Romantic Turkish Hot Air Balloon Journey

Magical Journey in Blue Turkey🏰 Here, you’ll find not only romantic hot air balloons but also countless stunning historical sites and breathtaking beaches! Let’s embark on this dream trip across the Eurasian continent~ ✨Trip Highlights: Covering Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Pamukkale, experience the essence of Turkey all at once! 【Eurasian Crossroads · Istanbul】 📍Hagia Sophia This architectural marvel has withstood 1500 years of history. It was once a Byzantine church, later converted into a mosque, and now open as a museum. It’s recommended to visit in the morning to avoid crowds. 📍Blue Mosque The only mosque in the world with six minarets, its interior is breathtaking with blue Iznik tiles. Remember to dress appropriately! ⚠️Tips: The two attractions are only a 5-minute walk apart, so you can visit both together. 【Magical Wonderland · Cappadocia】 📍Goreme Open-Air Museum Home to an astonishing number of cave churches, the most stunning being the "Dark Church," whose frescoes remain vividly preserved. 📍Hot Air Balloon Experience Be sure to book in advance! It’s recommended to choose the first flight to see the sunrise and enjoy the most stable air currents. The first flight costs about 250 euros per person. 🍴Recommended Restaurant: Topdeck Cave Restaurant (the cave dining experience is amazing) 【God’s Masterpiece · Pamukkale】 📍Hierapolis Ancient City Ruins A Roman-era spa town where you can still see well-preserved Roman theater and bath ruins. 📍Pamukkale Hot Springs The milky white calcified pools feel soft like cotton. Walking barefoot can be a bit uncomfortable, so it’s recommended to bring thick socks. 🛏️Accommodation Suggestions: Istanbul: Boutique hotels in the Galata district (close to attractions and very stylish) Cappadocia: Must experience a cave hotel! (Many options in Goreme town) Pamukkale: Stay at a hot spring hotel, soaking in the springs while watching the sunset is amazing. 🥘Food Highlights: •Lahmacun (Turkish pizza) •Testi Kebab (pottery kebab) •Baklava (nutty layered pastry) •Turkish black tea + apple tea are must-tries! 💡Useful Tips: 1. Prices: Outside tourist areas, prices are very reasonable; a cup of apple tea costs about 10 lira. 2. Tips: About 10% in restaurants, 5-10 lira for hotel porters. 3. Exchange Rate: It’s better to exchange money in the city; airport rates are not favorable. 4. Sunscreen: UV rays are very strong along the Aegean coast! 5. Dress Code: Headscarves and long pants/skirts are required in mosques. 6. Best Seasons: April-May and September-October to avoid the intense heat of July and August. Goreme Goreme Open-Air Museum
