Full description

Few experiences match a balloon flight over Cappadocia at dawn. You are picked up from your hotel before sunrise and taken to the launch field, where a light breakfast is served while the balloons are inflated. Then you climb into the basket and lift off gently into the morning air.

For around an hour your pilot drifts over valleys of fairy chimneys, rock-cut dwellings and orchards, rising high for wide views and dropping low into the valleys, depending on the wind. After landing, the crew celebrates with a traditional toast, and you receive a flight certificate before being driven back to your hotel.
