Cappadocia is a beautiful place- one of my favourite of Turkey. The landscape is amazing (will post more threads and photos) but the view is a little different from the sky on a hot air balloon- though I felt that it is over-hyped. Taking a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia is like the �must-do� thing there; there are literally tens of such sight-seeing balloons in the air every morning and evening. All the operators offer more or less the same program- the main difference is the ride duration and the operator�s safety record. These operators target tourist groups and gear their services towards group. So �loose� tourists like us are only accommodated into whatever vacancies there may be on any balloon instead of the timing that we prefer.
