The sun slides behind serrated ridgelines as your ATV hums across compacted tuff, dust sparking in the last light. You start in Göreme, helmets clipped and briefed, then drive into a landscape carved by wind and time—red sandstone ribs, mushroom-shaped chimneys, and narrow tracks that thread between ancient cave churches.
