Miko Fujie:“The elevator tower comes into view after passing through the stylish restaurant street. It's free to ride, and from the top you can see the city of Izmir and the Aegean Sea! It was the most beautiful view I've seen in the city. When you get off the elevator, there is a restaurant on the right where you can have a light meal. I recommend going at sunset!”
