Starlit Bosporus Stroll
Experience the enchanting glow of sunset over Istanbul as you and your loved one stroll by the glistening Bosporus.
- Begin your evening around 7 pm, just before sunset. Meet your partner at the Galata Bridge, where you can soak in the bustling atmosphere and vibrant street musicians enhancing the romantic mood.
- As the sun begins its descent, walk hand in hand towards the picturesque Ortaköy. The changing colors of the sky and the historic architecture provide a perfect backdrop for heartfelt conversations and shared laughter.
- Conclude your stroll in Ortaköy, where you can relax by the waterfront, enjoying the view of the Ortaköy Mosque against the night sky. Sit on a bench, maybe sharing an ice cream, while watching boats gently pass on the Bosporus.
Preparation steps:
- Check the weather before you leave to make sure the pleasant conditions hold. Wear comfortable shoes as there will be a lot of walking involved.
- Consider bringing a light jacket or a scarf as it can get breezy by the water in the evening.
- Since the idea revolves around experiencing the beauty of Istanbul’s shorelines, ensure your phone or camera is ready to capture some of the stunning scenery and the moments you both share.
