Lover's Lane Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Darsantre: After reading reports that the gazebo has been taken down and that there is work being done in the area, I decided to check on the cache to see how it was doing. The area has been completely cleared and the bench where the cache was hidden has been removed. Time to archive this one.

Geocache Description:

Another microcache in a hidden oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul city life.

Take a stroll in the park (open from sunrise to sunset), enjoy the flowers, observe the statues and archaeological remnants, or have a cup of tea on the Bosphorus and find a geocache!

As you stroll into the gazebo area of the cache location, you will observe couples here and there romantically engaged. Most likely they’ll be too absorbed with each other to notice you looking for a geocache. But woe to your search should the lovers be at the cache location itself. Perhaps you could have a seat across from them, pull out a book, and try to wait them out? If luck is with you and you happen upon the cache area when it is empty, retrieval and replacement of the cache will be fairly quick and easy, but bear in mind that the cache is velcroed onto its hiding spot, so please retrieve and replace with care or the velcro may detach.

This is a log-only microcache, so remember to BRING YOUR OWN PEN OR PENCIL.

At certain times of the year, this park may be busy, so stealth will be required for retrieval and replacement. This cache was placed with a Garmin eTrex and due to cloud and tree cover had an accuracy of 31'/9m.

After a stroll, nearby there's Topkapi Palace, the archaeological museum, the Hagghia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Sunken Cistern, and the Hippodrome to visit, so be sure to have a wander and explore the sights!
