The van pulls away from a low-slung hotel in Ürgüp and the lunar landscape of Cappadocia unfurls like a living map. Low cliffs and honeycombed rock give way to narrow valleys where wind and time have chiselled towers and chimneys that lean like old friends. Your guide—trained in tourism, fluent in English or Spanish—opens a window on the geology and the people who still carve homes from tuff. By late morning, you’re standing beneath mushroom-cap pinnacles, the rock shading you as if the landscape itself is offering respite.
