Cappadocia: Hot Air Balloon Flight & Cappadocia Tour

10. Cappadocia: Hot Air Balloon Flight & Cappadocia Tour

Our flights are taking pace over the "Soğanlı Valley”, one of the newly discovered attractions for balloon flights. Soğanlı is a serene valley with courtyard monasteries and cave churches from the 10th and 11th centuries. Due to its new discovery, very few balloons get the chance to fly in this uniquely beautiful valley. As you fly over this valley, you can imagine the daily pursuits of the people who lived here in the past and admire these unique formations. It is a living history with its monasteries, caves and dovecotes built in the rocks. Your biggest advantages are that you can fly way more comfortably in 18-person baskets instead of 28-person baskets in terms of capacity and that you will accompany the first flights of this extraordinary valley, which has just been allowed for flights. The valley is forty kilometers southeast of Nevşehir, about 1-hour drive from Göreme. The valley rivals the Göreme Open Air Museum and Ihlara Valley in terms of historic importance and natural beauty but receives far fewer visitors. After the balloon ride, we'll take you back to your hotel and pick you up once again for the Cappadocia tour. During this tour you'll have the opportunity to learn about this region's unique geography, history, arts and crafts, culture and peoples.

What people are saying about Aksaray Province

Great experience overall. The drive to the airport was in time, the flight was decent. But the Cappadocia part was at another level. The sights and guiding were great, fulfilling and well organized. Hot air balloon flight at soganli valley wasn't a rush, it was very calm and had a unique taste. Especially the cave hotel was amazing. We had a slight delay on our return flight but this is not about the agency, so it's all good. Everything you'd like to do in Cappadocia is all here. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic trip and incredible balloon experience. Our tour guide Selim with Stoneland travel was remarkable. Super knowledgeable, entertaining and hilarious. He had such a kind nature and made the trip all the more fun. Buses and connections were all on time. Communication with the agency was a little clunky at times and details a bit unclear but a minor grievance in what was a brilliant trip.

excellent service, organization and attention was more than excellent. The times and everything offered are fully met. Always with the concern of customer satisfaction. Super recommended.

Amazing place with super nice people! The trip is well organized and accommodation and food is exceptional. Recommend it!
