No Experience Required

The morning fog lifts off the Bosphorus and Istanbul yawns into a day of minarets and seafaring commerce. You feel the city more than see it at first: the distant call to prayer threading through ferry horns, the tea steam on quay-side tables, and the river of people moving between continents. Six days later, after a short domestic flight, the world changes: the land in Cappadocia spreads flat and lunar, a high plateau cut by valleys of soft volcanic tuff where fairy chimneys rise like improvised towers.
