In Turkey, I think the most romantic thing is to ride a hot air balloon to appreciate the karst landscape, but because the starting rate of hot air balloons in winter is very low, I will share some tips. The first and most important thing is luck. Some people stay for several days without catching up, but if you want to increase the probability of catching up with the hot air balloon, the best way is to book for more than two nights. In addition to watching hot air balloons, staying for three days and two nights in Cappadocia will not be boring. There are many other good attractions here, such as underground cities, Uchisar Castle, and you can also walk to appreciate Rose Valley and so on. The second is that you can pay attention to some predicting bloggers in the past. They will have a rough estimate of whether the hot air balloon will take off within a week. Although it is not very accurate, it can also be used as an auxiliary judgment. About the choice of hotel: Stay in Goreme, it is very convenient to book hot air balloon and other projects here. The accommodation here is very expensive. We chose a semi-cave hotel with a higher cost performance. The reason why it is called a semi-cave is because it is a hotel built by relying on a cave, which is very clean and warm. You can overlook the town from the hillside. About the price of hot air balloons: It will fluctuate at any time every day. We booked it for 60 euros per person. Although it is not the cheapest, the experience of less than twenty people in a frame is quite good. The off-season price is really cheap. Finally, I wish everyone a great luck.

This is one of the most magical destinations that we’ve visited. And it made it even more magical that it was the cold mornings when the ground was frosty. If you’re lucky you may get some snow too! I highly recommend to visit Cappadocia during the winter.

I rode a camel in Cappadocia🐪 The tour involves a solid one-hour ride on a camel, taking in the sights of Cappadocia from a distance, including famous spots like Rose Valley and Red Valley💕 The ride was more comfortable than I expected! This time, it just so happened that we were the only participants, so it turned into a private tour✌️ We made sure to give a proper tip💰 By the way, it's quite hot and dry, and there's a risk of heatstroke if you don't bring water, so be careful.

Cappadocia in Turkey is most well-known for the panoramic view of hundreds of hot air balloons gently ebbing and flowing above valleys and volcanic “fairy chimney” formations! Here’s what you will experience on a hot air balloon ride: 🎈You will be picked up from your hotel early in the morning, before sunrise, and driven to a light breakfast before going to the take-off site. 🎈Watch the inflation of the balloon then receive a passenger briefing which explains basic rules and safety measures for the balloon flight. 🎈And it's time to climb into the basket and the highlight of your Turkey trip begins! 🎈Enjoy spectacular view over the valleys of Cappadocia 🎈After the flight lands, enjoy the celebration with champagne and receive your flight certificate! This is a once-in-lifetime-experience not to be missed! #createwithtrip #naturewonders #turkey #cappadocia #hotairballoonride #adventures

Never sotop chasing the magic across this beatiful planet. Our most magical moment in Cappadocia on the terrace fo Koza Cave Hotel.

Often friends ask me: When is the best time to travel to Turkey⁉️ Turkey has different charms in different seasons 🍃Spring (March to May): This is one of the best seasons to travel to Turkey. The weather is warm and pleasant, gardens and parks start to bloom, especially in Istanbul and Cappadocia. 🌞Summer (June to August): Summer is the hottest season in Turkey, but also the peak tourist season for beaches and resorts. You can visit coastal cities in the Mediterranean and Aegean, such as Antalya, Fethiye, Cesme. The hot air balloon in summer is also the season with the highest chance of flying🎈 🍂Autumn (September to November): Autumn is another good time to visit Turkey. The weather is cool, the scenery is pleasant, you can visit the magical landscape of Cappadocia, the parks in Istanbul, the historical sites in Ephesus, etc. ❄️Winter (December to February): Winter is the off-peak season for travel to Turkey, but if you like skiing and hot springs, you can consider going to ski resorts in Uludag, Erzurum and Longni. Going to Pamukkale for a hot spring♨️ in winter is also a good choice. In general, there are many choices for the tourist season in Turkey, you can choose the most suitable time according to your preferences and travel plans. Whenever you go, Turkey has a rich and diverse culture, history and natural landscape. Now in winter, in addition to Istanbul and Cappadocia, I recommend you to add 【Pamukkale】 to your itinerary, arranging a five-star hot spring hotel🏨 is really comfortable. ⭕️8-day winter tour⭕️ D1 Istanbul gathering D2 Istanbul - play - plane - Pamukkale D3 Pamukkale - Fethiye D4 Fethiye - Paragliding - D400 - Antalya D5 Antalya - plane - Cappadocia D6 Cappadocia - hot air balloon - mixed line D7 Cappadocia - chase hot air balloon - horse riding/bathing-/skiing - plane - Istanbul D8 Istanbul send off

Finally experienced the much-sowed Cappadocia hot air balloon. Honestly, it wasn't that exciting, and by the second half, I just wanted it to end sooner. After all, setting off at 3:30 really raised expectations. I booked online in advance for 1780, with the company Air Kapadokya. Later, I found that Ctrip had a better price: 1660. When I asked my customer service, she said that was just pre-collecting customer money without paying the hot air balloon company yet. They would pay close to the flight time, which is not guaranteed. I don't know if what she said is true, but it seems that the hot air balloons are not fully booked, and there should always be seats available. I saw in the group that some people booked through the hostel owner after arriving in Cappadocia for 275 euros, and if they couldn't fly that day, they would have to pay more the next day. Others mentioned bookings over 300 euros. So, it seems that domestic websites are cheaper. We got up in the middle of the night to wait for the pickup car; we were staying far away, so we were the first stop. Along the way, we picked up several groups of passengers and headed to the company. The company provided breakfast, a box of soft drinks, a piece of cake, and a terribly unpalatable apple for each person. You could make your own coffee with the coffee machine. Around 4:30, we were called to board the bus and taken to the hot air balloon. Everyone climbed into the balloon basket as instructed by the staff. Our basket held no less than twenty people. Later, two more squeezed in, making it difficult to turn around. Dozens of balloons on the ground ignited and ascended at the same time, twinkling in the dark, colorful. Our balloon lifted off at 5:03. The balloon drifted slowly through the valleys, sometimes descending close to the strange rocks, sometimes rising to meet the sunrise, while constantly rotating to allow tourists to see different directions. Not only the unique landscape was breathtaking, but the sight of hundreds of hot air balloons floating in the sky was also spectacular. As the sun rose and the valley lit up, the novelty wore off, with nothing more to see. The hot air balloon company guaranteed an hour in the air, but the last ten minutes or so were basically wasted time looking for a landing spot. With so many balloons needing to land, it felt a bit like a scramble for space. Each balloon was paired with a trailer, and the basket had to land on the trailer, so the ground vehicles chased the balloons, and the minibusses carrying passengers also followed, to take the tourists back to their accommodations. The balloon pilots and trailer drivers kept communicating, directing them to the designated spots. Watching the vehicles scurrying around on the ground was quite entertaining. After the balloon landed, several staff members struggled mightily to pull the balloon down to the ground so that the tourists could climb out of the basket. The staff set up a small table, poured sweet wine, and celebrated a successful flight. They also tried to sell videos, which seemed to be around thirty or forty euros. The minibus driver took us back to our accommodation around 7:30. This tiring hot air balloon journey thus came to an end. Thinking about those hot air balloon employees, they had it even tougher.

Experience the best breakfast in all of Turkey! You will feel like you are in dreamland watching the sun rise with all of the balloons in the sky.

Cappadocia in Turkey is a region known for its unique terrain and history. Here, it is a must to experience a unique hot air balloon ride, soaring in the blue sky, watching the colorful hot air balloons, and overlooking Cappadocia from high altitude. The peculiar terrain, like the surface of the moon, is very spectacular, giving a feeling of being on another planet. Hot air balloon rides usually take place in the morning, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery at sunrise.

Hands down one of the mostmagical sunrises I have ever witnessed - Cappadocia, Turkey, with a thousand balloons.
