More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning air in Cappadocia cuts clean and cool as the minibus eases away from a row of cave hotels in Göreme. A guide counts heads, hands out water, and maps the day: Uchisar’s roofline, the mushroom caps of Paşabağ, the ghostly alleys of Zelve, Love Valley’s curious pillars, a hands-on pottery stop in Avanos — and, finally, the cool hush of an underground city carved beneath the volcanic rock.
