About this activity
You will be collected from your hotel at sunrise, approximately 4:30am, for your hot air balloon ride. You will be offered a light breakfast while your pilots check the weather conditions and decide on the best launch site for the preferred flight path. Once you set off, below you will be a unique landscape, a combination of natural beauty and a deep and complex history. From the balloon you will see it, feel it and fall in love with it. At the end of a fantastic flight you will celebrate the experience with champagne, shared stories and friendship.
After the hot-air balloon ride, enjoy breakfast at your hotel before starting your full-day tour of Cappadocia. Start the day with a leisurely 4km walk along the Red and Rose Valleys. These valleys have some of the most breathtaking and mysterious views in the region, famous for the fabulous volcanic rock formations, located in the heart of Cappadocia away from the mainstream tourist sites. The relaxing walk will end in Cavusin Village where you will see a Rock Castle and the Troglodyte dwellings where people lived until the 20th Century. Lunch will be served in a local restaurant.
After lunch, descend toward the center of the earth with a trip to the underground city of Kaymakli, one of the largest and deepest underground settlements in Cappadocia. The city is approximately 40 meters deep and contains all the rooms commonly found in underground cities, such as stables, cellars, storage rooms, refectories, churches and wineries.
On the return, visit Pigeon Valley where you will have spectacular views of Dovecotes, old abandoned cave homes and old Greek houses.
 
Lastly, stop in Ortshisar to see Ortshisar Castle, the biggest mass of fairy Chimneys in Cappadocia.
Head back to your air-conditioned coach and drive back to your hotel at the end of the day.
