You step out of the minibus into a high Anatolian plain where the wind seems to have a hand in the architecture. The valley air is thin—Göreme sits at about 1,200 m—and it carries dust from volcanic tuff that, over millennia, a patient sky and flowing winter meltwaters have carved into chimneys, cones and caves. This is the Red Tour: a compact, seven-hour circuit that stitches together the region’s most iconic rock-work: the painted caverns of the Göreme Open-Air Museum, the capped pillars of Pasabag, Devrent’s animal-like silhouettes and Avanos, where pots are still spun by the same red clay washed down from Erciyes and Hasan volcanoes.
