The cabin hums and the coast drops away beneath you — a 15-minute ascent that feels equal parts calm and electric. Glass windows frame a sharpening sweep of turquoise sea, sheer limestone cliffs, and a ribbon of green forest that climbs the Taurus slopes. At 2,350 metres, the summit plateaus into wide sky; the air is noticeably cooler and the views stretch from the Gulf of Antalya to the far horizon.
