Dust lifts in a long ribbon as the convoy threads a dirt spine into the Taurus foothills, olive trees blinking past and village roofs shrinking behind. The air cools; pine-scented gullies and terraced fields slide by the Jeep’s flanks. Guides point out ancient stone houses, water channels, and a waterfall where drivers stop so the group can step out into spray and wide, uncomplicated views.
