Day 2 in Türkiye takes us from Ankara through rolling countryside to the surreal Tuz Gölü salt flats, a spontaneous stop in Aksaray’s ancient cave dwellings, and a stormy arrival in Cappadocia. Between roadside pide, centuries-old churches, and a rainbow over Pigeon Valley, this day is a reminder to move forward, make decisions, and let the experience unfold.

Our 20-day Türkiye adventure begins with a ferry from Lesvos to Ayvalık, a coastal town on the Aegean Sea, followed by a seven-hour drive through olive groves, mountain roads, and unforgettable Turkish roadside stops on the way to Ankara.
