Yes it stretched a very long way to the north along, took the Bosphorus ferry for almost 2 hours and was still within the city limits! The same while taking the train to the airport westwards, almost for one hour and still within the city limits, the same when you try to go to the east on the Asian side. Didn't see much of the Asian side though.
It is 2nd largest by city population according to many sources, but it's not so important what it is the largest, it is really huge nevertheless.

Is there an observation deck on top of Sapprhire tower? Why didn't I know that during my visit, I was very close to the tower.
