What time does the balloon flight start, and how long does it last?
Departure is planned for about 45 minutes before sunrise. Hotel pickup is about 75–90 minutes before departure, and the exact time is confirmed via WhatsApp the evening before. Time in the air is about 45–75 minutes depending on weather and wind (Standard about 60, Comfort and Deluxe about 75 minutes). Breakfast, a flight certificate and a non-alcoholic celebration drink are included.
What happens if the weather is bad and the balloon cannot fly?
The flight decision is made early in the morning based on wind and visibility measurements; this decision is not up to the agency. If the flight is cancelled due to weather, we move you to the next morning free of charge or you receive a full refund. That is why we recommend booking your balloon flight for one of the first mornings of your stay.
Day tours
How big are the groups on day tours, and which languages do guides speak?
Daily tours are run in minibuses of up to 14 people; guiding is available in Turkish, English, German and Russian, and groups are formed by language. Private tours have a maximum of 6 people per vehicle, and you choose the language. ATV and horse tours are run in small groups of up to 8 people, and jeep safaris in groups of up to 10.
Payment and cancellation
Do I need to pay to make a booking?
No. No payment is taken when you make a booking request. Your request is usually confirmed within 1–2 hours, and at the latest within 24 hours. You pay on the day of the tour in cash (EUR, USD, TRY) or by card.
What are the free cancellation and refund terms?
You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the tour time. If the balloon flight is cancelled due to weather or flight conditions, you are offered a free move to the next morning or a full refund. In case of cancellations by the agency, a full refund is given. No refund is given in case of no-show.
Transfers
Which areas do you offer free hotel pick-up from?
Free pickup and drop-off for balloon flights, day tours, activities and Turkish night are provided from hotels in Göreme, Uçhisar, Çavuşin, Ortahisar, Ürgüp and Avanos. If your hotel is outside these areas, contact us via the contact page or WhatsApp and we will find the best solution together.
How will I know my pick-up time?
Once your booking is confirmed, your pickup time is sent to you via WhatsApp the evening before. For early-morning tours such as the balloon flight, the time is set according to departure. If you have any questions, our WhatsApp line is open 24/7.
General
When is the best time of year to visit Cappadocia?
Every season has its own beauty. If you are visiting for the first time, May–June and September–October are a balanced choice. Winter offers snowy landscapes and a quieter region. July and August are hot and busy. Balloon flights run all year round but depend on weather conditions, so we recommend booking your balloon flight for the first mornings of your stay.
