Turkey is full of amazing things<\/a>. It is the country that has been on my bucket list forever. And I know it is in most of yours, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was dreaming about walking through the cute little streets, sipping hot Turkish coffee by the harbour, or living my life on the beaches<\/a>. Then one day, I was actually doing all that for real.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was planning my trip, all my friends couldn\u2019t stop talking about the <\/span>Turkey hot air balloon. I was hooked and started learning about it. You know, people from all over the world come to Turkey just to experience this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust me, it was honestly one of the best things I got to do; that was magical. It\u2019s one of those sights that photos can\u2019t quite capture, and you need to be there to see it all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, before I did my hot air balloon booking, I was so confused. I saw a bunch of YouTube videos and spent hours scrolling on Instagram. Yet, I was left with no straightforward answers to the question I was most searching for.<\/span><\/p>\n

My struggle led me to create a solution for the next person taking the trip. This blog will guide you through all the necessary steps for hot air balloon rides in Turkey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where Does the Hot Air Balloon Take Place in Turkey?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Head to Cappadocia, a city spread with mystical landscapes. The fairy chimneys, hidden caves, and valleys in shades of pink and red will be unseen things for many people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This city is most famous for its hot air balloon rides, which I will explain in detail. And this activity takes place in the areas of Goreme, Urgup, and U\u00e7hisar.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Go to Cappadocia?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I know most people land in Istanbul, but I booked my flights to Cappadocia from India. I took a flight to Nev\u015fehir Airport (NAV) in Cappadocia, which cost me 35,000 INR.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cost-wise and time-wise, I made the right choice. The distance from Istanbul to Cappadocia is 740km, and the journey will take the whole night by bus or car. And it would have cost me 25,000 INR for domestic flights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust me, I did a lot of research before doing that. Istanbul is a city everyone talks about, and even me. And it is always the first thing on everyone’s plan as it is filled with tourist attractions on every corner. And, there are many wonderful things to do in Istanbul<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But my reason is that this hot air balloon was the first thing on my list, and landing in Cappadocia and going to G\u00f6reme was beneficial for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Goreme is the area I wanted to go to, as it is the central part of Cappadocia. I was able to access hot air balloons and many other activities easily. And there are numerous best places to stay<\/a> in and around that area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Nev\u015fehir Airport is 40 km from G\u00f6reme, and that is the airport you must land at. However, most people mistakenly take the Kayseri Airport (ASR), which is 75 km from G\u00f6reme.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
