Sunset Ferry Ride and Bosphorus Dinner
Sail into a magical evening with a sunset ferry ride on the Bosphorus, followed by a delightful waterfront dinner in Istanbul.
- The date begins late afternoon as the couple boards a ferry at Eminönü. They’ll find a spot together on the upper deck, enjoying the cool breeze and watching as the city's skyline unfolds majestically with historical sites like the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace.
- As the sun begins to set, the sky turns a brilliant orange, casting a warm glow over the Bosphorus. They capture this enchanting moment with photos, sipping on Turkish tea served on board, while seagulls flutter alongside the ferry, adding to the charm of the cruise.
- After disembarking, the couple walks to a nearby renowned seafood restaurant located by the waterfront. They choose a cozy table with a view of the still bright waters. The evening continues with selections of fresh fish and mezes, complemented by the soothing sounds of the sea and some live, gentle Turkish classical music playing in the background.
Preparation steps:
- Both should wear comfortable yet stylish outfits, appropriate for an evening that starts on a ferry and transitions to a classy dinner. A light jacket or wrap is recommended since it can get breezy on the water.
- Book the ferry tickets in advance to ensure a spot on the sunset cruise. It’s usually more relaxed and less crowded than day trips, providing a more serene experience.
- Review online or ask local friends for recommendations to select the best seafood restaurant for dinner afterwards. Booking a table in advance, especially one with a good view, will make the dinner even more special.
