About this tour

Lift off at dawn over Cappadocia and watch the sunrise spread across the valleys, villages, and rock formations below. From the basket you get sweeping aerial views of fairy chimneys, vineyards, caves, and winding ridges that you simply can't see from the ground. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you're collected in the early morning and brought back after the flight. Pack layers, since the mornings run cold, and bring a camera for the kind of photos this landscape is famous for.

Good to Know Before You Fly

Cappadocia balloon flights run early in the morning, right around sunrise. That's when the air is calmest, which makes for the smoothest, safest ride and the best light over the valleys. Your exact launch time shifts with the season, so the pickup window may move earlier or later depending on when the sun comes up.

Plan on being collected from your hotel well before dawn. Once weather approval clears, you'll head to the launch site for the pilot's briefing before liftoff, so leave a little buffer in your morning and be ready to go when the transfer arrives.
