Istanbul and Turkey Time Since 2016
Quick answer: Istanbul uses Turkey Time (TRT) · UTC+3 year-round · no daylight saving.
Istanbul uses Turkey Time (TRT), UTC+3, all year. Turkey used to change clocks and ran on UTC+2 in winter, but in 2016 it stayed on UTC+3 permanently, so there's no seasonal change in Istanbul any more.
That puts Istanbul level with Moscow, Doha and Riyadh, one hour behind Dubai, and 2 hours 30 minutes behind India. 9:00 AM in Istanbul is 10:00 AM in Dubai.
The gap with Europe now moves with Europe's clocks. 9:00 AM in Istanbul is 6:00 AM in January and 7:00 AM in July in London. In Paris it's 7:00 AM in January and 8:00 AM in July.
Data point: Turkey stayed on UTC+3 permanently after 8 September 2016, cancelling the October change back to UTC+2. Time.is time zone news
