Love is spread everywhere in Istanbul and you can tell that when you walk through its streets, didn’t you see any vendor singing and dancing while selling 1 dollar simit? Or a waitress who is extremely happy that he’s serving your food? If you did not notice that then you must have seen a young couple holding hands under the rain on a romantic evening, maybe a husband and wife celebrating their anniversary in a small Cafe beside the Bosphorus, or some old couple sitting in some old shabby cafe drinking hot Turkish tea. Well, this is Istanbul. The city that never sleeps but gives you a space to have a lovely romantic time with your partner, especially if you are newly married.
So if you are about to get married we have two things to tell you. May God help you, and Istanbul is the best city to spend your honeymoon at
First of all, we both know you want to have a lovely romantic time so I am not going to offer you a day at the ancient Hagia Sophia Museum or Salt Galata Art Gallery. keep it romantic, maybe wild sometimes but do not waste your time looking at pictures and statues inside museums, it is only a month before getting back to the same routine job.
Book a hotel at the heart of Istanbul in the Sultan Ahmet district to stay near famous tourist places and main transportation lines, and make sure you book a king-size bed.
Spend the first two days walking around the old city where you can take some pictures beside the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, you can also buy a ticket to get inside the famous Topkapi palace it is really amazing from inside, and finish the day having a delicious dinner at one of the restaurants’ terraces that view over the Bosphorus. The view is absolutely charming and will make both of you and your partner happy.
Next, get yourself a couple of days off the traffic of Istanbul at the Princes Islands. You guys are going to have an unforgettable time there, ride a horse to the top of the hill, walk between the trees, tell each other how happy you are to be together, take some pictures, until you reach the famous restaurant there and try the famous Turkish kebap with a cold soft drink because it is very delicious. Wait till the sunset and take advantage of the breathtaking view of the sun melting in the sea, at that moment grab your partner's hand and express your ultimate love.
On the second day at Prince's Islands, go to the beach to swim and get some taste under the warm sun.

Next morning, get up early if you can and hit the road toward Ortakoy Square under the Bosphorus bridge to have your breakfast at one of the restaurants there. When you’re done, get a ticket on one of the Bosphorus tour cruises to see the most famous monuments and palaces of Istanbul city from the middle of the Bosphorus strait and when you get back spend some time around at the market next to the square where you can buy your partner a gift.

The Basilica Cistern is by far the most famous in Istanbul, but it's more than just a feat of engineering; it's also a work of art in its own right. Water scarcity has always been an issue in Istanbul. There were no rivers near the peninsula, and the city's springs were never sufficient to meet the demand. As a result, emperors and sultans later had to develop new means to meet the demand for city water.
