The Izmir cable car is an absolute must-do if you're in the city! The ride itself offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, the coastline, and the surrounding mountains. It’s a short, 7 minute, scenic trip to the top, and once you get there, you’re greeted with even more stunning views, beautiful green spaces, and a well-maintained park that's perfect for a relaxing walk or picnic. There are also two cafés in the park when you get there. They provide basic coffee and tea options with self-service, but also great views and chill atmosphere.
What makes the experience even better is how affordable everything is! Parking right next to the cable car is just 100 TL for the whole day, and the tickets for the cable car are only 40 TL – an incredible deal for such an amazing experience. Whether you're a tourist or a local, this is the perfect way to enjoy Izmir from a new perspective. Highly...

Amazing! It's really high, but cabins looks safety for those who have fear of hight as me. But it's definitely worth to visit there! It costs 9 tl. On the top there is a beautiful clean Park and cafe area with magnificent views and clean mountain air. The park is under the shadow of trees that makes this place nice for hiding from the hot sun of Izmir... Take a glass of Turkish tea in a cafe, the tea was really good... Also it has picnic area, and nice playground for kids. Wc are clean, and as for tourists place everything is nice and clean and beautiful!
Only wish is the information signs should have translation to English for those who don't know...
