Serene Waterfront Café Overlooking Istanbul's Islands

A tranquil outdoor waterfront café on a sunlit terrace along the Bosphorus, Istanbul. A wooden deck with wicker chairs surrounds a small round table set with a steaming traditional Turkish coffee cup, a copper cezve, and a plate of simit. Lush potted plants frame the foreground, and soft curtains flutter in a gentle breeze. In the distance, the Princes' Islands (Büyükada, Heybeliada) rise above turquoise water as small ferries glide by and seagulls circle. The golden hour casts warm, reflective light across the calm sea, creating a dreamy, serene mood with subtle lens flare and gentle bokeh. The scene is rendered in photorealistic detail or painterly style, shot from eye level at the table, inviting the viewer to savor coffee while taking in the stunning island view.
