You arrive before the heat of the day, the road thinning into olive-lined lanes and low stone walls that mark small parcels of fields. Morning light spills over a village garden where a long wooden table awaits—plates of white cheeses, sun-bright tomatoes, smoky olives, jars of marmalade and stacks of thin gözleme passed from hand to hand. The air smells of baking dough and strong tea; the village moves at a pace that invites you to slow.
