Cappadocia, abbreviated as Kappa,
is one of the most famous tourist cities in Turkey,
located in the southeastern part of ancient Asia Minor.
Cappadocia has a very unique karst landscape,
which is very similar to the surface of the moon,
so it is also known as "the place on Earth that most resembles the moon".
Cappadocia was once selected by the American National Geographic magazine
as one of the top ten most beautiful landscapes on Earth.
It is also one of the best places on Earth to take a hot air balloon ride.
When traveling to Turkey,
one must not miss Cappadocia.
Take a hot air balloon ride in the valleys at dawn,
and experience a magical aerial journey.
The specific itinerary is generally:
Depart around four in the morning,
tourists arrive at the hot air balloon take-off area.
The staff prepares for the take-off operation,
and tourists board the basket under the hot air balloon.
When the air in the hot air balloon reaches a certain temperature,
the tourists in the basket will slowly rise to the sky with the hot air balloon.
Colorful hot air balloons surround you,
this will be a very exciting and unforgettable magical journey!

The most romantic moment in Turkey, the Cappadocia hot air balloon
After flying for an hour from Istanbul, we finally arrived at the place that is said to resemble the moon's surface the most on Earth.
We couldn't wait to book the hot air balloon, and really, we finally saw it!!!
We got up at 3 a.m., then prepared to set off. The whole experience was too romantic and too stunning, with over a hundred hot air balloons flying together in the sky over the unique karst topography, and every shot was beautiful.
From the pitch-dark early morning, we took off in the hot air balloon and watched the sunrise, feeling the charm of the transition between day and night amidst the ups and downs.
Looking around, there were countless hot air balloons in the sky, each one a separate landscape, so spectacular, an indescribable experience! You must try it once to know.
ps: The price of each hot air balloon company differs, so it's worth comparing a few. Ours was 110 euros, which is quite reasonable.

Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Tour: Exploring the Art Created by Earth
Fly in a hot air balloon in Cappadocia! This is my second luxurious hot air balloon flight in Cappadocia since 2014!
Cappadocia is listed as a World Heritage Site, known for its hot air balloon flights, but in fact it is a rare 'comprehensive heritage', combining 'natural landscape' and 'human history'.
This land stretches about 50 kilometers from north to south, eroded by long-term wind and rain. As shown in the photo, there are unique rocks that cannot be seen elsewhere, including rocks like chimneys and hills. It's simply the art created by the earth!!
In addition, a huge underground city has formed deep underground, hundreds of meters below the ground. These underground cities were built by Christians about 1600 years ago. This is where the persecuted hid. Even from the hot air balloon, you can see many entrance caves on the rock wall. (You can look for them in the photos)
Hot air balloons are fragile objects that require specific meteorological conditions to fly. Until the day before, I didn't know if I could fly, but this time during my stay in Cappadocia, I flew every day😭✨Amazing, right!? (By the way, it is said that there was no flight the day before and the next day)
The flight time is from 7 am to 8 am, lasting an hour. That day there were about 100 hot air balloons. The hot air balloons floated up and down like marshmallows, and the highest flight altitude that day actually reached 600 meters (!). Along the way, we also saw the sunrise, which was a very satisfying aerial walk.
Many hot air balloon companies allow 'rescheduling to the next day when unable to fly', so be sure to check when booking✌

F L O A T I N G: The 4:30am wake up call was rough but it was an experience of a LIFTIME! Definitely one of my most memorable excursions to date. All flights take place just before sunrise and last roughly an hour long. Why do a hot-air balloon ride anywhere else in the world? It was like I was floating over a scene from a real life storybook.

Travel in Turkey|There is a high-value cave hotel with high cost performance. It seems to have come to the outer planet~
mentioned in Turkey, everyone should first think of sitting on a hot air balloon! That's right, in Cappadocia, in addition to watching the sunrise on a hot air balloon, I think it is a special experience to stay in a cave hotel!
When I went to Turkey, there were not so many net red hotels, so please stay at a cave hotel with a very high price/performance ratio and very impressive price! This hotel is also highly rated on major websites. Looked at the current 600RMB can still live!
Hotel Name: Traveller's Cave Hotel
The hotel is like a garden surrounded by flowers. The top restaurant is the highest point in the town of Goreme, which is sitting on the terrace. In the morning, you can directly enjoy the spectacular scene of the hot air balloon dancing with the sunrise!
We were late at the time, only the rock house, and later went to visit the cave room of the small partner. In fact, the ventilation is not as good as the rock room, and the ceiling will be shorter. But it is also a rare experience! The rooms are very European in style and offer a complimentary breakfast for two.
The front desk can consult the reservation ATV and hot air balloon as well as the red line green line or chartered car, the price is very affordable. It is worth mentioning that the hotel's own restaurant offers lunch and dinner is also very delicious, no worse than other restaurants in the town!

Soar Above Cappadocia: A Land of Dreams, Balloons, and Ancient Wonders!
Just returned from Cappadocia, and the hot air balloon ride was nothing short of magical! Floating above the fairy chimneys as the sun rose, painting the sky in vibrant hues, was an experience I’ll never forget. Beyond the breathtaking views, the city itself is a treasure trove of history and charm. From ancient cave dwellings to the warm hospitality of the locals, Cappadocia has something special for everyone. If you’re looking for a mix of adventure, beauty, and culture, this is your sign to visit! 🌅✨#cappadocia #cappadociadreams

In the small town of Goreme, a morning belongs to a hot air balloon.
The town of Goreme in Cappadocia. It was just dawn and the whole town was bustling with activity. It turned out that a huge group of hot air balloons had begun to rise slowly. Standing in the gondola of a hot air balloon slowly rising into the sky, watching the colorful hot air balloons flying out of the miraculous karst landforms, you will feel a magical feeling. With the first rays of sunrise, the small town of Goreme turns into a fairy tale world.
Time flies so fast, and I still have so much fun getting off the hot air balloon. Next, use your feet to feel this land. The Gröme Valley and its surrounding areas are dominated by rocky hills of different shapes. Thousands of caves were dug on these rock faces, most of which were built by Christians who absconded from the Roman Empire. There are beautiful hangings on the tree next to the observation deck, and there are many local souvenirs that look like eyes. My friends said it was a bit strange, haha. When you come to the underground city, you can see cave-like villages and underground towns, and even very advanced ventilation methods. The history can be traced back to 3,000 years ago. Human wisdom is infinite.
Forgot to mention, the wonderful Cappadocia Gramme was also the filming location for the first part of "Star Wars" and was once called "the most moon-like place on Earth." Standing at the entrance of the mound, dreaming of putting on armor and holding a laser sword to kill everywhere, I am also a warrior!
Lunch is a special Turkish meal in Cappadocia, bread, vegetable salad, chicken rice or meatloaf rice. Instead of rice, it should be local corn crops. It tastes good. There is also dessert after the meal, which is super sweet, haha. After eating and drinking, we went to the "Uhlage" Canyon, a mysterious hiking route in Cappadocia. This is a desolate and mysterious world, because it is not easy to find it. The huge rocks on both sides of the canyon stood thick and majestic for an unknown period of time, and a small river of melted snow mountains flowed in the canyon. After walking down more than 300 steps to the bottom of the canyon, the canyon is full of life, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are in sharp contrast to the ones above. Occasionally, you can see caves on the cliff. It is said that hermits lived here more than a thousand years ago. On the way, we encountered a floating tent teahouse, a huge turkey, and a grandma spreading pancakes. I just had limited time, but I really wanted to enjoy it here.
There is never enough time to have fun. I didn’t stay to experience the cave hotel. Let’s leave some regrets and find a reason for next time. We took a night flight with Turkish Airlines to Istanbul.

[Sunrise Adventure in Cappadocia]
🇹🇷 Turkey, a country full of mystery and romance, and Cappadocia is the brightest pearl in this land. Here, I realized an important item on my dream list - taking a hot air balloon to overlook the strange landform like the surface of the moon.
🌍 Cappadocia, the name itself is full of magic. It is not only a World Cultural Heritage, but also one of the "Top Ten Earth Scenery". There are ancient underground cities, rock cave churches, and those breathtaking natural wonders.
🎈 The second time I came here, I chose to take a hot air balloon at sunrise. When the first ray of sunlight was sprinkled on this land, countless hot air balloons rose at the same time, and the picture was shocking and beautiful. I in the high altitude was deeply moved by the magnificent scenery. This is an unforgettable experience.
👀 Overlooking from the air, the strange terrain of Cappadocia is unobstructed. The weathered rocks are like natural sculptures, which make people marvel at the magic of nature.
🌅 Cappadocia, a place you must come once in your life. If you also have a dream, act now! Don't leave regrets in life.

The Hot Air Balloons of Cappadocia, Turkey, Are Worth Getting Up Early For
When traveling to the Cappadocia region of Turkey, there are usually two options: taking a 4x4 off-road vehicle or riding a hot air balloon. Having tried both, I would choose the latter if I went again because it's simply stunning.
You have to wake up around 4 AM to make it to the balloon launch site before sunrise. There, you'll see over a hundred hot air balloons taking off together, creating a colorful and spectacular scene. As the hot air balloons slowly rise, so does the sun. From the balloon, you can see the entire Cappadocia region.
Although you have to get up early, it's totally worth it.

Once in a lifetime 💭🎈
First time taking a 11 hours non stop flight to Istanbul and this was the main highlight of the trip! 🇹🇷 the hot air balloon view was really magnificent and catching the sun rise was 😍 I’m glad I ticked this off my bucket list~ the weather was also very cooling and though there were many people in the hot air balloon basket (around 40 I think) but it was not overly crowded.

Cappadocia, Turkey
Cappadocia (known as Kapadokya in ancient Turkish) is famous for its unique landscape, characterized by its extraordinary rock formations, cave dwellings, and the historical remnants of a semi-troglodyte population. Its 'fairy chimneys' are as renowned as the country's Pamukkale, both holding the title of a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, with the former being listed three years earlier than the latter. In addition to highlights such as the Göreme Valley and the Ihlara Canyon, visitors can also explore some astonishing underground cities. From hot air balloon rides offering panoramic views of the mushroom-shaped houses scattered across the hills, to visiting local pigeon house residences, and staying in a five-star cave hotel, these experiences are unparalleled in any other Arab city.
