Awesome scenic elevators at Gülizar Sitesi, Masa Dağı, Antalya, Turkey
PostTower's mediterranean elevator series - Totally beautiful scenic outdoor elevators with swing doors in some upper class residential buildings, built by Örnek Asansöreli.
Masa Dağı lies up on a hill and the lifts have their glass wall directed to the side where the hill goes down and the city centre is. As a result, you have a priceless panorama of the city while you ride these elevators. I can not remember such a great view from any scenic elevator before. People living here can be very lucky to have such UtmostTreasures in their house.
Unfortunately these elevators will soon (if they didn't already) get a shaft with glass wall. They need to do that, because there is a lot of heavy wind when weather is bad and that wind is strong enough to open the shaft door which then makes the elevator unusable for people calling it on the ground floor. Lucikly I managed to film them still without that glass wall - which is the most amazing fact about these elevators.
The elevators are newer than one might expect. Swing doors were still totally common in Turkey in the early 2000s. I think they are even still sometimes used for new elevators in residential building (like they also still build new elevators without inner doors in Cairo). However, these ones here have inner doors originally from when they have been built. I asked some resident here and he told me that as he lives here from when the buildings have been finished. Also the buttons are original.
These elevators still use reliable relay control.
How to reach this place by using public transport
Bus MC12 and MF40 - every 15 - 20 minutes service
bus stops up here are unnamed. You can leave the bus close to a training park which can already be seen from the distance. Usually the residential areas in Masa Dağı have some janitor walking around the buildings, be aware of that. Most of them do not talk English. However, some people speak German as they used to work there and returned back to Turkey later.
Female colours in the elevator at Mehmet Ünsal Sitesi, Masa Dağı, Antalya, Turkey
This private residential property has three buildings and each of then with an elevator. The building I have been to got its colours straight off a doll house.
This elevator must have been built in the mid 90s as it is still without inner doors. The three buildings here provide an awesome view onto the city but only from inside the flats. The electric equipment of the elevators has been delivered by Örnek. But I think the cabs have been created by non-elevator companies which was quite common in Turkey and I REALLY like that. Cab design should be done by designers, not by elevator companies. Many elevator companies often think very practical and dont give very much on cab design which often results in basic stainless steel cabs. Unfortunately this now seem to change in Turkey too. I am very worried about this.

KONE M-Series paradise at Antalya Hotel***** Resort & Spa, Turkey
Three amazing KONE M-Series elevators in this amazing five star hotel in Lara, Antalya. These elevators have a design like marine KONE M-Series elevator, amazing! What a great hotel to stay in for a elevator filmer!
The first two elevators are passenger ones. They have typical early KONE variable frequency with point landing. No chime, but nice design and nice fixtures. Unfortuntely the doors are not typical KONE doors. The service elevator has a swing door with Stahl door handle and no inner doors. Also the swing doors are windowless. This elevator also has M-Series fixtures, but also no chime. This elevator has old relay controlled leveling.

Hooping in a Glass Elevator
In a very nice hotel - Rixos- in Antalya, Turkey I overcame my innate claustrophobia to hula hoop in an elevator. It helped that it was glass. Another great addition to weird places I have hooped. A fellow guest joined me in the elevator and fortunately there was room for both of us. Appropriately enough, the image for the hotel is eerily similar to that for BURNING MAN. How cool!
Public transport & elevators in Antalya, Turkey

Two new bridges (with elevators?) have been built at Adnan Menderes Blv. and Kızılırmak Cd since I've been here.
Amazing Thyssen - Nuras elevator w/o inner doors, Güllük Caddesi, Antalya, Turkey
Very amazing elevator with Thyssen callbuttons, thyssen door interlocks. The buttons in the elevators look like they have been replaced. The new panel which also displays a mobile number to be called when you are stuck (so these buttons can not really be from the 80s).
This building is a typical residential building with some shops using the ground and first floor.
How to reach this place by using public transport:
Heritage tram - tram stop Selekler, comes every 30 minutes
Bus KC06, LC07, KL08, UC11, MC12, CV14, TC16 / very often
Small bus VC30, TC45, TC46, CV47, MC58 / very often apart from VC30 (every 30 mins)
Zaman elevator with original inner doors at Sinem Sitesi, Masa Dağı, Antalya, Turkey
This elevator with swing doors is much newer than it looks because the buildings in Masa Dağı are really new (Masa Dağı did not have any of those tall residential building until the 90s).
In the mid 1990s (somewhen around 1997 I guess) elevator still had no inner doors. Elevators past that years probably did have inner doors from scratch but the tradition of using swing doors has continued. I think elevators with swing doors still get built.
In this private residential property with around 4 buildings all of the buildings look similar and have similar elevators - this here is one of them. Notice the amazing clicking sound of the movement controller of the folding inner door. Very special!

Amazing elevator w/o inner doors at flats, Arık Caddesi, Antalya, Turkey
PostTower's mediterranean elevator series - Amazing elevator with R. Stahl fixtures inside, almost original I think this elevator is from the mid 70s, but 80s can also be possible.
This elevator has a swiss style cab light (really, does not make sense so much to say that since in Turkey also almost every elevator has this, Turkish style cab light would describe the same) - the cab light turns off when elevator is not in use...
Unlike european elevators, most simple Turkish cabs get built by construction companies rather than elevator companies. This is the interesting generic elevator culture in Turkey. Usually 2-3 companies are involved in creating a single elevator. Thyssen delivered the fixtures and - I think also motor and door interlock. The doors by themselves seem to be a Turkish generic design, I have seen them everywhere. I really wonder who is behind those generic shaft doors with long window in the middle. Looks really nice.
The TSE logo does not describe the manufacturer. TSE is just the safety checking organisation (and a very tolerant one compared with our German TÜV). That unfortunately did not protect many elevators from getting inner doors. I have found a lot of Turkish elevators with inner door modification. Lucikly this elevator isn't one of them.
How to reach this elevator using public transport:
Bus lines LC07, KL08, LC38, UC60, TC64
Buses come very often apart from TC64 which comes every 60 min
Only buses which enter the city towards Doğu Garajı stop next to this elevator - if you come from the city, take KC06 or KL08 direction Lara/Meydan and change into one of the buses stated above (opposite direction!) at the big intersection Portakal Çiçeği (that is where the heritage tram ends, Zerdalilik).
You can also walk from AntRay stop Doğu Garajı, but that is a long walk.

SCHLIEREN IN TURKEY!!! 1965 Schlieren Single Speed Elevator at an Apartment Building in Samsun
This was my very first Schlieren and it's more than awesome. It's completely original and single speed. You really can feel the quality. The interesting thing is I didn't managed to find a Schlieren in Istanbul, our biggest and most populated city, but I managed to find it in Samsun, which is a little city in the coast of black sea. Schlieren is now my favorite vintage elevator brand and hope i'll find more Schlierens in Istanbul.
