This wasn't in any of the guide books, but it was worth a visit. This elevator takes you to the top of the hill which offers a great view of the city.

Despite hating lifts this one is worth a trip in. The views of Izmir are lovely. However don't eat in the cafe at the top it is over priced!

Surprisingly experience to come to the Asansor and go to the top quite free of charge and to enjoy the beautiful view over the entire city and golf.

I walked from the Swissotel which is close to Konak Pier to Asansor. The best way to see any city is to walk, there is so much to see, don't be afraid! A good tip is to set out from your hotel just after sunrise and arrive early at Asansor. If you are a couple go before sunrise, I was... More

Nice place to have a drink or a meal in a chic restaurant with a good view of izmir bay. Unfortunately the neighbourhood has not been protected so it's not as nice as at the "asansör". So don't be surprised of the contrast and don't plan to wander around the whole afternoon there. There is no sufficient things to do... More

I had my engagement party here and all I can say was the restaurant inside (the one in the old engine room) couldn't have been nicer. A bit like a castle inside it made for a warm evening. We shared the restaurant with a Greek family also having a festival. The place was perfect to treat the family and the... More

In late October 2008 the restaurants at the top of the Ascensor were closed for renovation - looked like it might be for a couple of months - This was an okay site - basically its a tall building with an elevator inside - Not really worth it unless you have a few hours to kill and have nothing else...
