You step out of the minivan and the Black Sea arrives before you: wind pushing salt through rock fissures, gulls circling like small weather systems. The first footfall is at Aladzha, where a cave monastery has been hollowed from limestone and cool shadows hold centuries of fresco dust. Your guide’s voice threads through chambers once home to 13th-century ascetics; the stones feel patient under your palm.
