You step out of the minibus into a light wind that pulls dust and scent across a forest of stone pinnacles. In the early light the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia throw long shadows like sentries; their pale faces hold centuries of erosion and human hands that hollowed them into homes and churches. This Red Tour stitches together those high, open-air panoramas with a very different world below—an underground city where corridors squeeze into the rock and history breathes in cool, dim air.
