June in Istanbul
Sultanahmet puts the Ottoman sights at your door and is the easiest first base, but it empties out at night. Beyoğlu is the city's social heart: restaurants, bars and the Galata tower, with more noise and steeper streets. Kadıköy, on the Asian side, is the local food capital: slower, cheaper and a ferry ride from the old city, ideal for repeat visitors.
