Fly Over Cappadocia at Sunrise
A Cappadocia hot air balloon flight is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Turkey. The day starts before sunrise, when the valleys are still quiet and the balloon crews prepare the aircraft under the first colors of dawn.
After hotel pick-up, you will be transferred to the launch area selected by the pilots according to the morning wind conditions. While the balloon is being inflated, you can enjoy a light breakfast with tea or coffee. Once the balloon rises, you will float above the fairy chimneys, vineyards, cave houses, and panoramic valleys of Cappadocia for approximately 1 hour.
After landing, the experience ends with a traditional champagne ceremony and a commemorative flight certificate. Then you will be transferred back to your hotel, usually early enough to continue your day with a private tour or breakfast at your hotel.
