The day begins before dawn at an Istanbul airport terminal, a low hum of suitcases and last-minute coffee. Ninety minutes of flight and a short shuttle later you step out into a landscape that seems to rewrite the rules of geology: mushroom-shaped chimneys, honeycombed cliffs, and broad, wind-carved valleys that angle toward a steepled horizon. The Cappadocia Red Tour threads these features together, moving from the lunar forms of Devrent Valley to the sculpted pinnacles of Pasabag and the high viewpoint above Göreme.
