Good to Know Before Your Balloon Flight

Balloon flights over Cappadocia lift off early, right around sunrise. That's when the air is calmest, which makes for the smoothest, safest ride and the best light over the valleys and rock formations below.

Your exact launch time shifts a bit with the season, and flights only go up when conditions allow, so plan for an early start and expect the schedule to firm up close to your date.
