About this experience
Ever thought about getting to know a city from the view above?
Hot-air Ballooning is the most popular way of seeing the landscape. That’s also what makes unique Cappadocia so famous.
Board the basket and feel the balloon lift as the distance between you and the Earth increases.
Soon, you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the incredible lunar landscapes, stone-cut churches, and volcanic spires that make up Cappadocia. There’re numerous sedimentary rocks forming in lakes and streams, with ignimbrite deposits erupting from ancient volcanoes about three million years ago.
Don't miss your chance to have an experience of a lifetime!
