I visited for about 10 days. The Rick Steves book is the best guide and will lead you to the best places. Besides the usual Haiga Sophia, Blue mosque, Topaki Palace…The ride along the Bosphorous to the Black Sea is really good and the archaeological museum is amazing. I stayed in a condo next to the Galata Tower. I would do the same. There is a great fish hole-in-the-wall restaurant next to the tower. Do go up in the Tower and have a drink!
