Stargazing and Storytelling Night
Escape the digital world and connect under the stars in Mersin. Explore constellations and share ancient myths in a magical night-time setting.
- Arrive at your chosen hill just before sunset. Bring a comfortable blanket and find a spot with a clear view of the sky. As the sun sets, watch the beautiful colors change in the sky together.
- Once it's dark, start identifying different constellations. Share stories or create your own mythical characters based on the star formations you see. This can lead to laughter and deepen your connection.
- As the night deepens, listen to the soothing sounds of nature around you. If it's cool, snuggle up together under your blanket, feeling close and connected in the tranquility of the night sky.
Preparation steps:
- Choose a location that's known for clear skies and less light pollution. Tarsus Mountains or Egri Lake are great options. Check the weather to ensure a clear night.
- Pack a nighttime picnic with some snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Remember to bring a cozy blanket or two for comfort and warmth.
- Charge a portable star map app before you leave or bring a physical star chart. Since the date aims to be phone-free, it might be insightful to bring a traditional star chart or plan ahead with some star knowledge.
