Hot air balloon rides are operated in most eminent sights to see all around the world. Temples, deserts, valleys, waterfalls, castles, rivers and cities, most of those sites are gatered in one place only; it’s called Cappadocia.

No another site on the world covers natural beauties of fairy chimneys, volcanic tufas, valleys, musrooms and castles in one place. However with history of thousands of years it has been a perfect place to visit, dive underground cities, walk in valleys, climb castle and hike among fairy chimneys. A deep history lays behind Cappadocia as a co-work of mother nature and human together to create a life here. After eruption of three volcanic mountains surrounding area, volcanic tufa covered all above land and with every passing year rain and floods worked as a patient artisan on this land.

Then people came to this land and made a home for themselves. Actually nature had already created many larg chimneys which can be easily converted into house. Then they noticed that rock was soft enough to shape and turn into dwellings. Most of them lived here for centuries till Persian attacks and anti-Christian wars they found another way of hiding; building underground cities. Many of houses had a secret connection to underground cities beneath Cappadocia. During attack and invasion periods people would eaisly notice enemies from their high castles and inform others to hide here or in one of countless valleys. Today we will fly above them and see sunrise over these valleys.

Flights cover most of the area and with the help of your professional pilot you will be able to see both panaromic and short distance views to have a unique experience. Hot air balloons are operated all year round everyday except windy days which are risky for all kind of air activities so flights are cancelled by Turkish Aviation Council to protect health of visitors. Many of the companies operating balloons, you need to choose company working with most experienced pilots to enjoy this activity. As you won’t have a chance to do so it will be much easier for you to work with a local partner who will provide a complete package for you.
