Best ballooon ride ever. They pick you up by 4.30 am from your hotel(no matter the season it’s always cold at 4.30 in Neveshir, you need a jacket), take you to their office, where they serve you breakfast and assign you pilots. You are then dropped off at the balloon ride location. They educate you on the landing and safety measures then off you go. The views were breathtaking. These pictures don’t do any justice at all. After the ride, you celebrate your safe landing with champagne and you are awarded medals and certificates.

Una bellissima esperienza da fare sicuramente in Cappadocia. Il nostro pilota Ziya è stato magnifico nel portarci in aria sopra Goreme.
