Dawn breaks over Göreme as a line of vans eases out of hotel driveways and the valley exhales a pale gold. On a full-day Cappadocia tour you trade the postcard from a rooftop for the dirt beneath your boots — winding closer to needle-like fairy chimneys, stepping into valleys carved by wind and river, and pausing at a potter’s wheel where centuries-old clay rotates under a craftsman’s hands.
