Climb high enough and the air changes, the plan changes, even your intentions change — in Kartepe you can pass through three seasons before reaching the summit. Down below, the lakeshore sits calm; up top, fog swallows you whole and warms your cold coffee twice over. Everyone escaping the industrial noise up here learns the same lesson: the mountain mocks anyone in a hurry. Can't decide what to do? Roll the dice and let the elevation handle it.
