Few experiences are more romantic than a remote location with a panoramic view, and a hot-air balloon ride in Cappadocia offers privacy, unique scenery, and champagne. As you soar through the sky, the expansive view across the landscape is like that of a storybook.
The region is whimsical and majestic, with deposits of tufts, volcanic ash, and ignimbrites that rise out of the Anatolian plains. A honeycomb of boulders imbued with civil history, you can capture the mosaic of natural art from the sky, enhanced by the burning colors of sunrise. Fly up to 1,000 feet and enjoy the point at which the fairy-tale landscape turns into a dreamy, lunar-like valley dressed in cream, orange, and gold.
