We went on the balloon trip yesterday morning. Following the recommedation of our landlady we booked the "Deluxe" flight. Not a cheap fun, but absolutely worth it. Starting from a place in Zemi valley (away from the mass starting places) we had a really great experience. Special thanks to our pilot Serhan - he was so experienced, calm and relaxed... More

Kapadokya balloons are really well organised and professional. We were picked up from the hotel, driven to a venue where we had a tasty Turkish breakfast. The balloon ride was brilliantly organised, the pilot Hatem was Egyptian and had been flying for many years. He took us down low, up high and landed gently in a field at the end.... More

My favorite experience in all of Turkey! You will remember the beautiful valleys, the other balloons nearby, and the quiet almost elevator like ride upwards for a long time.

Once we made... More

They then put us into vans and we drove further into the valley to the top of hills where our balloons were being blown up. That... More

The flight was a great experience. Seeing all these balloons over the amazing landscape is an unforgettable sight. The whole operation was very well organized and we felt very safe with our pilot Mustafa. Mustafa explained a lot of interesting facts about the area, about the balloons and piloting balloons. It was a lot of fun to watch balloons prepared... More
