About the time in Çatalca
Çatalca sits at latitude 36.81, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 07:23 local time, giving 13h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (36.81, 35.01) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Çatalca.
The zone identifier Europe/Istanbul is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Istanbul keeps pointing at Istanbul time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
