Sunset Coastal Walk in İzmit
Enjoy a serene sunset coastal walk along İzmit's picturesque beaches. Perfect for a tranquil and connective outdoor date without phones.
- Your date begins with a meet-up at İzmit Marina, where the soft sands and the gentle lapping of the sea set a tranquil mood. Holding hands, you start your stroll towards the Değirmendere seaside.
- As you walk along the coastline, notice the seagulls swooping down and the pebbles underfoot. The absence of phones makes you more aware of your surroundings, enhancing your connection with each other and with nature.
- Reach the quaint seaside café near Kandıra as the sun starts to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. Share a local dessert, such as 'sakızlı muhallebi', as you watch the sun dip below the horizon.
Preparation steps:
- Dress casually and comfortably for a walk, ideally in light, breathable clothing due to the warm June weather. Don't forget a bottle of water for each of you to stay hydrated.
- Plan your arrival at İzmit Marina by late afternoon so you don't rush and can enjoy the entire coastline as you walk towards Kandıra. Check local transport or drive, as parking is available around Marina area.
- Since you'll be walking for a while, consider bringing a small, light backpack to carry essentials like a camera (for capturing the sunset), sunscreen, and perhaps an extra sweater in case it gets windy.

Some tips:
- Try to time your arrival at the seaside café just as the sun is setting for the most dramatic views. The colors of the sunset are especially magnificent on a clear day.
- Although the idea is to disconnect, ensure safety by informing someone of your plans and estimated return time. The area is generally safe, but it's always good to be cautious.
- Engage in light and fun games along the walk like 'I spy' or '20 Questions'. This can make the walk more enjoyable and stimulate conversation.
