Tea and Dinner at Asansör








I just returned from our mid-week trip and there's not much to update. We were treated to a great concert by a Turkish singer and instrumentalist yesterday which I really enjoyed. Today we headed downtown to a spot known as Asansör, or "the elevator", where we enjoyed a great view and a small dinner. The elevator was built by a businessman to grant access from one neighborhood to another that are separated by a large hill to those that were unable to make the climb. Today there is a great little patio restaurant at the top offering panoramic views of the bay and the city's waterfront. The food was surprisingly cheap for a place known for their unique view. We're winding down the week and preparing for our trip to Fethiye this weekend. It will be another big two-day event with swimming and a boat tour in the Mediterranean as well as a trip to the turtle sanctuary. It should be great!
