Cappadocia, a semi-arid
region in central Turkey, is
known for its distinctive
“fairy chimneys,” tall, cone-
shaped rock formations
clustered in Monks Valley
& Göreme.
" AS IF PLUCKED FROM A
WHIMSICAL FAIRYTALE AND
SET DOWN UPON THE STARK
ANATOLIAN PLAINS ,
CAPPADOCIA IS A
GEOLOGICAL ODDITY OF
HONEYCOMBED HILLS AND
TOWERING BOULDERS OF
OTHERWORLDLY BEAUTY ." 
The Lonely Planet
Cappadocia is a landscape that
you will have never witnessed
before in your lifetime . This makes
it one of the most popular spots in
the world to go up in a Hot Air
Balloon .
As you take off for sunrise you will
start to be hypnotised by the
spectacular and surreal landscape
that lies below you . You will gently
drift over the fairy chimneys ,
through valleys scattered with
pigeon houses , over orchards and
vineyards . The different colours of
the diversified landscape will
leave you breathless . An activity
not to be missed .
