My suggestion is find a travel agent in Turkey. Rates quoted by local agents are always below rack rate. Everything for sale in that country is open to negotiation.
The only travel agency I personally know in Turkey is Okoto Travel in Ankara, not Istanbul however. Two years ago I dealt with "Akif Gurerk", who was great, but I'm not sure if he is still with that exact firm. Email:

Tell Akif that "Greg's LA friend Craig sent you".
