I was in Turkey a couple of years ago during the Eid holidays and didn't face any problems. Most tourist sites are open and the tram service is free (not sure if that is still the same). My only disappointment was the Grand Bazaar which was closed for the end of Ramadan holidays. However, I got to see that this year on my second trip to Turkey! Hope you have a great time! Turkey is one of my favourite places.

Lucky you!
Enjoy all those special dishes they have for ramadan. I was lucky to be there during last year ramadan. The only problem you might enter is that all restaurants fill up with hungry turks when it is "allowed" to eat in the afternoon. No problem, eat abit later. And, there is no problem with getting alcahole either. Some few restaurants do not serve alcahole during ramadan - ask them before ordering (if you want alcahole). As mentioned above - some places might be closed, have other opening hours.
