Activity provider: Ask In Cappadocia
Watching the sunrise fill the valley while the big letters glowed softly felt surreal. They surprised us with a Polaroid guestbook filled on the spot, which we got to keep.
Highlights
Full Description
The Ihlara Valley Balloon Tour lets you drift above a dramatic 14-km canyon cut by the Melendiz River, dotted with rock-hewn churches and the impressive Selime Monastery. Flights last 45–60 minutes, climbing up to 3,000 ft when conditions permit. You'll watch the sun spill golden light onto lush riverbanks while only a handful of balloons share the sky — a far less crowded scene than Göreme.
