Visited end Jan 2020. Getting to the cablecar station is simple if you know what you are doing: find a minibus (Dolmus) about a block South of the Otogar, or along major roads with the label YENIYOL. Ask for the Teleferik. When prompted, alight and take another minibus up to the lower cablecar station. A round trip is 8Lira.
The cableway is great! Well managed, feels safe. Comfortable cabins and staff allowed us to have our own cabin even with only 3 people. Throughout the ride there are stunning views of the landscape and city below.
At the top, the weather was crisp and bright, with white icy snow on the ground. Wear shoes with good tread and waterproofing! Views are spectacular on a clear day, and you can choose to walk down a paved pathway to one side or dirt track (covered in snow) to another side.
We brought our own snacks, but there is a small cafe with ample seating at the upper station. However it was understaffed and queues were long.
All in all, well worth...

Read moreAn amazing view and well worth taking a couple hours to have the opportunity to see the beautiful views as you go up, whilst at the top and coming down. Very cheap fee compared to many other cable cars in Turkey!!
Cafe at the top was over priced for warm coffee and I'd have liked to have seen a few other shops or services at the top. Hopefully they will extend further as plenty of room to go higher and further. Good shop at entrance selling good quality items reasonable too. Huge carpark is always a big plus too.
Definitely worth visiting one of the top 3 cable cars in Turkey in our opinion of having travelled on quite a few around...
