Turkish Coffee Fortune Telling
Get to know one another in a fascinating, culturally significant wayโby seeing what the future holds through the ancient art of Turkish coffee fortune telling. This date idea is perfect for a cozy December evening in Izmir, when the city is at its most festive. Share stories, probe into each otherโโฆ
- You start your date by meeting at a local, cozy coffee shop in the heart of charming Izmir. Once you're seated with your traditional, unmarked coffee cups, you drink the rich, flavorful coffee and chat, getting to know each other more intimately. The unspoken rule of Turkish coffee fortune telling is that a person should not drink the end of the coffee, leaving some coffee grounds in the cup. Then the turning method varies in different cultures. In Turkey, the cup is turned upside down on the saucer and left to cool. Then, those remaining at the meeting may tap the cup handle and say prayers before reversing it into a different way. Then the fortune is read from the coffee grounds.
- After reading the coffee grounds, you engage in discussing each otherโs interpretations and delving into the unique insight brought forth by the fortune teller. This date is both intriguing and fun, offering each of you a glimpse into the otherโs world of beliefs.
- After the session, consider continuing your conversation over a meal as you both reflect on the experience. This will provide a chance to delve deeper into each other's thoughts and feelings, potentially strengthening your bond.
Preparation steps:
- Learn about the practices and interpretation of Turkish coffee fortune telling beforehand as it may vary from region to region.
- Arrange for a local coffee shop that you both like and that offers traditional Turkish coffee. Make sure that it's a comfortable and intimate setting.
- Be open-minded and willing to let loose and enjoy the experience. No one can tell your future perfectly from coffee cup

Some tips:
- Remember that the most important thing is the good energy and the fun you share, not really the fortune telling itself.
- Mind the traditional practice of fortune telling and respect each otherโs belief systems even if you donโt personally believe in the practice.
- Use the fortune telling as a way to open a more meaningful dialogue with your partner rather than just simply predicting the future. Embrace the philosophy, but don't take the divination part too seriously.
