This graticule at 41,29 contains the Anatolian, Asian part of Istanbul. It also contains a small part of the Rumelian, European part of the city, the rest of which is part of 41,28. Istanbul used to be the capital until it moved to Ankara in the 1920s, but it's still the largest city in Turkey.

There's lots of water, but that's alright, since mass transit goes everywhere and the city has so many graticules close by. As for the land, the concrete jungle seems to be everywhere at first glance, but there's actually lots of small patches of green that the urban sprawl forgot: The trouble is getting there, and that's where we come in!
