Timeline
16:57
Grab a coffee and a pastry at Bogazici Lokantasi. It is open late enough to fit this in before the sun goes down, and it is close to the baths.
17:17
Walk up to the Roman Baths. The ruins are open until 16:30, so you will need to check the route for entry or view the exterior if you arrive after closing. The stone walls hold the warmth of the day.
17:47
Stand among the ruins as the sun sets toward the WSW. The fading light highlights the texture of the ancient stone.
18:07
Walk down to Youth Park. It is a short walk from the baths. Sit in the park and let the evening air cool you down after the historic site.
Local tip
The baths close at 16:30. If you arrive after that, you can still view the exterior from the street. Youth Park is a good place to rest after the walk.
