Cappadocia Ballooning
Easily the best way to see the otherworldly landscape of Cappadocia is from a balloon—and ballooning here is now so popular as to have become de rigueur.
There are several operations that run ballooning trips, everything from a quick up-and-down packed into a basket with a big crowd to four hours in a smaller basket where everyone has a view.
We chose the Rolls Royce of balloon trips (hey, when’s the next time we’ll be in Cappadocia?), with Kapadokya Balloons, an outfit run by Lars-Eric Möre and Kaili Kidner, a Swedish/English duo that have been running ballooning trips for over 10 years.
At €250 per person, the price is steep, but the ride is a once-in-a-lifetime experience…and is this the time to cut corners? If the price is too steep but you still want the experience of getting up in a balloon over the crazy landscape, there are some more budget options available—ask around town. Kapadokya Balloons also has a larger-basket, shorter option available so give them a call.
Oh, and the photography opportunities are incredible! (as you can see) Make sure you bring extra batteries and memory cards—between the two of us we shot over 400 photos in one morning!
