Hot air balloon tour: a romantic experience in a lifetime

You must go to Turkey once🎈✨Everyone must be familiar with romantic Türkiye, because of the song "I want to take you to romantic Türkiye~" which is sung all over the country ✈️Arrival in Goreme: During the Spring Festival, fly from Istanbul to Cappadocia, 20:05-21:25. Come out and find the shuttle bus (you can search for other posts from Cappadocia to Goreme, some bloggers have shared photos of the bus 📷), walk 20 meters out of the airport to get on the bus, 250 lira per person, it will take you to the hotel. After getting on the bus, the attendant will collect the hotel name and announce it when you arrive. But just in case, you can turn on the navigation and double confirm that you have arrived at the hotel before getting off the bus 🚗. 🏨Hotel: Royal Stone Houses in Goreme, cheap, standard hotel facilities, very comfortable to stay in😌. And Goreme is really good for taking photos, so I didn’t pursue taking photos of the terrace of the cave hotel📸. 🎈Hot air balloon: The above-mentioned hotel is also a hot air balloon company, so I made the reservation directly at the front desk and was given a 20 euro discount (the price is different at different times, mine was 110 euros during the Spring Festival, for a balloon with 16 people). Booked in the evening, meet at the hotel entrance the next morning. I have to give a thumbs up to this hotel. It is actually a hot air balloon transfer point, so you can see tourists from other hotels rushing here in the early morning. I feel like I can sleep a little longer than those staying in other hotels😜. P5-P6 are the beautiful views taken from above the hot air balloon on the second day🎇. 🌄Around the town of Goreme: There are many other towns around. Most tourists will sign up for the red line and green line tour groups. In fact, you can also hike around, navigate along the road or take the town bus🚶‍♂️. I hiked 3-5 km and checked in some valleys, such as Love Valley, Pigeon Valley, and also walked to Uchisar Castle, the ticket cost 320 TL. The prices in this town are lower than those in Goreme. You can eat here. I ate at a restaurant called Huzur. It was not a disappointment. The beef in a can tasted very good 😋. I took the bus back to Goreme. Navigation: Hanem Art Center. Diagonally opposite this location, there is a white bus (P7) with "goreme" written on the front of the bus 🚌. ☕️love garden: It is a really great old grandfather coffee shop. Just locate love garden. I walked up from the hotel (it would definitely be more convenient if you have a car) for about 30 minutes and arrived before sunrise. The hot air balloons will fly from the city to the canyon little by little (P1-P4 without filter), which is very beautiful 😍. Old grandfather coffee is 150 lira/pot. Maybe it was the off-season when I went there, and there were almost no tourists here. It was very photogenic 📷. 🌃Night view of the town: Located at sunrise point, you can also hike there, the whole town is not big. P8-P9 is the beautiful night view of the town🌙. 🚗Leaving town: You can take a plane or a bus. For the bus, it is recommended to go to the bus station to buy tickets one day in advance, or use their local software to order online. You can also book bus tickets on the same day, but there may be a situation where there are no tickets and you need to choose a ticket for a later time. Bus station navigation: Göreme Otobüs Terminali, there are many small windows corresponding to different bus companies. If you are flying, you can ask the hotel to help you reserve a vehicle, which is the shuttle bus when you arrive, which is also very convenient✈️.
