The covered market & Blue Mosque in Istanbul were really interesting to me. There are also a number of rooftop restaurants around the city, and I recommend doing dinner at least one night at one of them. They give you amazing 360 degree views of the city. I can't remember the name of the one we went to, but just keep your eyes out for hotels that have 'rooftop' on their adverts. Oh, and if you wake easily, prepare to be awoken every morning at 4:45 am with the call to prayer. I think they broadcast it over speakers at each Mosque first thing in the morning & throughout the day.
