It was a bit perplexing as Turkish Airlines had a warning banner when booking the tickets that I should check whether I need a visa for these transfers. Thanks!
No visa needed for any EU member state passport holders to enter or transit in Türkiye. The warning banner is for informative purposes that passengers would not forget to check the entry and transit requirements.
