You step out before dawn and the valley exhales — cool air rolling off sculpted hills of tuff, the first light slipping into chimneys that look almost deliberate. Over two days a private guide folds the landscape into a story: scattered cave houses, hidden churches painted with ochre saints, and underground networks that once sheltered whole communities.
