Day trip from Istanbul

So we have an unexpected trip to Istanbul in early September for a wedding. Because of other commitments, we can only stay about six days and of course we have to be in Istanbul because of the wedding. But my partner would like to get out of the city for a day. I know you can take a day trip by plane to Ephesus and other places, but I don’t think that’s really what we had in mind.

What suggestions would you all make for a day trip out of Istanbul that’s not a flight and then another commute to the site?

Thanks

How about day trips to Gallipoli, Troy or a cruise on the Bosphorus Strait? Of the three, I've only experienced the cruise, which was delightful. Me? I'd focus on what's available in Istanbul.
