About this tour

Lift off before sunrise over Göreme, float across the fairy chimneys for an hour, and land to a champagne toast. Flights are run by our own certified crew with 18 years over these valleys.

  • One hour of flight time — not 45 minutes like most operators
  • Small baskets, 16 passengers maximum, everyone gets a rail spot
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off in Göreme, Uçhisar and Ürgüp
  • Flight certificate and champagne toast on landing

Cappadocia is one of the three places on earth where balloons fly almost every morning of the year, and there is a reason every photograph of Türkiye seems to come from here. You are collected from your hotel in the dark, driven to the launch field, and served tea while the envelopes are inflated around you — that part alone is worth waking up for. Once airborne, the pilot works the wind layers to drop into the valleys and then climb back to 800 metres for the wide view over Göreme, Love Valley and the Rose Valley. The flight ends where the wind decides, our chase crew finds you, and you land to a toast and a certificate.

    Our pilot had been flying here since 2008 and pointed out things we'd have missed from the ground. Landing was so soft we didn't feel it. The champagne is a nice touch but the certificate made my daughter's week.

    Flight was cancelled on our first morning because of wind. They moved us to the next day without a word of argument and picked us up again. Still five stars for how it was handled, four because we lost a morning.

    Response from konuk

    Thanks Dmitry — the aviation authority grounds every balloon in Cappadocia when the wind is over the limit, so all we can do is move you and make it easy. Glad the second morning worked out.

    Third time flying in Cappadocia and the first time with konuk. Full hour in the air, not the 40 minutes I've had elsewhere, and the basket wasn't overloaded — everyone had a place at the rail.

    The pickup was at 4:30 and I was grumpy about it until the tea at the launch field. Watching twenty balloons inflate around you in the dark is the part nobody tells you about. The flight itself was calm, the pilot took us right down between the rock formations twice.
