I can't wait to get to Istanbul.
I'm a fan of driving about, I got a GPS with the ability to add worldwide maps, specifically now I have all of Europe. Turkey is $69 (All of Europe is $99) addition to the Garmin GPS cost. You can also easily resell the map as it comes on an SD card which is easily sold and mailed in an envelope.
I love it because it lets me explore the way I explore any city I've lived in, but just going around and not worrying about getting lost and still knowing how to get back to my home.
For car rental prices, I've not been able to beat autoeurope.com. I use it exclusively to book my reservations when traveling Europe. They are an aggregator based in Maine and really easy to deal with if there are any problems. They deal with all the major US brands and also many of the local European big brands that you'd never know to look for.
have a fun trip. drink lots of coffee and tisane.
