You arrive into Istanbul just as the Bosphorus softens into early light, the call to prayer folding through the city and tugging at the day ahead. The itinerary moves like a careful hand: two nights in the imperial sprawl of Istanbul, then a sweep across western Anatolia to the marble terraces of Pamukkale, the open-air ruins of Ephesus, and the moon-scored valleys of Cappadocia. Each place has a distinct cadence—the clamour of the Grand Bazaar, the hush of a columned Roman street, and the dry hush of volcanic rock that seems to listen.
