Turkey has more hot air balloons than any other country in the world, and the best hot air balloon ride is in Cappadocia, an area formed by the Erciyes and Hasandagi volcanoes that erupted about 3 million years ago,

There are all kinds of strange hollow stone hills, varying in height and size, as well as special shaped stone columns and stone clusters. The color is also extremely rich, red, gold, dark green, yellow, gray,

Surrounded by ancient villages and mountains, it is unique in the world and can only be seen from a hot air balloon.

Turkey is famous for its hot air balloons and has strict safety regulations. In Cappadocia, only 150 balloons take to the skies each day, each carrying 10-20 people. Balloonists are professionally trained and qualified pilots of Turkish Airlines. The most important factor that determines whether a hot air balloon can take off is the wind. Early in the morning is the time of day when the wind speed is relatively stable and low, so only 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. Due to the low season and peak season prices are different, different balloon companies have slightly different prices, generally speaking, the price is around 1,000 yuan.
