Cappadocia is one of the best place on the earth for hot air balloon rides.
If you want to take a balloon flight one time in your life, save it for Cappadocia, you will have an unforgettable experience.
Cappadocia is the land with sensational sunrises and sunsets. Kilometres of panoramic vistas and breathtaking nature can pass under
you while you are suspended in an open basket. Serenity in the skies. This is more than just a balloon ride - it's a ballooning experience
you'll never forget..
On my first visit to Cappadocia, I didn't take the option of a hot air balloon flight and I really regretted it when I met people over breakfast who chattered excitedly about the wonderful time they had had and showed their photos. I promised myself I would not let the chance slip by me the next time! And I was not disappointed, there is something quite special about gliding over these weird landscapes that makes you forget that you are up at the crack of dawn. For those who aren't early birds, there is even the option of taking a later morning flight, but for me, watching the rocks light up with the sun's rays was part of the magic.
There are many ballooning companies in Cappadocia - here are some of the most reputable ones.
Butterfly Balloons is a boutique company which aims to stay small and friendly and to provide safe and quality hot air balloon flights as well as personalised service. Everything in this cottage industry is organised seamlessly, from the pick-up from the hotel to the welcome at the breakfast room to the ground crews setting out to the launch pad with military precision! This was one of the main reason for my choosing this company along with the fact that they guarantee a complete one-hour flight and that all the pilots speak English fluently. One of the main advantages of flying with an English-speaking pilot is that they make sure everyone in the basket understands the safety and landing instructions, they will give interesting explanations about the places you fly over and they generally ensure that everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves. With more than ample room in the basket on a regular flight, this was definitely a highly recommended experience.
