HOTEL
Built in 1907 to make the steep climb between Karataş and Halil Rıfat Paşa Street easier, the Historic Elevator is now one of İzmir's favourite viewpoints.
At the top, you can enjoy sweeping views of the bay and the Karşıyaka waterfront. Nearby Dario Moreno Street, with its colourful houses and small cafés, is ideal for a short stroll.
Just before sunset is the best time to visit if you want to enjoy both the view and the city lights.
Tip
Karataş is a short bus or taxi ride from Konak; do not miss the sunset.
