GOREME BALLOONS
Göreme - Nevşehir - Turkey
As one of the pioneering companies for passenger balloon rides in the Cappadocia region, we are able to provide you with a unique and unforgettable balloon adventure. With nearly a decade of experience and 16,000 passengers flown in 2005 alone, we proudly consider ourselves among the very best companies in Turkey and worldwide.
A balloon provides you with a privileged platform from which to observe the splendor that is Cappadocia. Imagine as you effortlessly drift over unique rock formations and rich fertile valleys, all set against the dramatic volcanic landscape that formed the region over two million years ago.
In a hot air balloon there is no sense of motion, the balloon is a part of the airstream in which it travels. You come to earth gently, flown by our expert national and international pilots; your mind and camera bursting with images that will last a lifetime. Whether adventurous or merely curious, this is a spectacular experience for people of all ages.
Join us in Cappadocia and allow us to show you some of the warm Turkish hospitality that has made our company famous for almost a decade. On our website you will find detailed information about us, should you wish to make a reservation or simply have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, our multilingual staff are waiting to hear from you.
A little before sunrise our pilots will check on the weather and the appropriate landing area for flight. Our staff will transfer you from your hotel at time that was previously arranged. While the crew inflates the balloons, you will have a complimentary Turkish style breakfast.
Day is dawning, balloons are inflating, you are having breakfast with marvellous view. After the inflation finished, you welcome to balloons.
Now, you are going up and up… Balloon flight begins. Here you are… You are flying…We go where the wind takes us. The sky is layered with air currents, so the pilot heats the air inside the balloon with the burner to rise into currents with different directions.
There is a marvellous view of Cappadocia from above. You can take pictures and our crew will be happy to take pictures of you in the balloon. So, bring your camera and lots of films.
Your flight time will be approximately one hour. We are welcome to land in the many open fields in the area we fly over. Your pilot will begin the gentle descent when he finds an appropriate landing site where we are met by our experienced ground crew. After packing up the balloon, while you are toasting champagne, we will give your certificates. Then you will be transport from our pick-up points. The whole experience lasts 3 to 4 hours, so you will have the rest of the day to enjoy the many attractions of the Cappadocia
