The best time to visit Istanbul is in spring (April to June) or autumn (Sepetmeber & October). Winter in any other part of Turkey but Istanbul is not advisable getting seriously snowed in or rained out.
The two most important events in the Turkish calendar that you need to keep in mind while planning your trip are the Kurban Bayrami and Ramazan. Turkey has a 5 day public holiday for the former and this could seriously affect your plans.
Seasons which see the Formula 1 Grand Prix or the International Film Festival are quite full and may make it difficult for you to find accommodation. Plan ahead!
