You arrive under a wide Anatolian sky that seems to carry its own light; the shuttle slips off the tarmac and into a landscape carved by time. Grey and ochre pillars thrust from the ground like the ribs of a buried city, and your guide points toward a low town where doorways are hewn into rock. This is Cappadocia: volcanic tuff shaped by wind and winter rains into the odd, ordered forms locals call fairy chimneys. The first evening you spend in a cave suite, the stone holding heat like a slow ember while the valley cools outside.
