You climb into a rugged, open-sided jeep as the Anatolian light thins to gold, and the landscape opens into a maze of cones and ridges. The vehicle bumps onto red-earth tracks; fairy chimneys loom like stone sentries and terraces of volcanic tuff roll away toward distant plateaus. Wind-carved valleys dare you to look closer, while small pigeon holes and weathered churches mark centuries of human tenacity carved into soft rock.
