You step off the coach into a breeze that smells of salt and citrus—Antalya’s coastline stretched to one side, the Taurus Mountains cutting a serrated line inland. The day opens with a lift-ticket in your pocket: the Tunektepe cable car will haul you from near sea level to about 700 meters, and the city below rearranges itself into rooftops and harbor boats while pines lean in to listen.
