You step out of the car at Göreme Panorama and the landscape reaches for you—columns of volcanic tuff sculpted into towers and caverns, the wind having learned patience here. The day moves at a steady, human pace: short walks through Pigeon and Love Valleys, a riverside pause in Avanos, then down into the cool chambers of Özkonak Underground City. The land does the talking; you listen.
