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 Ortakรถy. The changing colors of the sky and the historic architecture provide a perfect backdrop for heartfelt conversations and shared laughter.

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.
