Cappadocia is the kind of place that attracts with its surreal landscapes. And you have the opportunity to have a bird's eye view of them. We invite you to take a hot air balloon ride. In one hour, you will enjoy the fabulous scenery in the rays of the rising sun
Balloon flights in Cappadocia are available all year round. The only reason for their cancellation is bad weather, for which the state supervisory service issues a corresponding order. However, the best time to go ballooning is from April to October,... when Turkey has warm, sunny weather with the least amount of precipitation. As for winter, it is also interesting, but visibility will be worse due to dense clouds, snow or rain. Air travel takes place twice a day - in the early morning (5 to 6 am in summer and 6 to 7 in winter) and in the afternoon.
Pilots advise you to choose the first option. Firstly, it's the only way to admire the gorgeous sunrise, and secondly, there are often strong winds in the area during the day, so your flight may not take place.
What you need to know before you fly? For a bird's eye view of Cappadocia, take heed of these useful tips:
Dress warmer - it's quite cold in the sky, even despite the heat coming from the burner;
Try to get a good night's sleep - the transfer to the hotel arrives around 5-6am;
Refuse alcoholic drinks - tourists in a drunken state may not be allowed on board;
Some companies do not allow pregnant women and children under 6 years old to board - this fact should be clarified at the stage of booking tickets;
Give preference to comfortable sports clothes and shoes. Sunglasses and a hat are also useful;
Bring a camera or video camera with a powerful lens - it will not only allow you to see the local landscape, but also to film it as a souvenir. But even if you don't plan to take part in the flight itself, believe me, the pictures against the backdrop of hundreds of flying balloons will be the best in the album;
If you're prone to motion sickness, take a tablet;
But you should not eat too much or drink too many fluids before the start of the tour - the aerial journey takes at least an hour, and there are no toilets in the sky See more
