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.)
