The morning begins with a door-to-door pickup from a Göreme hotel and the hum of a private car cutting through a landscape that looks engineered by wind. Balloons may still be drifting above the valleys as the guide drives toward Uçhisar; the castle’s rock face rises like a collapsed cathedral, its windows and tunnels catching the first light.
