Re: Istanbul
[color=blue]IMHO, you must take a side trip to Ephesus. It is THE most fascinating destination I've ever visited. It was once a seaport city and the Temple of Artemis (one of the 7 wonders of antiquity) is here. I visited Ephesus during a layover while on a Greek cruise. Your ship can probably arrange for the same trip.
You will very much enjoy the sites you already noted. There is enough time to see them and also visit Ephesus. We were in port for approximately the same number of hours.
For much more info, go to: http://www.ephesus.us/
