Sunset Stroll and Poetry by the Bosphorus
Experience a magical sunset stroll along the Bosphorus in Üsküdar, filled with heartfelt poetry readings and mesmerizing views.
- Begin your evening with a gentle stroll along the scenic pathways of Üsküdar's coastline. As the sun begins to set, find a comfy spot near the Maiden's Tower, where the view is particularly breathtaking.
- Carry a collection of romantic poetry to read aloud to each other. The backdrop of the golden sunset and the gentle lapping of the Bosphorus waters create a perfect romantic atmosphere.
- Conclude your date with a visit to a quaint local café. Enjoy traditional Turkish tea and desserts as you continue to revel in the romantic vibe of the night, talking and planning future adventures together.
Preparation steps:
- Select a few romantic poems that resonate with you, or even better, write your own. Put them in a beautiful notebook to bring along on your date.
- Dress comfortably yet elegantly to match the charm of Üsküdar's historical ambiance. Consider the weather; you might want a lightweight jacket as evenings by the water can get cool.
- Bring a small, portable mat or find a bench where you can sit comfortably together while reading poems and watching the sunset.
