Göreme Balloons, Cappadocia

Hot Air Balloon Flame, Cappadocia, Turkey

Gas flame fills the
balloon with hot air.

Göreme Balloons is among Cappadocia's most prominent hot-air balloon companies, having flown over Turkey's spectacular moonscape since 1997.

The company's headquarters in Ürgüp is an impressive installation, as it must be to cater to the many pilots from many countries and the amount of equipment needed to launch a dozen balloons each morning.

You'll no doubt see Göreme Balloons' signature multicolored balloons flying above you just after dawn on any fair day.

The launch of their most popular flight is a sight to behold: ground crews inflate ten or more balloons at once. From flat folds of cloth the giant envelopes fill with air, first cold, then hot, until they rise from the volcanic soil, passengers clamber into the baskets, and they'yre off into the sky.

The panoramic view of the Cappadocian moonscape are unforgettable, of course, as your balloon rises to a kilometer or more into the sky, then dips down into a valley for a close look at the landscape.

At the end of the flight there's the traditional champagne toast, and a certificate with your name on it testifying to your flight into the blue.

The standard flight rises just after dawn, and ends in time for you to return to your hotel for breakfast and the beginning of any day tours you may have planned.
