You step off the cobblestones of Kaleiçi and the harbor air pulls you toward the water: a steady Mediterranean breeze that teases salt and citrus, the boat’s hull tapping like a metronome as it slides away from the Panoramic Elevator. For two hours the city unfolds from sea level—rust-red rooflines, Ottoman wooden houses, and the scarred stone of Roman walls revealing the city’s long occupation.
