Hotels in Istanbul Province, Turkey

Istanbul Province straddles Europe and Asia along the Bosphorus Strait, with a climate of hot summers (up to 85°F/30°C) and cool winters (down to 40°F/4°C). Spring and fall offer mild weather perfect for exploring the Sultanahmet district's Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, while a winter visit lets you avoid crowds at the Grand Bazaar and enjoy a traditional Turkish bath. For summer, take a ferry across the Bosphorus from the European side to Kadikoy on the Asian side for a different vibe and cheaper eats.
