You don't have to go anywhere. Walk. Blue Mosque, Sofia, Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Bazaar, Galata Tower and Bridge, Istiklal, Taksim, Bosphorus walk.
Enough for three days. :-)

How can I get from the airport to the hotel with minimal cost and as quickly as possible? I always went through a travel agency, but maybe everyone decided on their own. Scary. Where to buy a trip to the Bosphorus? I like the guide to tell

What airport are you arriving at? Regarding excursions, I support borispolskiy. It’s worth going only to a panoramic tour of Istanbul and a boat on the Bosphorus (it only depends on the weather, it’s not hot on the water, you know). You can buy tickets for a boat trip right at the pier.

We arrive in Ataturk! Where can I buy a sightseeing tour? I also read that there are some palaces near the sea. How to get there? And when is it better to ride a boat in the afternoon or in the evening to see something? Is it worth it to eat deliciously per person?) There are two of us. waiting for an answer)

Istanbul is good both during the day and in the evening (the illumination is not bad in the center). Near the sea there are two luxurious palaces Chiragan and Dolmabahce. You won’t be able to go to Chiragan just like that, because they made a five-star hotel in it, there is a guard at the gate. And in Dolmabahce without any problems, buy a ticket and go.
You can eat deliciously for 10-15 liras per person, or you can even for 50, depending on the distance of the cafe from the hiking trails.

I have already written several times on the topic of eating, so I just give a link to the discussion: http://www.turpravda.com/tr/stambul/question-43119.html - "... we are going to Istanbul. in the center (Sultanahmed district) for sure everything is expensive, where you can eat near the center is not very expensive..."
Bon appetit! :)
For self-tourism, palaces and sights, we were very helped by the Istanbul guide we bought at home. According to him, the whole visit was planned. You still have time.

Perhaps a sightseeing tour is offered at your hotel. In general, they have an offer of some kind of tours, if they didn’t lie on the hotel’s website. :)

It’s expensive through the hotel’s website, which is why I asked where I can buy on the street! (Three days, you can’t really accelerate to see everything, so I asked what and how quickly and as much as possible to see ...

Type in the search engine "group sightseeing tours Istanbul", a bunch of travel agencies fall out. Faster and more - by yourself, without a group.

From Ataturk, you can get to the old city by metro with a tram change. You can also save on travel by buying an Istanbul card, if you are coming from Kyiv, I can give you one to use.

We are flying from Odessa. But what does the Istanbul card give? How long does it take to get to the old city?

Gives a discount of up to 40 percent on all transport, including ferries. Sold in various food stalls near tram stops. You buy one card for everyone and replenish it with lira, then you pick it to board the transport. Take housing in Sultanahmet. So you save a lot on travel. On the Bosphorus, instead of an excursion, you can simply float on a city ferry, the sensations are the same, but cheaper.
Take the metro for 20 minutes to the transfer and then take the tram for 15 minutes, or walk for 25 minutes a little uphill.

You can take the metro + tram from the airport if there are no big chumadans and children. I tried it once, but it’s inconvenient even with a small suitcase at the transfer, there is no escalator there, everything is on foot up the stairs, and the tram is packed with people, there is nowhere to put the bag.

I was in Istanbul and came to the conclusion that I would not go to this city on my own.

I really liked it when my husband and I went to Istanbul on our own, without a group. Before that, I had been two more times "on a tour", but "exploring Istanbul" by myself is much more pleasant. The main thing is to stock up on a map, a rough plan of what you want to see, and then - to wander, drive, wander around for your own pleasure, find out where which excursions are. In the old part of Istanbul, everything is nearby, on foot. Yes, in three days you will not have time to leave Sultanahmet, and why?

"Agent_borabora, what's the reason? How would you advise to go? What didn't you like?"
The city is not just big, but one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. Beauty does not impress either modern like Singapore and Dubai, or old like Paris and London. If you were in Antalya, then this is Antalya, only stretched to infinity.
Traveling by taxi is associated with many hours of traffic jams. Going down the subway is not comfortable for me, as a European person. There are too many people in the veil around, the feeling is like a rabbit in an aviary with well-fed wolves, no one touches, but you don’t go unnoticed.
For me, being in sight is not a vacation, but a constant tension.
The historical part (Sultanahmet) is still possible to walk (many Europeans), take a boat ride with a Russian-speaking tour of the Bosphorus is interesting. Walking without a Russian-speaking guide is a waste of time.
To put it more correctly, I would only go on a tour again, with pre-planned excursions with a Russian-speaking guide, of course, a paid transfer.

Stunned ... How many people, so many opinions. In Istanbul, dissolving into the crowd is a simple matter. This is a city of visitors, and the veil is not very worn there. A European person just travels by public transport more often than by taxi.
Here, try to come to the Turkish province, there you will be exactly like a white crow.
