Some tips:

  • Istanbul is a vibrant city and is known for getting quite crowded, especially in popular tourist spots. Be sure to check the timings and location of the teahouse, and, if needed, book a reservation to ensure availability. It's also a nice gesture to tip the servers at the teahouse.
  • While conversing during your date, try to focus on each other instead of the surroundings. This will help in creating a deeper connection and understanding. Interrupting the conversation with your partner to answer a call or respond to a message may seem disrespectful, so itโ€™s better to keep phones on silent.
  • Lastly, while enjoying the traditional Turkish music, you might feel the urge to join in the dance or clap; feel free to do so. However, be mindful of the overall environment and let the music guide you.
