12 Hours in Istanbul

I'm going to be stuck in Ataturk airport on Thursday and I fancy going into the city, any recommendations on what to do with 12 hours in Istanbul?

There are some wonderful mosques and a bloody ginormous souq to explore. Travel within the city centre is easy too. Should be fun...

Plenty to do in 12 hours, I would take a taxi to the City center and visit Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Cistern (all walking distance from each other). Then take the tram and get off in the Souk and go to a Turkish bath for a massage just before going for drinks/dinner before coming back to the airport.

Enjoy Istanbul, a great city.
