Detailed itinerary

Balloon ride. One of the best experience of a lifetime. Flying over this unreal landscape will make you feel like you are on moon or another planet. The combination of the colors, first lights of the day and the beauty of the nature completes with the excellent and professional service of the company. From the time we pick you from your hotel till the time we leave you back, you will have amazing time flying over Soganli Valley, Cappadocia.

We will meet in the lobby before beginning our day’s adventures in Cappadocia. We will start by driving to Soganli Village (approximately 1 hour drive), where we can see one of the greatest examples of monastic life that has been hidden and protected.

We will then drive to Sobesos Excavation site of a Roman City with one-of-a-kind floral mosaics that have only recently been discovered.

Upon arrival at the Keslik Monastery, guests will have the opportunity to understand how the people survived and practiced their religion on a small site. This also gives us an idea about their not very well known social life.

We are going to drive to Sinassos where we will see an Old Greek Village, which was re-inhabited after 1927.

We will drive (approximately 20 minutes) to Red Valley to begin our lovely 2-hour hike.

With this hike we are going to complete the daily Cappadocia tour and transfer to our hotel.
