Enjoy an outdoor, bird's-eye perspective of Cappadocia, a Turkish UNESCO site.

The rocky region of Cappadocia, Turkey's "fairy-tale kingdom," is home to both human ingenuity and natural wonders.

About Cappadocia

The opportunity to observe Cappadocia from a hot air balloon is what draws tourists to the area these days, but the region's rich and varied cultural and political past alone makes it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With its cliffs, river valleys, and fairy chimneys and pillars, the area is undoubtedly a breathtaking sight to see from above. Fortunately, planning a trip to the region and seeing it firsthand is not too difficult.

Hot air balloon tour cost

Depending on when you fly and how far in advance you book, prices can vary significantly. For instance, the Butterfly Flight ride from Butterfly Balloons can cost up to $200 per person during the height of summer, but it only costs about $150 in December. Similarly, individual flights are far more expensive than group ones. For instance, private flights with Hot Air Ballooning Cappadocia cost more than $6,650 per person, while group flights start at about $250 per person.

How long is the flight

The duration of a flight might range from 45 minutes to two hours. Which airline you choose and who you book your tour with will determine this. The Standard Program at Kapadokya Balloons, for instance, lasts 45 to 65 minutes, and the Deluxe Program lasts 75 to 90 minutes.

When is the best time to fly

Although you can fly in a hot air balloon at any time of year, April through November is the ideal time to visit Cappadocia because of its occasionally snowy winters. The majority of flights occur early in the morning, even though the desert can be scorching and dry in the summer. Warmer temperatures should still be pleasant for you during your flight, depending on the time of day and altitude.

Where to take the best photos of the ground

Go to Göreme's Sunrise and Sunset Point early in the morning to see the balloons rise with the sun if you want to relive your time in the air or want to get a sneak peek.

The region of Cappadocia is made up of numerous towns and cities. The three most visited tourist destinations are Uçhisar, Göreme, and Ürgüp.
