Time in Turkey
Turkey uses Istanbul time (UTC+3) for the locations in this directory.
Turkey does not currently change this zone seasonally; its UTC offset remains fixed unless the law or time-zone database is updated.

Coverage Across Turkey
The directory currently includes 8 cities in Turkey. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.
Within this city set, Istanbul is the furthest north and Antalya the furthest south, a latitude span of about 4.1°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.
Izmir and Gaziantep are the east-west extremes represented here, about 10.3° of longitude apart. Longitude changes when the sun reaches local noon and the horizon, so one sunrise, sunset or prayer timetable should not be reused for every city.
