The Turkish city of Izmir has the landmark lift - Asansör. The elevator is located in the city district of Konak and is one of the most striking urban sights. The history of the construction of this elevator, opened in 1907, is very interesting. The lift was built on the initiative of one of the rich local traders who wanted to connect the Karatash quarters with the summit of the hillside.

With the support of his friend banker, the dealer began the construction of a wonderful tower lift, with which he planned to transport the goods delivered by the ships. Although the Asansör elevator has long since lost its original meaning, it is still used today for the intended use. Most passengers of the lift are the tourists. On the hill top are many interesting tourist attractions.
There is one of the best viewing platforms in the city, as well as the wonderful restaurant with the panorama on Izmir, where one can taste the popular dishes of Turkish cuisine and delicious sweets. The experienced tourists recommend to visit the restaurant in the evening. At sunset the panorama of the city looks particularly impressive and beautiful. The legendary restaurant, which is located in the upper part of the elevator shaft, can also be recommended to the vegetarians, at their disposal a special menu.
