Istanbul weather reviews

Karina, March 2023
After watching many films about the beauties of Istanbul, I really wanted to visit this city. And for the March holidays I received a trip as a gift. In the heat, sightseeing is a dubious pleasure, but March, in my opinion, turned out to be the ideal option. It was sunny. The temperature during the day rose to +14. In a thick jacket and covering your throat with a scarf, you could walk for a long time. I finally saw Topkapi Palace, Sultanahmet and Suleymaniye Mosques and Hagia Sophia. In the evening it was cool - +8+10 in temperature, but because of the wind it felt colder. But, in general, the weather is good and much better suited for excursions than summer.
