The spectacular surrealistic landscapes combined with excellent flying conditions allow the balloons to gently drift over and between fairy chimneys, pigeon houses hewn into the unique rock formations, orchards and vineyards through impressive valleys, each with distinctive rock formations, colors and features and then float up over rippled ravines for breathtaking views over the region. « less

No words can describe the beauty, the magic of this experience. Everything was well organized from the pick-up at the hotel at 4:30 AM and the return around 7:30 AM, the offering of tea, coffee and snacks before the flight, and bubbly after. The landscape is beautiful from the ground but from the air it becomes magical. You expect to... More

Did balloon ride with Sultan and it was spectacular. We were first up and went into the valley among the fairy chimenys for a long time. Worth every penny and getting up early. We used Rock Valley Travel to plan our trip for six of us. Their guide and driver were outstanding, taking us to Pummalkle, Anatyla, etc.

If you are in Capadoccia you simply can’t afford to miss this one. Even if you find it expensive, you should do it, as it is worth each penny. As a child each one of us must have wished to fly and so this is the opportunity to make that dream come true. You are in open air, going up... More

While ballooning is fabulous to begin with, the magnificent and unique terrain of Cappadocia raises the experience to a fascinating new level. I spent 29 years as a military aviator, and have to say that this is among the most scenic experiences I have enjoyed. Our pilot (Sky Way Balloons) was very professional, and gave us a thorough safety briefing... More

We went up at about 7.30 pm and were up for an hour and a half. I've ballooned before but the landscape of Cappadoccia made it even better, really acslierating. Quite expensive at 140-160 euros per person, depending on the season but worth it.
