You step out of the airport into a city that has carried empires on its shoulders. In Istanbul the domes and minarets puncture the sky like punctuation marks, and your first walk—through the Sultanahmet district—feels like turning pages in a history book. Later, a short flight pulls you inland: Cappadocia’s moonscape opens with chimneys and honeycombed rock that seem to have grown from some patient, geological hand. Waves of travertine at Pamukkale glitter like a pale river of stone. Along the Aegean, Ephesus offers streets where marble still remembers the soles that trod them.
