The morning sun glints off Alanya’s serrated skyline as a convoy of rugged jeeps threads out of the harbor district and into the first foothills of the Taurus Mountains. Dust rises like a promise; the road narrows into ruts, olive groves thin, and the city’s blue curve of Mediterranean retreats below. By the time the guide stops at a promontory for a panoramic shot, the sea has become a distant plate and the mountains begin to assert themselves—rock faces that once pushed up when tectonic plates collided now challenge the sky.
