Cappadocia Photography Tour

For those who purchase the balloon ride: We are planning to start our day early in the morning with a hot air balloon tour. The departure point and the time for the balloon tours usually determined by the weather and the condition of the wind. The balloon company will pick us up before the sunrise to witness how the crew and the pilot unloads, assembles and inflates the balloon at the take-off site.The balloons will climb approximately 300 meters (1000 feet) during the 90-min flight. A marvelous panoramic view will greet the passengers while drifting above the valleys and between rock formations. Balloons move by the wind and we will float wherever the wind takes us, so that each flight brings new and memorable experiences. We will be treated to a champagne ceremony upon landing by the crew, then taken back to our hotel for breakfast.

After uniting with the full group at breakfast, we have a very loaded program: After a stop at the otherworldly rock formations, we will hike the Pasabag valley, where we will see the most striking fairy chimneys in Cappadocia with twin and even triple rock caps. After a stop by the open air carpet shop to see their preparation and take photos with carpet backgrounds, we will drive to the “Love” valley for a 2 hour hike – you will understand why it’s called so upon arrival. 🙂 This will be followed by visits to Guvercinlik, Hisar & Avcilar, ending up at one of the best panoramic locations in the area in Goreme for some sunset shots. We will follow with a dinner and then, if the weather permits, do an astrophotography workshop with the fairy chimney foreground to finish this day off.
