My favorite hot-air balloon flight company is Kapadokya Balloons with an office in Göreme Town. They have excellent, experienced pilots, first-rate equipment and an unblemished safety record—all of which are very important, believe me.

On my first hot-air balloon flight ever, the pilots, Lars and Kaili, told me "we'll pick apricots from the trees" as we descend into the steep Cappadocian valleys then ascend to vault the volcanic ridges.

I thought they were joking, but they weren't.

Lars and Kaili are so skillful that we did indeed fly close enough to pluck fruit from trees, but it was spring and none was ripe yet. Fruit or no, their skill is nothing short of astounding. This photo gallery has more info.

Kapadokya Balloons has several different flight durations and fares. If you plan to fly only once in your life, I'd recommend that you go for the longest flight so your time soaring silently through the heavens doesn't seem all too short.

One of the nice things about these early morning flights is that you've had the thrill of the day (if not of a lifetime), and then you go have breakfast and still have a full day of fun ahead of you.

Contact Kapadokya Balloons for details on schedules, reservations and fares. (Be sure to mention TurkeyTravelPlanner.com when you contact them, for these reasons.)
