Sunset Poetry Walk
Experience a serene sunset walk through Konya's picturesque landscapes coupled with spontaneous poetry readings for a touch of romance.
- The date begins with a gentle walk around Alaeddin Hill as the couple enjoys the lush surroundings and the soothing breeze of early evening. They take occasional pauses to admire views of the city and the setting sun.
- As the sun begins to set, casting golden hues across the sky, one partner surprises the other by reciting a lovely piece of poetry, tailored to capture the essence of the moment and their feelings. The surprise adds a unique touch to their walk, deepening their connection.
- After walking through Alaeddin Hill, they find a cozy spot to watch the sunset completely. Here, they exchange thoughts about the poems and discuss dreams and future aspirations. The date wraps up with a promise to write a poem together next time, sealing the day with a creative and intimate bond.
Preparation steps:
- Before the date, both partners should prepare by selecting a few poems that resonate with them. These could be famous pieces or personal writings. The idea is to share these as the walk progresses.
- Dress comfortably for the walk, considering the weather, and carry essentials like a water bottle. Since this is a free activity, focus on packing light snacks that wonโt be cumbersome as you move.
- Plan the route in advance, ensuring it captures the beauty of Konyaโs landscapes and ends in a spot perfect for a sunset view. Coordinate times so that the walk peaks with the sunset.
