Excellent experience, excellent pilot. We forgot our phone in the bus and they were kind enough to make arrangements to have it returned to our hotel.

It was an unforgettable experience. Turquaz Balloons were punctual and well prepared. They picked us up from the hotel as agreed and we were served a light breakfast before continuing to the take off point. We got to watch how they fill the balloon with hot air before sunrise. Then we started flying high up to observe the sunrise over the beautiful valleys of Cappadocia. Our pilot, Polat, is experienced. He showed us around and gave us a quick tour about the valleys which we were looking at. Then he took us down close to the ground and started "sailing" in between the valleys. The flight in general was calm and full of beautiful sceneries. It felt like a fairy tale.
