Located in south central Turkey, Cappadocia is an hour flight from Istanbul.  This unique landscape is worth the trip!

Volcanic eruptions created these surreal rock formations. The lava flowed to form “tuff-rock” which thousand of years

of rain and wind erosion sculpted into curvy cliff faces and pointy conical formations, know locally as “fairy chimneys.”

Ballooning is big business in the region. Floating high above this other-worldly landscape is an incredible sight!

Your hotel pick-up is 4:30am. Free coffee included…  Up to 100 balloons can be in the air on any morning!

This was Sandy’s first hot-air balloon trip and John’s second. Both were really happy to be taking this trip!

There were 20 people in our basket including the pilot. All cameras were clicking. You wanted to catch everything!

Balloon rides are one hour long and early in the morning because of the temperature and wind. We loved every minute!

We had a soft landing in a field of flowers! Our “chase team” met us with a bottle of champagne to celebrate our great adventure!
