Dusty gravel spits up behind the Land Rover as you climb out of Alanya’s citrus flats and into the Taurus range. Pine slopes tighten, dry creekbeds cut silver lines through rock, and the jeeps cough up switchbacks until the valley opens and the Dimçay River calls you down to its shaded lunch tables.
