The Asansor, of Elevator, was designed as a more convenient means of travel to the living areas on the bluffs above the city. As you can see the hills offer a wonderful view of the bay but would exhaust all but the most hardy resident. Then add the summer heat or conversely, an icy winter day and you have disaster. The Asansor has been converted into an open-air cafe, a top-notch restaurant and a Genoese tavern.
I love the 360 Cities site. Thanks for showing us this view of Izmir.
