About this tour
Lift off from Cappadocia's Goreme Valley just as the sun comes up, when the air is calmest and the light is at its best. You'll float for about an hour over fairy chimneys, vineyards, cave dwellings, and the region's odd rock formations, with valleys and villages passing below. The morning starts with hotel pickup and a light breakfast, and ends back on the ground with a flight certificate to mark the ride. Round-trip hotel transfers within the Cappadocia area are included.

Good to Know Before You Fly
Cappadocia balloon flights go up early in the morning, right around sunrise. That's when the air is most stable, which makes for the smoothest, safest ride and the clearest views over the valleys.
The exact launch time shifts with the season and the specific operator, so your pickup window will be set the day before once conditions are confirmed. Wind and visibility drive everything here, and the crew won't fly unless it's safe to do so.
