Anyone been to Istanbul for any length of time?

Thinking of a week mid-June - some ridiculous deals at the moment including flights and decent hotels.

Is a week too long and, if so, any recommends on day/overnight trips from the city?

Was thinking a two day trip to Cappadocia, with flights as cheap as 30 euros.
