Hot Air Balloon
Watch Cappadocia's unique fairy chimneys and valleys from above at sunrise. The approximately 1-hour flight offers an unforgettable experience.
A Unique Experience
Cappadocia balloon tours are among the world's most popular balloon flight destinations. Each morning at sunrise, hundreds of colorful balloons rise into the sky, gliding over fairy chimneys, valleys, and rock formations. The flight lasts approximately 1 hour, with pilots flying at different altitudes to offer both panoramic views and passages through valleys.
Practical Information
Flights begin just before sunrise; hotel transfers are typically around 04:30-05:00 AM. Weather conditions (wind, fog, rain) determine whether flights will take place. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation grants flight permission each morning. In case of cancellation, rescheduling or refunds are provided. For those with fear of heights, the high sides of the basket provide safety.
