A very prominent but usually missed structure is the Aya Irini Church, between the first court of Topkapi Palace and the Archeology Museum, behind Aya Sofya.
the archeology museum should not be missed, not only for its Ionian and Roman but also Hittite displays. I also heartily recommend The Museum of Ancient Civilizations, the smaller building just before the Archeological museum.
If you are allowed try to see the digs for the Byzantine palace and Yenikapi harbour.

Very good museums! And (sadly) neglected by many tourists.
