The morning air smells of pine and river stone as the minibus eases away from Side and the coast fades into a serrated line of limestone.

Köprülü Canyon sits on ancient routes; stone bridges and Roman artifacts in the region reflect its long use as a passage between inland Anatolia and the Mediterranean coast.
