With its blend of ancient wonders, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural charm, Turkey offers the perfect backdrop for romance. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, a proposal, or simply a special getaway for two, the country’s diverse regions invite you to fall in love — not just with each other, but with the journey itself. If you're searching for romantic things in Turkey that go beyond the ordinary, you're in the right place.

At Amaze by Neon, we specialize in creating tailor-made experiences designed around you. Here’s our handpicked list of the most romantic things to do in Turkey, carefully curated to inspire unforgettable memories.

1- Sunset Magic in Cappadocia

A couple enjoys a romantic sunset picnic in the valleys of Cappadocia, Turkey, surrounded by fairy chimneys, fire pits, and an off-road vehicle.

Few places in the world match the dreamlike beauty of Cappadocia, with its surreal rock formations, hidden valleys, and fairytale cave hotels. But it’s the sunrise hot air balloon ride that turns this destination into something truly magical.

With Amaze by Neon, couples can enjoy a private balloon flight, complete with champagne toasts above the valleys. Later, we can arrange a sunset picnic in a hidden valley, surrounded by fairy chimneys and glowing skies — a signature Amaze moment.


2- Vineyard Escape in Urla: Love in Every Sip

Tucked away along Turkey’s Aegean coast, Urla is a rising star in the world of boutique wine. Rolling vineyards, olive groves, and creative cuisine make it the perfect escape for couples seeking elegance and authenticity.

Let us plan your romantic getaway in a vineyard house, where you’ll sip local wines, enjoy a private tasting with a sommelier, and dine under the stars surrounded by nature. It’s rustic luxury at its finest — and entirely yours.

3- Tranquil Seaside Retreats in Bodrum & Alaçatı

The Turkish Riviera offers more than just beach holidays. In Alaçatı, cobbled streets, windmills, and artisan boutiques create a charming escape. In Bodrum, crystal waters meet sophisticated nightlife and hidden coves.

We recommend exploring by e-bike through village roads, lounging at exclusive beach clubs, or sharing a glass of wine as the sun sets behind the whitewashed houses. Let the breeze, the sea, and the rhythm of the Aegean set the tone for romance.

4- Dinner by the Bosphorus: Istanbul’s Timeless Romance

Istanbul is where East meets West, but also where timeless love meets vibrant energy. A private sunset yacht cruise on the Bosphorus, gliding between two continents, is one of the most iconic couple experiences you can have in Turkey.

Top it off with a rooftop dinner overlooking the Hagia Sophia, or a moonlit stroll through Sultanahmet’s ancient streets. From secret hammams to artisan chocolate tastings, Istanbul’s romantic side is full of surprises.

5- Pamukkale’s Thermal Pools: Soak in Love

Imagine soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters cascading down terraces of white limestone — a scene straight out of a dream. Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle," is both soothing and stunning.

We offer early access visits to the travertines, so you can enjoy the beauty without the crowds. For ultimate relaxation, unwind in the Cleopatra Pool, said to have rejuvenated the Egyptian queen herself, followed by a couples’ spa treatment in a boutique wellness hotel.

6- Mardin: Romance Wrapped in History

For couples who love culture, history, and stunning views, Mardin is a poetic escape. With its sandstone architecture and panoramic views over the Mesopotamian plains, this southeastern gem is rich in atmosphere.

Stay in a restored stone mansion, enjoy sunrise breakfasts overlooking ancient rooftops, and dine by candlelight in private courtyards. In Mardin, time slows down — and so will your hearts.

7- Turkish Hammam & Spa Rituals: A Sensory Journey for Two

Wellness meets romance in a way that’s uniquely Turkish — making hammam rituals one of the most romantic things in Turkey for couples seeking relaxation and connection.

In Istanbul, Cappadocia, and the Aegean coast, Amaze by Neon can arrange a private couple’s hammam session in a historic bathhouse or a modern spa sanctuary. Enjoy foam massages, aromatic oils, and tranquil surroundings designed to awaken the senses and calm the mind.

For a truly luxurious experience, complete your day with a couple’s massage using locally sourced olive oil and essences of rose or lavender. Wellness meets romance in a way that’s uniquely Turkish.
