I second the ferry, but take the commuter ferry for a fraction of the price.
WARNING-beware taking ferries to the Princes Islands (Prens Adaları) as there is a limited service and you don't want to get stuck there when your flight takes off (if you do there are Water Taxis).
Kadikoy is nice but if it's your first time in Istanbul, you may want to head to the European side as there is more things to see.
