The Cappadocia region, which was classified by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization “UNESCO” among the World Heritage Sites, is distinguished by its picturesque nature and ancient history.
Cappadocia is full of houses and churches that ancient peoples carved into the rock and remained a witness to the civilization of their time.
The balloons that fly every morning over Cappadocia provide an opportunity to enjoy watching these sights from the air as the sun rises, and the number of balloon passengers is constantly increasing.
