At dawn a dozen balloons lift off the plateau as if the earth itself has decided to breathe upward. The balloons drift across honeycombed valleys where fairy chimneys puncture a milky sky; below, hikers thread narrow trails between carved cave churches and vineyards. By day three you will be tracing marble avenues through Ephesus, watching sun-scrubbed columns throw long shadows across the Library of Celsus, and by the final afternoon you’ll be barefoot on Pamukkale’s mineral terraces, where warm springs push out chalk-white pools that dare you to cool off.
