Vicky and Meka hit the road in the early hours, climbing up Nemrut Dağı to catch a stunning sunrise and peel back the mystery of King Antiochus I’s ancient tomb. Massive statues, each ten metres tall and with heads separated from their bodies, are scattered across the mountaintop—yet archaeologists are still searching for the entrance to the tomb.

Next, they leave southeastern Türkiye behind and drive straight to the heart of Cappadocia, where they check into a cave hotel. At the one-of-a-kind Göreme Open-Air Museum, they’re surrounded by stunning cave art and architecture, and can feel the layers of history from different times and cultures echoing through the winding canyons.
