the most important thing is that it's made with love. Include some light snacks as well. If it fits within your budget, a good thermos full of tea or coffee could also be a great addition, as the nights in November can be a bit chilly.
- Research where the best spots for star-gazing in Güzelyurt are. Keep in mind, you want to find a spot where there's minimal light pollution for the best view of the stars. If you are unfamiliar with the stellar constellations, turn this experience into a learning happening by bringing a simple astronomy guide.
- Pack a book about stars or download an app on your phone to help identify constellations. Prepare an insulating and comfortable blanket or sleeping bag for you both, something that will keep you warm and cozy. A flashlight could also come in handy. Before you go, check out the weather forecast to ensure a clear, cloudless night.

Some tips:
- Dress in comfortable, warm clothing. Layers are your friend here, as it can get quite chilly at night, even in Cyprus. Don't forget warm hats and gloves. Also, boots or sturdy shoes are recommended if the terrain is uneven or particularly grassy.
- Make sure to clean up after you. Leave no trace behind. The area should be just as pristine when you leave as when you arrived. Respect your surroundings and the environment.
- In terms of the meal, think about practicality. Ideally, you want foods that can be eaten cold and with your hands to minimize the need for utensils. A variety of finger foods works well. Similarly, pack all your food and beverages in secure containers to avoid any spills or leaks. Lastly, bring drinks in thermos for extra warmth, even something as simple as hot water can do the trick.
