About Sultanahmet in May
Sultanahmet's dense Ottoman-era stone architecture and narrow streets on the Historic Peninsula's highest ridge create significant heat retention, while its triple-water exposure to the Golden Horn, Bosphorus, and Marmara provides cooling breezes from multiple directions. The elevated position above sea level makes it one of the windiest historic districts, with the open plazas around Hagia Sophia channeling strong northeast winds in winter.
