A diesel hum and the smell of pine greet you as the jeep climbs the Dilek Peninsula, cliffs falling away to the Aegean and the silhouette of Samos on the horizon. Wind tugs at loose maps; sun slashes through the pines. The convoy pauses at a viewpoint — salt and stone spread below — then barrels down toward shaded groves where a barbecue smokes and guides laugh as jeeps stage playful water fights.
