Sunset Bosphorus Cruise and Rooftop Dining
Experience the magic of Istanbul with a Bosphorus cruise at sunset followed by a romantic rooftop dinner overlooking the city lights.
- The evening begins with you both boarding a traditional Turkish boat, known as a 'Yacht', adorned with comfortable seating and ambient lighting. As the yacht begins its journey along the Bosphorus, you are treated to the stunning views of Istanbul's skyline and famous landmarks like the Dolmabahรงe Palace and the Maiden's Tower, transitioning beautifully under the colors of the sunset.
- After the cruise, you head to a carefully selected rooftop restaurant. On arrival, you're welcomed with a glass of fine Turkish wine. The restaurant offers a panoramic view of Istanbul, glowing under the night sky. The soft symphony of the city's sounds and the gentle evening breeze create an enchanting atmosphere for your special night.
- You enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal featuring local delicacies and international favorites. Each dish is complemented by a selection from an extensive wine list, enhancing the flavors and the overall dining experience. You spend the evening engaged in deep conversations, laughing, and making future plans, all while surrounded by the breathtaking vistas of Istanbul.
Preparation steps:
- Book your Bosphorus cruise in advance, aiming for a start time that allows you to experience the sunset. Opt for a package that includes drinks for an especially festive vibe.
- Choose a rooftop restaurant with a reputation for excellent food and stunning views. Reserve a table well in advance, requesting one with the best cityscape panoramas. Ensure the restaurant offers a cuisine that both of you will enjoy.
- Plan your attire for the evening. Opt for elegant, comfortable clothing that will suit both the yacht experience and a classy dinner. Don't forget to consider the breeze along the river - bringing a light jacket or a pashmina would be wise.
