About Asansör

Izmir Asansör, nestled in the Karataş quarter of Izmir, is more than just an elevator. It was built in 1907 by Nesim Levi Bayraklıoğlu, a wealthy Jewish banker. This historic building was initially designed to connect the lower streets of Karataş to the more elevated neighbourhoods. This engineering feat was inspired by the grand elevators of Europe and crafted to assist the elderly and differently-abled. The construction of the elevator also significantly improved mobility in this hilly region of the city.


Today, Izmir Asansör stands as a beloved landmark, boasting a charming café and restaurant at its summit. Visitors can enjoy a meal while enjoying panoramic views of the city and the Aegean Sea. The journey to the top aboard the beautifully maintained elevator offers a unique perspective of Izmir's urban landscape. The street leading to the elevator is now named after the famous Turkish-Jewish singer Dario Moreno. It adds a cultural richness, blending historical significance with modern-day Izmir's vibrant life. Enhance your Turkey travel itinerary with a visit to this iconic tower, promising not only exquisite dining and breathtaking views but also a memorable addition to your Turkish adventure.
