At dawn you rise by balloon over the Göreme, Rose and Love valleys, at the hour when hundreds of balloons lift over the fairy chimneys at once. After landing there is a toast with sparkling wine and a personalised flight certificate.

The flight depends on the wind — the aviation authority decides in the morning; if cancelled, it is rescheduled or refunded.
How it works
You are collected from your hotel in Göreme or Ürgüp at around 04:00–04:40; the transfer to the launch site takes 20–40 minutes and a light breakfast is served. After the briefing and the inflation of the balloon comes the flight itself: about 60 minutes over the Göreme, Rose and Love valleys, with the basket rising to 800 metres and turning above the fairy chimneys exactly at sunrise, among hundreds of other balloons. There are 16–20 people in the basket. After landing on the trailer there is the traditional toast with soft drinks or sparkling wine, a personalised certificate, and the transfer back.

This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Sunrise, hundreds of balloons over the valleys, silence and only the burner making a sound. After landing there was sparkling wine and a personalised certificate. I cried at the beauty of it.

A magical flight; the pilot was careful and showed us the Love Valley from above. Getting up at 4 a.m. is hard, but for this it is easy. There were about 18 of us in the basket — a bit tight, but it does not spoil anything.

Our flight on the first day was postponed because of wind — the aviation authority decides in the morning, which is normal for balloons. On the second day it went perfectly and nobody lost any money.
