During Ramadan, you may find festive iftars throughout the city and in mosques too. So the best time to enjoy would be around iftar.

For festivities, you can visit Feshane in Eyup where you will find many Sufi inspired events and concerts.

For food, you have to try Ramadan Pide Although I'm not a big fan of Turkish bread, but Pide is made specially during Ramadan and worth trying.

Also various kind of dates become popular.

For sweet dish, Gullac is a popular dessert that is made specially during Ramadan.

Mosque timings for visitors might get restricted due to travih, but of course you can join the prayers.

Enjoy your holiday
