The Cozy Turkish Evening
Unwind with a beautiful, gentle, and heartwarming date night, inspired by Turkish culture. Perfect for delicate souls who enjoy peace and simplicity.
- Begin your date by creating eastern themed indoor picnic, fill your place with soft and comfortable cushions, Kilim rugs, and ambient Turkish music for that perfect Turkish atmosphere. Make some simple Turkish snacks.
- Follow up with a traditional Turkish game night. Play games like Tavla (Backgammon) and Şah Şato, which are deeply rooted in the Turkish culture. It's a great chance to enjoy a little friendly competition and learn about a different culture together.
- Finish your memorable date with some thoughtful conversations over a warm mug of Salep. Share stories, talk about your dreams, and be grateful for each other’s company.
Preparation steps:
- Set up a warm and comfortable area inside your place for the indoor picnic.
- Prepare some simple Turkish snacks ahead of time. You can make Simit (Turkish bagels) and ayran (Turkish yogurt drink).
- Find and print out the rules of Tavla and Şah Şato games for your game night. Prepare some questions or topics to talk about over the warm drink.

Some tips:
- To enhance the experience, try to make the environment look as close to a traditional Turkish living room. This could be achieved by adding some authentic Turkish home décor.
- Don’t worry if you don’t know how to play the games, the rules are not difficult to understand and it could be fun to learn together.
- Specifically buy a blend of sahlep mix (in powdered form) from an ethnic store or online. The sahlep plant is an endangered species because of the over-harvesting of its roots in the wild.
