The coach eases out of Kemer before dawn, headlights cutting across a ribbon of asphalt as the Taurus range folds into the distance. For most of the first day you watch Anatolia roll by — olive groves give way to scrub, then to the basalt-scarred plateau that becomes Cappadocia — a landscape that seems to be actively rearranging itself. Arrive midmorning, and the region announces itself with honey-colored cliffs, mushroom-shaped spires and narrow valleys that catch and hold the light.
