BALLOONING

There’s nothing quite like it : you get up before dawn, grab a quick cup of coffe , climb into an all – terrain vehicle and set out for the launch site.As the sky lightens, you watch a pile of fabric the size of a small car swell into a huge , graceful balloon. Standing in the basket below , your pilot turns a valve, flames roar upward into the void , and you lift off into the chill morning air to float across the Cappadocian landscape  just as the warming sun makes its way above the horizon.

If you’ve never taken a flight in a hot - air balloon , Cappadocia is one of the best places in the world to try it. Flight conditions are especially favourable here, with gentle winds most mornings between April and November , and the views are simply unforgettable. Though the balloon depends on air currents for lateral movement, a good pilot can control the height with surprising precision. Recommended balloon companies boast that they can even descend into a Cappadocian valley and ‘pick apricots off the trees’. Because of the winds and the vertical control, every flight is an adventure. No two flights are ever exactly the same. Sturdy all-terrain vehicles follow your flight and assure that wherever the balloon lands it can be recovered.

There are Two Ballooning options :

Classic flight : 210 Euros per person includes ; transfers between hotel and balloon both ways, flight time one and a half hours, champagne celebration and flight certificate on landing.
