The day begins with a thrum of diesel and the sea still low on the horizon as jeeps climb out of Kaş toward terraced vineyards and the honey-colored facades of a former Greek village. By mid-morning you’re sipping tea and eating a simple pancake in Üzümlü, the air smelling of olive and wild thyme; a playful water fight breaks the calm and sets the tone for a hands-on, fast-moving day.
