Hot-air balloon at sunrise

Pick-up is about an hour before sunrise, with tea and pastries at the launch field while the balloons inflate. Your group can take over one or several baskets of 16 to 24 people, so colleagues fly together rather than with strangers.

Pilots are licensed by the Turkish civil aviation authority and fly for about an hour over the valleys around Göreme, rising above the fairy chimneys and dropping low into the valleys depending on the wind. On landing, the crew sets up a table for a champagne or juice toast and hands out flight certificates.

Flights depend on the weather and are confirmed the evening before. If a flight is cancelled, we rebook for the next morning or arrange an alternative, so we recommend scheduling it early in your stay.
