Hot Air Balloon Flight in Cappadocia
There is one view of Cappadocia that cannot be seen from the ground — hundreds of hot air balloons floating above the valleys in the first rays of sunlight.
A hot air balloon flight is Cappadocia’s main adventure and one of the most iconic sights in Turkey. At sunrise, dozens of balloons silently rise above the “fairy chimneys,” rocky valleys, and the ancient landscapes of Göreme. It is a spectacle worth waking up before dawn for.
Guided Cappadocia organizes daily sunrise flights and, for the 2026 season, works only with licensed companies in the region with many years of experience.
How the Flight Works
Early in the morning, before sunrise, you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the launch site. Over a light breakfast, you can watch the pilots fill the huge balloons with hot air — this alone is worth seeing.
With the first rays of the sun, the balloon slowly rises into the sky. For about 60 minutes, you glide smoothly over the valleys, rising up to 1,000 meters and then descending again almost to the rocks. After a gentle landing, you’ll enjoy a traditional celebration with a glass of champagne and a flight certificate.
What to Expect
An unforgettable sunrise over the valleys of Cappadocia. A bird’s-eye view of fairy chimneys and rock formations. Experienced licensed pilots. Spacious XL baskets for comfort. A soft, calm flight suitable for all ages. An atmosphere of true adventure from start to finish.
What’s Included
Hotel pickup and drop-off. Light breakfast before the flight. Hot air balloon flight of about 60 minutes. Glass of champagne after landing. Official flight certificate. No hidden fees.
Important Information
Flights operate every morning at sunrise, all year round. Each departure is approved by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Turkey (SHGM) depending on weather conditions. The average flight altitude is up to 1,000 meters. The best conditions for flying are in spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November).
We Recommend
Dress according to the weather — it is cool at sunrise, but warmer in the basket thanks to the burners. Wear comfortable closed shoes and bring your phone or camera: the best photos are taken in the first minutes after takeoff, when the sun rises over the valleys. In the high season of 2026, book 2–3 weeks in advance.
Money-Back Guarantee
If the flight is canceled due to weather conditions, you will receive a 100% refund. Cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance are also fully refundable. Safety always comes first — the decision to fly is made by the aviation authority, not the operator.
Why Book in Advance
Hot air balloon flights in Cappadocia are very popular, and availability is limited. In the high season, dates sell out quickly. To choose a convenient morning and the best available price, book in advance — online confirmation arrives immediately.

Weather: Hot air balloon flights depend on weather conditions. Wind, rain, or dense fog can affect your flight. In some cases, flights may be canceled or postponed to another day.
Booking in advance: Since hot air balloon flights are very popular in Cappadocia, especially in season, we recommend booking tickets in advance. This will ensure you have access to your desired time and date.
Morning flight: Most flights take place in the morning, especially early, so passengers can enjoy the beauty of the sunrise over the amazing landscapes of Cappadocia.
Clothing and footwear: It can be cool on the hot air balloon even in warm weather, so we recommend dressing warmly. Comfortable shoes are also important, as landing may take place on uneven terrain.

Medical restrictions: Make sure you have no medical contraindications for hot air balloon flights, such as heart problems or pregnancy.
Follow instructions: Follow the pilot's instructions during the flight. All actions and movements on board the hot air balloon are usually strictly regulated for safety reasons.
Expectations: A hot air balloon flight is a unique and unusual experience, but don’t expect to fly like a bird. The hot air balloon moves with the wind, and you enjoy a smooth and gentle ascent above the landscapes.

Sezai is an excellent guide, having accompanied us for two days from arriving in Istanbul to heading home from Keiseri Airport. He speaks Russian perfectly, jokes a lot, always helps travelers if you urgently need to contact the hotel, airport, etc. One day in Cappadakia is not enough, of course, if I come again - I will always turn to the same guide! Cesai, thank you!!!

The most unforgettable journey! Aug. 2018 • For Two We were so lucky to find this agency. We turned late at night to go the next day in a hot air balloon. Ibrahim arranged for us very quickly in the evening, and at 4 a.m. they came to pick us up. There are several air companies in Cappadocia, but the one Ibrahim works with, we really liked. Flying in a hot air balloon must be done, it is just magical! The price was also the lowest for this agency. We were with a little baby, so we went on different days with my husband and we both really enjoyed the service! Ibrahim speaks Russian very well and can arrange any tours. The 3 days that we were, we went to this agency every day to say hello and organize tours, because we knew that quickly organize everything and you can not worry about anything.

Cappadocia May 2019 We just walked by and walked in. As a result, we received a lot of impressions from excursions. Everything was organized clearly and professionally. I especially liked the individual tour (the group did not gather). We were taken to places where tour groups do not reach. Far away in the mountains we saw temples that were much better preserved than the temples in the valley. We saw abandoned villages. We roamed the mountains and enjoyed peace and quiet. We also took an individual safari tour. It was really great!

Red private tour Feb. 2021 • For two Enjoyed the beautiful Cappadocia in the company of guide Sezai. We visited the Goreme open-air museum, all the chapels, the Valley of Love and Imagination, and looked at the pottery factory in Avanos. Everything was clearly organized, we were picked up from the hotel on time, we were on time everywhere, there was free time, lunch and entrance tickets are included in the price of the Excursion. Sezai is a pleasant, intelligent person, speaks excellent Russian, and presents the material in an informative, understandable and interesting way! Answered all questions and gave recommendations for the next days. I recommend this agency.

Interesting, rich, bright, colorful, romantic Feb. 2021 • For two My wife and I came to Cappadocia for just one day (2 nights). There is very little time, but there are a lot of interesting things around. This is a rock-fortress, and an underground city, and ancient Christian churches, and much, much more. How to be on time everywhere?! It’s good that before our trip to Cappadocia we contacted Sezai, our guide, who, through his agency, organized the entire program in the best possible way: meeting at Kayseri airport, transfer to Germe, accommodation in an authentic hotel stylized as a cave city, optimal excursion route to the most interesting places , interesting and educational excursion in good Russian, return transfer to Kayseri airport. It was very interesting and informative. We really regretted that, due to an early flight to Istanbul, we were not able to take part in a very spectacular and beautiful event: a mass balloon flight. We thank Sezai for organizing this trip, for a beautiful excursion that he conducted with sincere love for his country, with hospitality and respect for tourists visiting Cappadocia. We hope that we will return to Cappadocia and take a romantic and unforgettable flight over it in a hot air balloon!

Admirably! Jul. 2021 • Friends Good afternoon! At the beginning of July, I went from Side to Cappadocia on an excursion. I really wanted to take a very beautiful photo at sunrise with balloons, but the agency from which I went offered only the place to which all the tourists who came that day would be taken, and there were at least 100 of them in total. And I wanted it individually!!!!! Ordering a personal photo shoot was a bit expensive for me, and I began to look for other options on the Internet on how to meet the sunrise with balloons and so that no one would interfere with me taking these photos against the background of balloons. And I found it!!!! This is TT Travel, which offered a "Breakfast with Balls" tour. I was very pleased with the price, as at that time there was a discount of as much as 50% of the total cost!!! Everything went perfectly!!! 100% organization. Everything was very tasty and beautiful!!!! However, there was no time for food when the balloons went up.If any of my friends go to Cappadocia, I will recommend this agency!!!!!!
15 July 2021
We will definitely come back!! Let's continue to explore these beautiful places, mesmerizing in their grandeur. Dec Aug. 2021 • Friends We booked a tour without really reading the reviews. We spent our vacation in Istanbul, decided to go to Cappadocia in just 5 minutes. Everything was perfectly organized. From the airport pick-up to the transfer, the hotel exceeded all expectations. The whole team is doing a great job. A low bow to the whole team.

Rigans are delighted with Cappadocia and TT Travel Apr Aug. 2023 • Friends On behalf of the group of Riga residents who visited beautiful Cappadocia from April 8 to 10, 2023 with INELTA Travel, we express our deep gratitude to the travel agency TT Travel for the excellent organization of the tour. Everything was thought out in the organization of our tour: the meeting of the guide with the group at the Nefshehir airport, and panoramic stops even before checking into the hotel, and a very colorful Boutique Hotel Garden Inn, and, of course, a perfectly executed excursion program. I would especially like to note our guide Sezai for his high professionalism and friendly attitude to tourists. We fully felt the Turkish hospitality and cordiality, care for each of us. And even though we did not manage to fly on balloons this time due to weather conditions, thanks to Sezai, we saw so many interesting and unusual things that we fell in love with this amazing, unreal land! We will definitely come again and fly not only in a dream, but also in reality! We will use the services of TT again_Travel and recommend it to others. With them, it is reliable, interesting, and of high quality! Inessa

We had the best experience during the green tour with Jalal: he was kind, thoughtful, fun and told many interesting stories, including praying and meditating together, learning about local customs and even dancing a little! Do we recommend this tour to everyone? Ours was Russian-speaking.
