Hot Air Balloon Flight
Why choose Cappadocia for your hot air balloon flight?
The heart of Cappadocia was perfectly designed by nature to fly hot air balloons. The unique landscape creates the best wind conditions for year-round flying. Not to mention the impressive and other-worldly rock formations and stunning valleys carved between orchards and vineyards provides a mystical view from above.
Most of the hot air balloon flights take off just as the sun is rising over the mountains. This is when the wind and weather conditions are ideal for the best hot air balloon experience. This time of day also bathes the area in the soft colors of the sunrise, creating shadows dancing through the valleys and ancient villages.
One of the most asked questions from our guests is: what should I wear?
Cappadocia has all four seasons, and each season will have a different answer. Generally speaking, wear what you would wear for that season during the day, maybe add one more layer for any early morning chills. Casual or sport-style shoes are preferred as the take-off and landing locations vary with the winds.

While all hot air balloon pilots are fully licensed and highly experienced, we know the teams with that little bit of extra experience and extra mastery—to work with the winds and gently guide your balloon to the best locations—making your balloon dreams soar.
All balloon operators in Turkey are highly experienced and fully-licensed. The Turkish aviation department monitors all wind conditions and “safety first” is the number one rule. High winds are the most common reason for flights to be delayed or cancelled. If that happens, usually you’ll have the option to choose the next morning. It’s best to try to book the first morning you’ll be waking up in Cappadocia during some seasons where wind might be an issue.
