Dawn in Göreme throws long shadows across the soft tuff; a private, air-conditioned vehicle eases away from your hotel and the day opens like a map. The tour threads through valleys where wind and time have carved caps and columns—the fairy chimneys standing like patient sentries—before you step into painted cave churches and descend into the cool hush of an underground city.
